Very fun and unique creative experience. Kazuki explained everything very well and gave us some great design ideas which helped a lot. The process was well explained and we managed it well. The extra side carving experience was also lovely. Loved the experience and we got a creative Japanese memory and souvenir to take back with us
We had such a fun time making our own stamps! The experience was really unique and a nice change from the usual sightseeing. Everything was explained clearly, and it was fun getting creative and making something personal to take home. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Definitely a lovely little activity and a great souvenir from our trip! We also learned a bit about the history of Kanji and Stamps in Japan.
What a fun way to experience Osaka! I loved learning about the history behind stamps in Japan and the materials we were going to use before being guided through the carving process. The instructor was kind and knowledgeable and helped give me some ideas and options for what I could carve. All the materials were ready to go so I could just sit down and start! I love having a souvenir I made to take home with me.
The Stamp Making Experience was fantastic! Gwen was very friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She gave us a brief history lesson about Hanko, which was interesting and highlighted the cultural significance of what we were about to craft. With her guidance, we translated our names into kanji and carved them into our soapstone blocks. We had a fabulous time and absolutely love our unique souvenirs! No experience is required.
incredible process and Kazuki was incredibly helpful during the entire process and helped out any time we needed! it was a lot of fun for me and my girlfriend to do and this will for sure sit as a highlight for our trip!
This was such a fun experience and it was totally beginners friendly! The staff is with you every step of the way, you never feel like you don't have support. They are super patient and friendly. Totally recommend this experience if you are in the Osaka area!
Masaki was a great guide through this very enjoyable workshop. My daughter and I have been collecting Eki stamps across Japan and to have the chance to make a personalised stamp of our own was a lot of fun. Arigato, Masaki! We would recommend this for value for money!
