金継ぎ教室一日体験大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術＜南阿佐ヶ谷＞by 手仕事屋久家

Superb experience!

Reviewed by: Colin

Amazing time at Kuge Krafts with the so kind and generous Kuge couple. Very intimate studio surrounded by pottery and perfect coffee and cake waiting for us upon arrival set the atmosphere. Excellent introduction to Kintsugi with the patient and encouraging advices from sensei which just make us wish we could come back for more or at least to try it again very soon at home! No doubt that I will brag about my amazing kintsugied sake glass at any occasion I get - yes you get to bring your piece of art back home.
Thank you, thank you and thank you,

PS: beware though that after that class you will want to voluntarily break any piece of ceramic you come across just for the excuse of having something to kintsugi...

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Fun and Unique - A must!

Reviewed by: Ellie

We had no idea what to expect for this experience but we were pleasantly surprised. We each made a plastic parfait and it was so much fun. Our teacher was super friendly and encouraging, and he spoke English well. It's a little bit out of the way from the centre of Tokyo, but worth the trip. Definitely give this a go if you have some spare time and want something unique.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Great experience and friendly staff, this is the place to go

Reviewed by: Kenton

Went with wife and mother. Very friendly staff. We were helped by a younger fellow who was very nice. No problem with the language barrier. Everyone had a good time. If you want to try your hand at making fake food, this is the place to visit. Afterward, they boxed our creations very securely so we can transport them safely home. It takes a day to cure, so try to give yourself time so it can survive the flight back.

Thanks for the great experience!

Half Day Scarf Hand Weaving Workshop in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo

Getting crafty

Reviewed by: ErinB

This was my first time looming and I loved it. You are free to choose your colors and to explore the art of Saori weaving through gentle guidance and your own creative urges. I was so happy with the way my scarf turned out and can't wait to wear it. I would definitely take another class to see where looming might take me next.

Half Day Scarf Hand Weaving Workshop in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo

Come to Jota - you will learn a lot!

Reviewed by: Becky

I had a fantastic time at my very first trip to Jota Studio for the scarf weaving course. I had never touched a loom. I am not particularly crafty, but by the end of four hours, I knew how to thread my own loom and use it all on my own to make a 180 cm scarf that I will certainly be wearing. The lesson was all in Japanese, but non-English speakers should be able to figure it out. Please bring your own lunch or be prepared to go out and buy something in the middle of the lesson. Only tea was served during the four hours and I got very hungry. Apart from that, I also have my own scarf. Thank you, Jota! I'll be coming back!

A wonderful day

Reviewed by: Vanessa

The staff there is very nice, friendly, patient and helpful. The workshop is also very interesting with detailed explanations. They always try to let you participate in as many steps as possible. Also, they pack your lovely food samples with good care. I am particularly impressed by how firendly and helpful our workshop tutor is - he tells us how to get to the nearest station in the most convenient and cheapest way with a printed map, and immediately looks for and recommends me a great udon shop when we tell him we would like to have udon as our lunch. He also speaks slowly to pander to my standard of Japanese. We really enjoy chatting with him much :)! It is definitely one of the most remarkable and marvelous memories throughout our journey. They are undoubtedly the loveliest people I have ever met in Tokyo. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful day in Tokyo.

Informative and Fun

Reviewed by: Jamie

This was a great experience for us. The owner taught us so much about the history of fake food making, which was really interesting. Making the parfait was also easy with the instructions and quite a lot of fun. Finding this place was a bit of trouble, since Google Maps took us to the wrong location, so if following GPS, be careful of where it leads you. The English was not too bad at this place, so it is okay if you don't understand Japanese and the booking is in English too. Strongly recommended as price was good value.

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa

Do this when in Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Meg

This was again a very tricky place to find, but in a tiny studio there were 6 stations to work at and 6 students. We were given samples to look at and choose from. It was very tricky, but very doable if you choose something simple. Downstairs was a gallery of glass work that was incredible. Very awesome and well run class. Our instructor spoke English!

This was very cool- There were 6 of us and we each had our own station to work at.
Not too bad for my first shot!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Great fun for the whole family...beautiful self-made souvenirs

Reviewed by: B Lau

It was a wonderful experience for our family! The booking process on Veltra was straight forward and most importantly, in English. We decided to make mini ice cream sundaes as they were small and easy to bring home. We received the confirmation email on the very same day. On the actual day, the train line that we needed to take was down due to passenger injury. Thus we needed to change 5 different JR and metro lines to get to the place, instead of the original 2. We called Yamato sample workshop to inform them and they were very kind to wait for us. When we finally made our way there, we were pleasantly surprised that the instructor could speak English quite well. We could customised our sundaes by picking the colour and "fruits"we wanted. The instructor guided us step-by-step, and we found it really easy to follow his instructions. We were so proud of our own creation! If we were to visit Tokyo again, we would like to try own hands at making either a bowl of ramen or tempura prawns with lettuce. :)

Half Day Scarf Hand Weaving Workshop in Trendy Kichijoji

Fantastic workshop!

Reviewed by: Lara

The weaving workshop at Studio Jota was excellent. The helpers were kind and patient with my non-existent Japanese. The weaving technique is easy to pick-up (regardless of language barriers) which meant it was possible to work quite independently and weave a scarf to take home with me (though I think I'll use it as a wall hanging).

The studio itself is beautiful and located in a charming part of Tokyo which I enjoyed exploring after the session. Highly recommended for textile enthusiasts who would like to get away from more touristy activities.

Glass Engraving with Sand Blasting Lesson in Ichigaya

A memorable and purposeful experience

Reviewed by: Ng Chee Keong

I am a fan of crafts and related workshops. In this Japan trip alone, I have taken up 3 workshops (including this Glass Sand Blasting Experience).

Among the 3, this has given me the most satisfaction, since efforts has been the most demanding. Under the guidance of the sweet mentor, I went through the process of planning, designing, sand blasting and cleaning of the product – all by myself.

Besides satisfaction, the knowledge gained is another plus. There was no pressure and the mentor has been patience and helpful. Will definitely visit again in my next trip! And recommending others to it too!!

Pros: A patient, seasoned mentor, Learning experience that is uncommon back home, a wonderful product to bring home.

Cons: Location (may be slightly challenging to find), slight communication gap.

Reviewed by: Rachel

What a wonderful experience! I really enjoyed my afternoon with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko Kuge, who patiently taught me the basics of Kintsugi over coffee and cake. Even with my limited knowledge in Japanese, the Kuges spoke enough English to clearly explain each step to me. During the lesson, we chatted about other Torontonians who have crossed paths with the Kuges, which was pretty funny. Overall, a really lovely workshop and highly recommended for those looking to do something special and unique!
