Kumihimo-verksted i en historisk 370 år gammel flettebutikk i Tokyo

This was definitely worth it! We went on my husband's bday. It starts with a tour and history lesson, which we both enjoyed. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and there was no problems. After you make your bracelet they give you fresh matcha. I definitely wasn't to go back and do it again!

The kumihimo experience was a lovely and relaxing way to connect with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The setting was peaceful, and I enjoyed learning how to weave the beautiful braids by hand. The guide was informative, kind, and very helpful throughout the process. They explained the history and role of kumihimo in Japanese culture, and guided us step-by-step with patience and care. It was both a cultural and creative experience, and I’m so happy to take home a handmade souvenir with personal meaning. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something authentic and hands-on while in Japan!

I was initially hesitant to book this one, because it seemed a bit expensive compared to other experiences. But since I really wanted to try Kumihimo I gave it a try and it was absolutely worth it! The guide for the group i was in, was super nice and friendly. She gave a quite insightful introduction into the history of Kumihimo and explained in detail the different types and what they were originally used for. She was fluent in English, which made me more comfortable to ask questions (because normally I feel like I’m being disrespectful to the locals when I try to talk English instead of Japanese with them). The actual braiding part was also very nice and she was always happy to help. The actual product is high quality and overall the experience is definitely worth the money!

10/10 recommend! It's a true insight to an almost forgotten art. It's definitely beginner friendly and you'll have help all the way! We got a thorough explanation of the company and their background in Komihiko along with the general background of this art. After that we got to pick out a colour set and started braiding, time will absolutely fly. It's very relaxing and definitely for all ages and genders! You need to expierence this, it takes somewhere between 1-2 hours total it think? And you get a totally handmade one of a kind item

The perfect mix of learning about all the incredible history and craftsmanship that goes into kumihimo with practical experience making yourself :) the staff were fluent in english, friendly and super knowledgeable and helpful. I found working on my piece very meditative and soothing surrounded by the soothing sounds of wood. highly recommend

滿意！！ 地點：距離兩個地鐵站都不遠，用Google Maps搵地方，很方便 教練：導師先介紹繩結及間百年老舖嘅歷史，之後好有耐心教導繩結技巧，到掌握技巧後，幫我用相機拍片及影相。 體驗：不難上手，但就是要專心一啲，果然合適靜下心來嘅活動。後來我仲知道有另一款繩結體驗, 即時參加多一樣。

原本擔心會很困難，因為在編織方面不太擅長，但老師講解非常仔細且細心，沒幾次就上手了！教室空間明亮寬敞，講師英語講得很好，茶點好吃。非常謝謝這次的體驗🙏🏻（編織線繩是純蠶絲，質料很好！！） 體驗：非常棒

Was fortunate to be the only English speaking student, so I had a 1:1 teacher (Makiko-san) guiding me so patiently and clearly, showing me around their gallery, explaining the history, teaching me how to braid. The process of braiding is very therapeutic to me as one concentrates to remember the steps and can just forget about everything else. It was truly a wonderful experience and at the end of it there is little snacks too!

非常不错的体验。即使是手工小白也可以完美做好。短发小姐姐Yuki桑英语很好，而且很温柔，全程帮忙介绍和拍照。十二股线编起来很容易，而且配色都很好看。

My husband and I loved this experience. The staff was great and very welcoming. We are always looking for cultural tours when we travel and this was by far one of the best tours we have ever done!!
