Reviews
spent a lovely 2 hours with Chiaki learning the art of Origami. Chiaki is very patient and gors through the process of making a kimono book, and a crane( my choice)
the pretty ladies were super sweet and gentle,they showed us nicely and step by step,it was a very elegant and beautiful experience,if i come in japan again i will visit here one more time for sure
We had a lovely experience with this activity for our whole family, including 5 kids. The instructors were patient and very expert in the craft! Once there, we had several options of what we could make, including bookmarks, dolls, notebook covers and other paper crafts. At the end, they taught us to make a paper crane! The instructors are so kind, and though their English is limited, this did not at all detract from the instruction. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time at the workshop! The instructors sweet and made the class so much fun. It was well-organized, and the materials provided were great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and creative experience!
It was a really lovely experience. Yuka and Ayumi were really patient throughout the process. We had a great time making and tasting sweet matcha tea and ice cream. We were given the opportunity to don on kimono too. It was a comprehensive experience of the Japan culture.
Lovely instructor, I had lots of fun there! Thank you 🩷
