Osaka Cultural experiences

My second-grade son recently became interested in sumo, so we booked a sumo experience and visited. It was close to the station and easy to find. Mr. Ryu and Mr. Kai's demonstrations were excellent, and the explanation of sumo history was very informative. My son absolutely loved the chance to compete against the sumo wrestlers at the end! He was the only child among the participants, and they raised his hand as the champion at the end, which made him incredibly happy! :) There were many foreigners, so the explanations were given in fluent English. However, as a Korean who is more comfortable with Japanese than English, I thought it would be great if the historical explanations were also available in other languages, like Korean, or even just in Japanese! Anyway, we had a wonderful time, and it was a valuable experience that was well worth the money! :)

Directions to studio were exactly as pictured, very warm welcoming and well stocked store. I felt as a princess being guided to all the stations and being dressed up. Photographer was awesome and got the best spots even tho it was a rainy day. Definitely 10/10 recommend! instructor: Amazing experience:Amazing location:Central

What a wonderful experience. I am so glad we upgraded to the photo shoot because we wouldn’t have been able to take such nice pictures ourselves with no one around in the background. Also thank you so much to Lee for the amazing posing ideas, a memory I will cherish forever 🌺🌹😌

My old coin was easily transformed into a beautiful ring! I made some wonderful memories in Osaka. I participated with my mother, as we always do, and the staff kindly taught us how to make the rings, so we were able to create truly lovely pieces. In addition to ring making, they also offer workshops for chopstick making and Kintsugi (the art of repairing pottery with gold), so I think there are many things to enjoy. The shop was newly opened, bright, and clean, located on the 8th floor of a building with great views, including the Kabuki-za theater. It was a wonderful spot. It was also conveniently located near Namba and Shinsaibashi, making it great for sightseeing. I had no idea there was such a fantastic workshop in Osaka. I highly recommend it to everyone. Next time, I'd like to try Kintsugi. The prices were also very reasonable.

We absolutely loved it! We went as a family, and it was so engaging and fun! The kids were thrilled, and my husband and I were too! I'd like to give a special shout-out to the wonderful female hosts; they were fantastic, pleasant, and had a great sense of humor! Thank you and good luck!

We had a great experience making our chopsticks. The only point with fewer stars is the price. Our booking included one type of wood. If you want one of the other four, you have to pay extra: two pieces for 2000 Yen each, and two more for 4000 Yen each. We found that quite expensive. Otherwise: super nice staff who are very happy to help. Thanks for the great souvenir.

A joyful evening! The show was lasted around 1 hour. A drink and snack were provided to each audience. The staff and Rikishi were all very considerate, passionate and friendly. The program gave the audience a simple introduction to sumo history and rules, featured sumo performances, and even offered the opportunity to interact with the Rikishi. It was surprised that they escorted each participant to the exit when the show finished. It was really a wonderful and amazing experience!

My daughters wanted to wear kimonos, so after searching, we came to Lei Shinsaibashi. I booked it right away because it had good reviews and was a great value on Klook. The kimonos were so beautiful that my children had a hard time choosing. The accessories, like hair ornaments and shoes, were all lovely, and the makeup area and fitting rooms were spacious and nice. The staff were also very kind and helpful. I'm satisfied and would definitely visit again. I highly recommend it! ^^
