The Kuge's are a kind, patient and funny couple. They are very intuitive when you ask them questions. Mrs Kuge says many Japanese do not even know about kintsugi. There were 3 other students when we arrived. Two had been coming doing other projects and one had an expensive mug that broke. She wanted it repaired and found out about kintsugi and was there for the first time. Two of the students spoke English and was able to help explain and interpret but without them the Kuges would have eventually been able to understand and explain. The process takes 2-3 hours to complete while we converse, work, have cake and coffee and laugh. The studio is tiny but very comfortable. There are many examples of their work to inspire you and they are so beautiful. They show you everything you need and the process to repair and paint the gold on. My piece had 2 very small chips and a small crack but my son has 3 chips and a significant crack. If I had known what I should be looking for I would have chosen something with more damage rather than by the design on the piece. After the experience, on our way back to the hotel we stopped at Tokyu Hands and purchased the pigments and lacquer to do it at home. They have kits there but the kits include flammable liquids that would not pass inspection to bring on a plane. They have two types of lacquer and one of them is not flammable.
I highly recommend this experience, especially if you enjoy working such your hands, if you have any artistic bent or want to learn a traditional but disappearing art form.

I was the only guy in the room! Why did it felt like I'm the only one who tried to wear it that day, haha! But I guess it's not a bad thing? :D Wearing the Kimono in public feels a little bit awkward at first, but as we go on, it feels fine. Maybe one of the most unforgettable experiences I had :)

I didn't enjoy this tour. I didn't expect that I had to strip off my clothes in a space (with just a cloth as a door) with other strangers. Wearing the kimono was uncomfortable. It was heavy and complicated to wear (and take off). That particular day was also hot, so I was all sweaty and uneasy while walking outside. Good thing about this tour was the friendly staff at the Sakura Photo Studio.
We appreciate customers who let us know when things are not right. We are sorry you did not feel good with wearing kimono. Kimono is traditional wear that people need to put those in patience because of process to wear and with lots of layer clothes sometimes. Lots of people understand that. We are sorry for dressing room curtain. Extreme expression, `you had to strip off with other guests`? We never treat customers like that, anyways. We let our staff this issue notice as a serious warning if some of our staff treat you like that.

It was a great experience, my mum loved it!! I am glad our booking was early as by the time we came back it was a little but hectic. Also, they need to put signs out or something more visual out so people can find the shop. We caught a cab, as we were running late, but if we caught public transport we would be really lost.

UKから親戚が初来日ということで、絶対に外せない着物体験を予約。当日急遽予約時間の変更をお願いしましたが、フレキシブルに対応いただきとても助かりました。GWのためかなり混みあっていましたが、スタッフの皆さん手際がよく、さほど待つこともなく着付け・ヘアメイクが終了。
一番安いベーシックプランでも思ったより選べる着物が多く、お気に入りの一枚がきっと見つかるでしょう。親戚は白色×花柄を選択。浅草散策では色々な方に「かわいい!」「Awesome!」と声をかけてもらえ、嬉しそうでした。
大切な親戚にとても喜んでもらえて本当に良かったです。また機会がありましたら宜しくお願いします。
楽しんでいただけて何よりです。またのお越しをぜひお待ちいたしております。

We went on a Sunday afternoon to do a Kintsugi class. This couple of teachers were available. The class is very instructive and we could work on the pottery we brought. This art of mending broken things is very ancient and it appealed to so this classes. We were very happy and it took us two hours to go through all the process ad glueing and patching. We were invited tea, cheesecake and a Japanese watermelon! We would be very pleased if we did more classes with them, but unfortunately, we have to leave in a few more days! Thanks, Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro

Truly completed the Japanese experience. We learned the different parts of a kimono, wrapping, tying, layering, and folding. The best part was walking around Nihonbashi and bumping into locals who were also in their gorgeous kimonos. Highly recommended
Dear Abby,
Thank you for joing us, and we are very glad that you fully enjoyed KIMONO experience. As you mentioned, KIMONO is very unique and traditional costume which has long history at the same time some people still wear daily. If you have a chance, please come and visit us again on Summer, as we have summer time kimono called "YUKATA" which is made of cotton and very beautiful as well.

Great experience, would highly recommend. Person was very patient with our questions, and let our girls make their own tea when they wanted to try. Only drawback is it is a little hard to find. Go to the Higashi-Ginza station, and exit A3. Turn right, walk past the theater, and then find the elevators BEFORE the coffee shop on the corner. They are not very obvious. It is on the same block as the Kabuki-za tower, but not actually in the tower. Well worth the effort to find the place.

