Prefeitura de Okinawa Workshops

The workshop slows down the desire to see as much as possible amidst all the hustle and bustle. The two course instructors are very caring, and the bowls simply look beautiful.

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Leider war meine Farbtube anfangs fast leer, was das Malen erschwerte, aber nachdem ich gefragt hatte, füllte das Personal sie nach und es wurde einfacher. Wir konnten zwischen einer tiefblauen Glasfarbe oder einer roten wählen. Manche Farben ließen sich leichter auftragen, andere waren eher schwierig. Man interagiert nicht viel mit dem Personal; man kann jederzeit fragen, wenn man etwas braucht, aber normalerweise wird man in Ruhe gelassen, um zu malen.

Location: The room was well-decorated and beautiful. Activities: Very enjoyable. Used coral to paint beautiful shirts. Equipment: Good equipment with a variety of stencils. Safety: Very safe. Instructor: Very good and easy to understand.

I did this experience with my two adult children. We had a fabulous time. The ladies were very helpful and guided us every step of the way. The best part is that each piece is unique and we get to keep them as a memento of this experience.

I had a really great time doing the Shisa painting activity. The lady who explained the process to me was very nice, the place was calm and I could paint at my own pace. It’s a fun indoor activity to do in Naha and I’d recommend doing it here.

Such a unique experience in Okinawa! I came by myself and the staff made me feel welcome from the start. The whole process was hands-on and really fun, from hammering the hot steel to shaping my own knife. The instructors explained everything clearly and helped whenever I needed it. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip, and I now have an awesome handmade knife to take home as a souvenir. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time making our Bingata pieces. The shop emailed very detailed directions to the parking which was very helpful. The owner was so accommodating and helpful with his instructions and provided examples for us to follow.
