Workshop de trançado Kumihimo em um ateliê tradicional em Kyoto

I had such a lovely experience at the Kumihimo workshop! The workshop was very well explained and easy to follow, even as a beginner! :) I especially enjoyed being able to choose my own color combination and create a bracelet from scratch. It’s a beautiful way to experience a traditional Japanese craft in a hands-on way, and the finished bracelet makes a really special souvenir to take home. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole experience. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a unique and memorable activity in Kyoto! 😍

Very beautiful, meditative and informative experience. I’ve been there on my own and enjoyed it very much. I got teached very well and had a great hospitality. Would definitely do it again with friends one day! Only I would suggest that the colour pattern gets chosen from the customer , so that they can fully experience everything from the beginning.

This was a memorable experience with a brief history lesson. our instructor was very helpful and patient.

Awesome experience! my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and left feeling like we had learnt a lot. Both coordinators were very knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. would absolutely recommend!

excellent experience! Staff was very friendly and informative. The experience started with a brief history on the craft. then we got started on making our own. Our instructor guided us through the whole process and once you got the rhythm it was easy to just relax and braid. once we had made the right finished we were given tea and treats while they added the final touches.

What a wonderful experience! Andre was our instructor - he first walked us through the history of kumihimo braiding using the mini museum on the second floor of the building. Afterwards, he took us downstairs and taught us the process of braiding. It’s easy once you pick up the pattern, and I entered a near meditative state once I did. I ended up weaving the length of a bracelet, which then the staff worked on attaching the links while we sat down and enjoyed tea and sugar treats while enjoying the atmosphere of the inner garden. Overall, a very enjoyable and calm activity where you come away with a new skill and respect for what goes into these garments/braids. The location wan’t hard to find, and as of writing this review they’re a relatively new branch (only 3 months new). Their main branch is in Tokyo, and you’ve most likely seen footage from there on Instagram. Book today!

Thank you! Wonderfull master class! ❤️🧶🇯🇵