The Kuges were so genuinely warm and inviting! Regrettably we had been a bit lost and arrived a few minutes late to the class. They were very forgiving and welcomed us into their creative space with a light snack and coffee. The studio was small and charming, and had shelves full of sculptures and pottery of all sizes. They showed us a few of their pieces and explained what we were going to do that day. They spoke English fairly well and were able to explain the steps easily. The atmosphere was casual and we were able to take the time to enjoy their company. We didn't feel rushed at all. Our finished pieces were carefully packed in plastic containers which we'd like to add, made it back to the U.S. safely! We had a delightful afternoon with the Kuges and were so excited by our new skill that we stopped by a nearby Tokyu Hands right after class to buy supplies to do our own Kintsugi at home! Overall, it was an enjoyable cultural experience! We highly recommend Kintsugi and Kuge Crafts as a way to experience a bit of Japanese culture outside of the common tourist hotspots.

休日に1日だけ浴衣を着たいと思って申し込みました。
場所は浅草のど真ん中ではないのですが、その分静かで落ち着いた場所にある、とっても雰囲気がいいところでした。他のお客さんでガヤガヤせず、ゆっくり選べたので自分にはすごく良かったです。
オーナーさんはとても和装にお詳しく、浴衣の選び方からマナーまで、いろいろ相談にのって頂きました。最初に数点セレクトしていただいたのですが、どれも自分に合っていて驚きました。和装は「季節外れや場違いなセレクトをしてないだろうか?」という不安がいつもあるのですが、そこもオーナーさんにちゃんと見てもらえたので安心でした。
残念ながら大雨で予定時間まで着られなかったのですが、次もまたお願いしたいと思いました。

浅草散策のため、江戸らしい着物を選びました。
着物で心配なのが、帯や小物との色合いですが、こちらもプロのアドバイスが受けられるので安心です。アドバイスも、「これこれでなくてはいけない」という制限らしいのではなく、基本的には好きなものを好きなように、という感じでとても良かったです。フォーマルランチ等でまた利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

I scheduled our appointment for the very first of the day and was so glad that I did. We were the only ones there and had our pick of so many kimonos that I almost couldn't decide which one to wear. When we came back to return our kimonos, the studio was full with three or four people. The woman who runs the place speaks good english and was so sweet and delightful. She made the whole experience of picking out our kimonos and dressing so much fun. The best part was getting to walk around Tokyo in our kimonos. At first we were a little anxious, because we seemed to be getting a lot of looks. The Japanese people seemed to get a kick out of seeing foreigners dressed in kimonos as they'd mostly smile and do the little nod bow thing. We walked from the studio to Nakamise shopping street and Sensoji shrine. By the time we'd gotten through those two sight seeing places we started to see a lot of other people dressed in kimonos. As we saw the other people in kimonos, I realized how much nicer the Sakura studio dressing experience was than all the others as we looked way better than everyone else we saw. My husband had the kimono top with the hakama pants on and the kimono jacket over top. The other men I saw had just the kimono and jacket, no pants. It could have been a choice on their part, I'm not sure, but I thought the pants looked better. My obi was an actual obi that the woman tied into a really cool knot and added a second accent pre-tied knot that made it look really cool. The other women I saw walking around had only a pretty poor looking pre-tied obi on. We also got to pick out Zori sandals and a kimono purse to go with our kimonos. I was also surprised at how warm the whole getup was. It was around 50 degrees outside the whole day but I wasn't cold at all, and I usually get cold very easily. Overall, I would recommend this activity, and I would definitely recommend the Sakura Studio.
Hello, Roxie
Thank you very much for such a great compliments!
We were really happy and honor to have you two over here at our studio.

This was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived at the tea house to the moment we left, every detail was delightful. The woman who does the ceremony (I can't remember her name :( ) was very polite and dressed in a kimono. She greeted us at the entrance and then showed us a short and very educational video about Matcha (tea) and the history and proper etiquette of a tea ceremony. We entered into the tea house after washing our hands in a small garden set on the balcony and began the tea ceremony. We were served delicious traditional sweets that were chosen in accordance with the season and watched as the tea master performed the tea ceremony. It was an incredibly calming and pleasant experience. After, we were invited to make our own cup of tea, which we did, but it was not as tasty as when the master did it! We could tell that she knew what she was doing and had been doing this for a very long time. She spoke good english and told us that she had been a tea ceremony master for 30 years. Her mother was a tea ceremony teacher for 50 years! We did the private tea ceremony for my husband and I and it was well worth the few extra dollars we paid. It lasted for about 30 minutes, but I think we might have drank the tea faster than we were supposed to lol! We were allowed to take as many pictures as we wanted during the ceremony, but we were too caught in the beauty of the experience to take any until afterwards.
I would absolutely recommend this activity to anyone thinking about doing it in the Tokyo area. From beginning to end, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We even bought some of the Matcha from the master before we left, which was nice that she had it for sale. She also had other various necessities (cups, wisps, other serving things) for sale.
Dear Roxie,
I'm Rie.
Thank you for your review.
Thank you very much for visiting Ginza Chazen.
I hope you enjoyed Tea ceremony experience.
I am glad if your Tea ceremony, one of the Japanese traditional culture,
experience become something pleasant to look back on.
I'm sincerely hope to see you again.
Chazen will be with you anywhere around the world.
Bring a smile with a bowl of tea.
Thank you and best regards,
Ginza Chazen
