Okinawa Prefecture Ateliere

We had a reservation this time, but we happened to encounter a typhoon. Upon arrival, we were a bit surprised, thinking the place might be closed because we hadn't received any postponement notifications and the official website hadn't been updated. Luckily, as we were about to leave, we met a staff member who kindly asked us to return in an hour. Although our schedule was delayed by an hour, the activity completely met our expectations! The coral dyeing craft was very interesting, and the staff's instruction and attitude were very friendly. Both adults and children had a wonderful time, especially the children, who were able to fully express their creativity and create unique pieces. Despite the minor hiccup, I highly recommend bringing children to experience this!

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.

This is a MUST have experience! Studio Nin Okinawa is where its at! The owner, Daiki, and his assistant do an amazing job of walking you step by step through the process. Small class sizes allow for chatting and questions. The studio space is just the right size and tidy. Your are provided all your equipmet and protective wear. There is a nice variety of knife styles to choose from as well as handles. They are great about taking pictures. This was definitely a dream experience for my 2 sons. I would 100% recommend Daiki and Studio Nin Okinawa!

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.

It was a very fun and calming experience! The view outside is also so beautiful!!

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.
