Okinawa Prefecture Ateliere

The workshop helps you slow down and see as much as possible amidst all the hustle and bustle. The two instructors are very caring, and the little bowls are simply beautiful.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately my paint tube was almost empty at first, which made painting difficult, but after I asked the staff refilled it and it became easier. We could choose between a deep blue glass color or a red one. Some of the paint came out more easily, some was rather difficult. You don't interact much with the staff, you can always ask if you need anything but normally you're left to your own to paint in peace.

Location: The room was nice and beautifully decorated. Activity: Very fun, used coral to paint beautiful shirts. Equipment: Good equipment, with a variety of stencils. Safety: Very safe. Instructor: 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 steroid of the way. There best part usd that each piece is unique and we get to keep them as a momento 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.
