Kyoto Cultural experiences

We had a wonderful experience here. Georgia was our instructor and she was very patient and friendly. We made our own chopsticks, had them engraved and look forward to using them. I highly recommend trying this place out as it’s near some good tourist spots and not expensive too. I’ll be back again for sure. กิจกรรม:

Kyoto chopsticks making workshop is a great group activity to do when your feet have had enough of walking the endless stairs in kyoto. a very doable and satisfying process, that results in a very cool personally made souvenir. location is easy to find, central and there is an elevator to the third floor of the building. The workshop space is well set up and clean. The staff were attentive and very helpful and super friendly. Highly recommend this experience and going earlier in the morning than later on when its busier

It's a very memorial experience. We, our whole family of 4, got our whole ring, which is made it by ourself and is a perfect souvineir. The staff,Shunji is very helpful. My husband has a huge finger, he was trying to help us to get a coin to fit it. Thank you very much.

We had an awesome experience learning the art of Kintsugi in Kyoto. I attended with my adult daughter and we both had a wonderful time. The booking says the class is one hour, which is not enough time to actually complete the class. You’d be better allocating 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the experience. We really only had an hour and were rushed getting it finished in 1 hour 20 minutes. That was the only downside to the class. Our instructor JoJo did a marvelous job of explaining some of the history and uses of Kintsugi. It really was fascinating to experience the philosophy of rebirth and reuse. Like so many of the temples use the Phoenix as a symbol for rebirth, this class taught the practical side of the concept. From reassembling the broken dish to applying the gold, JoJo made it fun and informative. Highly recommend it to anyone - all ages!! instructor: Fun and interesting. experience: Very happy we made time for this!!

We had a great experience with this kimono rental service! As two friends visiting Kyoto, we booked the 10:00 AM slot and were a little concerned after reading some comments about it being crowded. While it was busy, it was much more organized than some reviews suggested, and everything ran smoothly. Visitors should expect the full process (choosing a kimono, getting dressed, selecting accessories, and having their hairstyle done) to take around 1 hour, especially during busy times. We felt this was completely reasonable given everything that is included. My friend wanted to wear a men's kimono, and the staff were very accommodating. Although her first color choice was unavailable in her size, they quickly suggested an alternative that she was very happy with. They were also able to do a hairstyle with my short hair, which I really appreciated. A special thank you to the staff member who seemed to be in charge. She was very efficient and gave excellent advice throughout the process.

Experience: 2/10 We were lucky that the costume team was quick and professional. They didn't try to push sales and offered the best advice, letting us change into the most harmonious kimonos. We were finished, with the whole family dressed and made up, in less than an hour. When we were taking family photos, it had snowed the night before, and when we were shooting at 10 a.m., it was lightly flurrying with graupel. The photographer said that in the almost 10 years he's been shooting the same scene, it was the first time he'd seen it with snow, and just the right amount of snowflakes falling. The photographer was very professional and gave us some pointers on how to pose for the photos, giving us many beautiful pictures.

We had such an amazing experience during our Kyoto photoshoot. From the beginning, Mr. Kai made us feel comfortable and guided us naturally through every pose, which helped us enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the camera. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful — every shot captured the atmosphere of Kyoto, the details of our outfits, and the emotions of the day perfectly.

An adorable staff and all very attentive, magnificent kimonos (including one with cat designs), an incredible hairstyle in just a few minutes. Well worth the price even if you don't keep the kimono all day, even if you find something a little cheaper elsewhere I advise you to come here to take your most beautiful photos.

It was our very first time trying on a kimono, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The process of selecting the perfect kimono was enjoyable and thoughtfully guided, making it easy and fun even for beginners like us. What truly stood out was the attention to detail—not only in helping us choose the right patterns and colors, but also in the careful styling of our hair and the coordination of accessories to complete the look beautifully. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, which made the experience feel both special and memorable. We felt completely taken care of throughout, and it really added to our appreciation of traditional Japanese culture. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in trying on a kimono for the first time or simply wants to enjoy a unique and elegant cultural activity ✨👏🏻
