Things to do in Kyu-Furukawa Gardens

It was a great experience. I got chopsticks that I made myself, and they turned out amazing. My boyfriend chose Sonokeling wood; it's hard, but he did a great job. I liked Yakusugi; it was my favorite type of wood from the first time I saw it.

my mom and I came here to get something to bring home as a souvenir that we could use and show off, and we did not regret it! the instructor Laura was very involved and patient with us, as it could be intimidating to deal with new equipment and we had to be careful to not break our rings in the process. I got a vintage coin from the Taisho era and it was a nice reminder of Japan. my mom got a vintage Singaporean coin from the 70s as it was nostalgic for her. both turned out comfortable and beautiful, we can't wait to show them off to our friends and family!

found this experience looking for things to do while staying in asakusa! thank you so much to mai and umar were so helpful and knowledgeable! definitely recommend 😊 also the building location is next to taito station if you have issues finding the address on google maps or apple maps!

Amazing experience. Rick is very calm and patient, an excellent tutor. This was honestly a really cool shake affordable experience and I have memories that will last forever from this... and a fancy new pair of chopsticks! 😁

We had the most amazing time! Very entertaining & we learnt a lot as well. Would highly recommend! The kids will be talking about this for a while! Thank you ☺️

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My husband and I had so much fun and it was one of our favorite things to do in Japan. Everyone was friendly, fun, and funny. I will definitely be doing this again in the future!

Strolling through Asakusa in Tokyo, time seems to slow down. This is where the modern, bustling city meets traditional Japanese culture most closely. And there's no better way to experience Asakusa than by donning an exquisite kimono. **The Starting Point for a Journey Through Time** Stepping out of the kimono rental shop today, the crisp "clack, clack" of wooden geta sandals announces the official beginning of Asakusa's classical romance. **Kaminarimon and Nakamise-dori: Through the Thunder Gate and Along the Bustling Path** Passing through the giant red lantern, you walk along the lively approach to the temple. Dressed in a colorful kimono with elegant patterns, holding a freshly baked ningyo-yaki, you'll find yourself effortlessly blending into this ukiyo-e scene, rich with Edo-period charm. **The Lingering Incense of Senso-ji Temple** Standing before the main hall, you join the crowd in wafting the fragrant smoke over yourself, praying for peace. At this moment, the wide sleeves of your kimono gently flutter in the breeze, creating a beautiful contrast with the surrounding vermilion carvings and painted structures. Every snapshot is a stunning view. A gentle breeze blows, smoothing the delicate folds of the kimono. Here, a kimono is more than just clothing; it's a passport to an immersive experience of traditional Japanese aesthetics. I want to use this elegant posture to create a warm and memorable time in Asakusa. **Location: Asakusa**

an absolute must in Japan!! I cannot express how much fun this experience was. everyone is so friendly and ensures everyone is enjoying themselves. our group did participate a lot, our muscle girl Row was sooo sweet and informative about the city as well!! by far the best thing we did in Japan!!

Just spent an amazing afternoon with Camille making 2 rings from coins. Camille was simply superb. She took care to help me choose the coins, then she walked me through the process of forming the ring. She took the time to explain every process and supervise me to make sure the piece is made to perfection. She paid extra attention while polishing the rings and the final product was just surreal. Overall would 100% recommend and if you’re ever there just ask for Camille!!
