落語、太神楽、和妻！インターナショナルな雰囲気で楽しむ寄席エンターテイメントが神田明神に登場 by 明神笑楽座＜インバウンド対応あり/ミニギフト付/催行日限定＞

神田明神の参拝と一緒に文化体験⭐︎

Reviewed by: tepopo

インターナショナルな雰囲気でした！落語・太神楽・和妻初心者の私（日本人）にとっても解説が丁寧で、分かりやすく楽しめました♪
観たり聞いたりするだけでなく、実際に小物を使って体験できるので良い経験になります⭐︎小物はお土産に持って帰れたので、帰って主人に披露しました(^.^)
海外の友人が日本に来た際に神田明神に参拝するのと一緒に参加するのも良いなと思いました！

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

Wonderful!

Reviewed by: Chloe

My husband and I wanted to do a more hands-on activity during our trip to Tokyo amongst sightseeing and the other food/drink-focused experiences. It was the perfect addition to our itinerary!

Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We were greeted with a beautifully presented and delicious snack complete with refreshing homemade lemon tea which warmed our introduction and set the tone for the quality experience to come.

The entire workshop was informative and fun from start to finish. We were guided through each step in detail and were provided with interesting facts about the craft and the materials we were working with along the way.

We were gifted with instructions to take home for future reference and supplemented with a list of the tools used in the workshop so that we could continue to practice at home.

We originally sent an email to make our booking and the reply was prompt and personable. We were redirected to the booking page on Veltra and the process was easy and simple.

The directions to Kuge Crafts provided with the booking confirmation were clear and helpful.

We cannot underline the kindness and sincerity of the hosts enough. This was a highlight of our time in Tokyo and will remain one of our fondest memories. Thank you, Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro!

京都高雄 もみぢ家　川床ディナープラン 納涼川床料理＋舞妓さんの京舞鑑賞日あり（2024/7/1～2024/9/22）＜川床席確約／送迎あり／高雄＞

お料理、川床、舞妓さん全て最高でした！

Reviewed by: 国内旅行初心者

海外からの親戚が来日。初めての京都ということで、何か特別な思い出になれば、と申し込みました。同行する私と子供は５ヶ月前に京都旅行をしたばかり。。私たちにとっても普通の京都旅行では経験しないことを、と思い、夏ということもあり、川床の夕食にしました。夏に京都に行くなら川床にいきたい、と常々おもっていました。舞妓さんにも会える日程ということで、親戚にはどんな夕食か詳しく説明せず、サプライズにしました。
選んだすき焼きはボリュームたっぷり。お肉も柔らかく美味しい。川床も涼しく、虫の声が涼しげ。川面に写る提灯も情緒たっぷり。そして可愛らしい舞妓さんがにこやかに応対してくれ、写真もたくさんとらせていただきました。スタッフのかたも写真を撮ってくれたり、お茶などのおかわりも、すぐ快く対応してくれました。バスの運転手さんもとても愛想のいいかたでした。外国人の親戚にも、子供にも大好評で、大正解でした。舞妓さんの踊りを間近で見ることができ、素敵な思い出になりました。またぜひ行きたいです！

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Fun and unique experience

Reviewed by: Sabine

After reading the excellent reviews I had to book this activity for me and my 16-year-old son (mid July 2023) and I have to agree with the other reviewers: it was a lot of fun and a unique experience. The instructor was really nice and helpful, he explained everything to us in English and was very patient and supportive. We had time to choose our "ingredients" and both our ice cream sundaes turned out really well. Due to the perfect packaging we brought them back home safely. We highly recommend trying it yourself!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Sarah

I've always wanted to make one of these food samples, and was happy to find this opportunity using the Chika Toku (extra value) system from the Tokyo Metro pass. Although the explanation was in Japanese, the staff made sure I understood what to do and even showed me exactly how to proceed. It was a wonderful experience and a fun way to spend a couple hours.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: DadAndDaughter

The activity was a ton of fun! Me and my 7 year old attended, the instructor was very helpful and friendly with both of us and provided clear guidance and explanations. Our instructor's English was quite capable, and used a translation app to bridge the gap. As for the food samples themselves it was a lot of fun, easy to understand, and the results are super realistic! Great souvenirs!

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

Amazing one-day kintsugi experience

Reviewed by: Melissa

I have been intrigued by kintsugi philosophy in the last few years and was thrilled to find this one-day workshop that enabled me to get some hands-on experience with the process. Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were so kind and welcoming, making sure I understood each piece of the process and answering questions patiently and thoughtfully. Yoshiko took photos throughout the workshop and emailed them to me later (so grateful as I attended as a solo traveler), and Yoshiichiro wrote out my name in kanji so I could sign my cup in Japanese -- so cool! They even made sure I knew where I could purchase my own kintsugi materials here in Tokyo in case I wanted to try it at home on my own. At the end of the workshop, they packaged up my cup to ensure it will safely make the journey back home in my suitcase. I cannot say enough good things about this experience and its incredible facilitators-- this afternoon will remain of my most treasured memories from my time in Japan.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Jessica

This was a wonderful hands-on experience in which you learn from two masters the craft of mending broken things. You are served tea and snacks to begin, then you get to choose an antique item to repair. You are guided step by step through the process and you end up with a functional and beautiful piece of your own to take home. highly recommend even if you don't think of yourself as crafty.

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

A therapeutic and interesting way to learn about Japanese culture

Reviewed by: Ryan

While the shop is a little out of the way (about a 15 minute walk from the nearest train station), it's 100% worth it. The people working and hosting you treat you like family and teach you about Kintsugi in an easy to understand way. And yes at least one of them knows English so that's not an issue. The shop is small but homey and the activity itself is very calming. Coming from someone who is not only bad at art but actively dislikes it, I plan to do this again when I come back to Japan. It will take anywhere from 2-3 hours total so keep that in mind. If you are on the fence about this, please do it. The people are lovely and you get to create and keep a unique souvenir all while learning a little bit about the Japanese culture, well worth it.

めっちゃ楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: なんこ

場所は一瞬通り過ぎてもおかしくないくらいの所でしたけど、お店の方がお出迎えしてくれてたのでわかりました。１階がお店で2階で体験させて貰いましたが、平日の昼間で参加者が少なかった事もあり、ゆっくり丁寧に教えて貰いました。練習もそうですけど、デザインとかグラス選びも焦らされることもなくアドバイスだけ頂けてやりやすかったです。
初めての体験で自分の技術では、やっぱり思ったようなデザインにできないかもとか思いましたし、途中少し失敗もしましたが、修正を先生に頼んだら、私のミスも何とかごまかせました。
近くで見たら色々気になる所もありますが、初めてにしては結構納得できるものができたし、機会があればまたやってみたいです。

This was a great experience for crafters of all ages. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their materials, and very receptive to be asked about procedures. There's a tablet with Google Translate available on-hand to help move through any language bumps, and staff was incredibly accommodating towards all levels of Japanese proficiency.
