Craft Workshops

Explanations were simple and clear. Helpers were polite. Results were satisfying.

Loved this workshop which was held in a very small group and super relaxed atmosphere and environment.
The technique was clearly explained and I came away feeling I had learned something that wetted my petite for more.... more
It's a perfect 'taster' session and you get to take an unusual souvenir home. Just loved it

This was the most calming and grounding experience, a total contradiction to a typical day in Tokyo. Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro welcome you into the small street facing studio with home made cake, local treats and freshly b... morerewed tea. Occasionally there is the odd call out from their cat that makes the experience so homely and real that you know you are getting a legitimate immersion into a part of Japanese art and culture.

The class is hands on and Yoshiko makes sure you leave with all the tools you need to keep practicing after you leave the class. She also gives you insights into Japanese culture that are inaccessible to the average visitor.

If you are someone who likes to get under the skin of a city or country, and you like to get off the tourist track to truly start to get your foot into the door of what a culture is about, this is the class for you.

We had a magnificent time with our instructor for the food class! He was instructive, patient, and made the experience the best it could be. You can really tell he loves what he does, and teaching people about it. If we ... moreever come back to Japan, we will definitely be taking another class.

I also want to note: these classes can be taken in English is need be. Our instructor apologized for his “bad English” - and then spoke perfect English the whole time. I was like “no- WE apologize for OUR bad Japanese >_<“

Great fun for all ages. I took my husband and his guy friend, and they loved it more than they thought. Just 10/10 experience.

My daughter and I had a great time making food samples. The guide was so nice and helpful.

The activity was super fun and interesting. I had a wonderful time and would recommend this activity to anyone!
