Reviews
One of the best experiences I had. Yuzen dye is such a complex and fascinating work of art, that only spending an hour or two there doesn't feel like it's enough. I would have loved to spend a whole week of internship to completely immerse myself in this work of art!! If you want a bit of history of Kyoto while also making some neat art, please go ahead and have the time of your life!! I loved the experience and I'll gladly come again!! 🥰
Such an amazing experience, we had a great time learning more information and seeing the process of Kyoto yuzen dying for kimono/obi. The location is a bit far but so worth it! We painted our own framed art—great personal souvenir. Would 100% do it again. So happy to support the local artisans.
A truly wonderful experience and one of the best memories from our trip - not just in Kyoto, but Japan. Amazing to see artisans at work and opportunity to try it for ourselves. Great for adults and kids. Don’t look any further, book this one. Highly recommend.
Great experience! Amazing to see the kimono making process and craft up close. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto.
