Things to do in Rurikō-in Temple

The experience was fun for the whole family. It wasn't too difficult to shave the wood, even for my 8 yr old. We chose Sugi, Walnut, Sakura, and Purple Heart. Victor K. was very helpful, professional, and patient. He provided clear instructions and helpful hints to make the beautiful chopsticks. You can tell he truly enjoys the craft of making chopsticks. The personalized engraving was a fun extra we all loved.

Very fun and informative experience, the staff is friendly and helpful. The host is charismatic and the experience of watching a live sumo show is priceless!! Recommended!! By the way they include drinks so you can enjoy the show and not worry about those yourself

An absolute must see. We were running late for our entry time due to a family emergency but they still let us in and placed us with a group. Our tour guides Ara and Nana were a treat. the Ninja Star throwing was so much fun. highly recommend.

An incredible experience here today. From the reception, putting on the kimono, and also the ceremony. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Haruka was our ceremonialist and was very patient, explained everything about the type of room and the type of ceremony, and answered all our questions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Be adviced the location is incorrect on Klook. (Go to Zen-Kyoto Annex) Super fun experience otherwise! Our attendant Momoka helped us along the way and even gave use a little History about the art.

THIS WAS FANTASTIC! Not only was it affordable but it was funny, taught us so much and allowed my husband to step back into the ring even for a few seconds! An amazing time and I will definitely be recommending this experience to my clients and followers!

Ash and Wil guided us perfectly through this knife-making workshop. They demonstrated great knowledge of the technique and were attentive at every step to ensure our knives turned out perfectly. It was a wonderful activity and a lasting memory; now, every day when we cook, Japan will be in our thoughts.

My husband and I had a great experience! Dong was a great teacher and made our experience seamless and fun from start to finish. We will be recommending this experience to our friends visiting Kyoto in the future. Thank you Dong! :)

A little apprehensive, particularly my husband, but from the moment we arrived it was a truly wonderful experience. From choosing your kimono right down to the making of the matcha tea, everything was fun, precise, informative and professionally done. We couldn’t have wanted a better experience. I would recommend everyone do this.
