Okinawa Prefecture සංස්කෘතික අත්දැකීම්

The shop is located inside Makishi Market. Take the stairs from the 1st-floor entrance to the 2nd-floor shop, and just show your reservation confirmation. You'll need to take off your shoes at the entrance and put them in a plastic bag. You'll also be given a large bag for your personal belongings (and a numbered wristband to wear). Any food or drinks should be placed separately on a small table inside the door. Please remember to keep an eye on your belongings, as I left the Chinsuko I bought at Shuri Castle in the shop and forgot to take it with me. By the time I remembered, it was the next day, and it was the shop's day off on Sunday, so I had to leave it for them (cries). This shop is very popular. I arrived on time for my reservation, and there were already at least 4 to 5 Chinese girls getting dressed or waiting in line. It took about 30 to 40 minutes for my turn. I recommend booking the earliest slot if possible to avoid waiting in line and to ensure you get to choose the outer and inner garments you want before others pick them! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Even though they were extremely busy, they patiently discussed what hairstyle you wanted and what obi (belt) style you preferred. They also helped take photos when they had a moment. The service includes hairstyling and dressing (you can choose between a kimono or Ryukyu dress), but not makeup. Two-toed socks are provided. For the Ryukyu dress, you choose the outer and inner garments separately. You change out of your own clothes in a small changing room, put on the nude-colored bodysuit provided by the shop, and then wait in line for hairstyling and dressing. You can also choose your own hair accessories. Finally, after taking all your photos and taking off the Ryukyu dress, you don't have to undo your hairstyle. The shop even gives you a small hair tie as a gift (you can choose the design). This was truly an interesting experience and highly recommended!

මම මෙය සැමටම බෙහෙවින් නිර්දේශ කරමි! මගේ ගමන් සැලසුම් වෙනස් වූ නිසා මම ඔවුන්ට කරදර කළා, නමුත් නැන්දා කෙනෙක් ඉතා උනන්දුවෙන් මට තොරතුරු සොයා ගැනීමට උදව් කළා. ඔවුන්ගේ ඉංග්‍රීසි එතරම් හොඳ නැති වුවත්, ඔවුන් පරිවර්තන යන්ත්‍රයක් භාවිතා කරමින් මා සමඟ සන්නිවේදනය කිරීමට උත්සාහ කළා. මගේ ඉදිරි ගමන් සැලසුම්වලට බලපෑමක් වේවිද කියා ඔවුන් කනස්සල්ලට පත් වුණා. අවසානයේදී, ඔවුන් මගේ වේලාව වෙනස් කිරීමට උදව් කළා. එදින අධික වර්ෂාවක් තිබුණා, ඔවුන් මගේ සපත්තු වායු සමීකරණය යටතේ වියළීමට පවා තැබුවා! ඔවුන් ඉතා අවධානයෙන්, සැලකිලිමත් වූ අතර, මට විශාල චිත්තවේගීය වටිනාකමක් ලබා දුන්නා. ඔවුන් ස්වේච්ඡාවෙන් මගේ ඡායාරූප ගත්තා, මට කුඩා තෑගි පවා දුන්නා. මට ඇත්තටම සතුටක් දැනුණා, මම සුවපත් වුණා. තවත් බොහෝ දෙනෙක් ඔවුන් ගැන දැනගන්නවාට මම කැමතියි.

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.

ඡායාරූප ශිල්පියා නියමිත වේලාවට පැමිණි අතර, අපට අවශ්‍ය ස්ථානයේදී හමුවී වහාම ඡායාරූප ගැනීම ආරම්භ කළා. මම කැමති ශෛලිය ගැන කලින් විමසා තිබූ නිසා, මට අවශ්‍ය ඡායාරූප ගැන ඔහුට හොඳ අවබෝධයක් තිබුණා. එය ඉතා කාර්යක්ෂම වුණා. Keiya-san මාව දිරිමත් කළ නිසා මගේ විශ්වාසය වැඩි වුණා. ඡායාරූප ගැන මම ඉතා සතුටුයි, එය ඉතා ප්‍රසන්න අත්දැකීමක්.

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.
