We all had lots of fun - We had Nao as our instructor and she was great! Thank you for making our stay in Beppu memorable. Fun for the whole family. We also enjoyed the Halloween special mocha with ghosts.

First bamboo and lanterns made!! - The instructions were polite and easy to understand.
I made it a cat face. I should have drilled a bigger hole.
Well, that's a good first job.
If you make a picture that is wide because you cut holes in the curved surface, the hole at the end will face the other direction when viewed from the front, so you may find it better when you have a portrait picture.
I forgot about the Polaroid paper and the time it takes to get to the port, so I didn't get my photo taken, so I put it here.
Be careful when going by car, as there are many one-way streets when the road to the store is narrow.

Great experience in Beppu!! - Enjoyed a solo experience, which would have also been great with others, making a bamboo lantern. The staff was very friendly and spoke English. I wanted an experience that would give me time to decompress and have solo time before a work obligation started. This was perfect!!!

MUST MUST do! Even if its not this particular class, just see the space. - I cannot rave about this experience highly enough! We arrived early and were warmly welcomed by Loi, and the room was already prepared. He gave us an insight to the background of the Bamboo industry and history. We started our class and had so much fun. Very happy with a handmade souvenir. After, we were given an understanding of the Space Beppu "heart". A safe space for people to come. Read, chat, create, share a cuppa or a beer. It was quite beautiful. We were shown through the artist showrooms with an insight to their creations too. What we thought was going to be an hour visit, turned easily into 2 and leaving with several original pieces. The artist I purchased from even came to hand deliver! A perfect memory of my trip to Japan X

Bamboo lantern momento - I was very appreciative of the help Niko gave in making the bamboo lantern. She explained the bamboo industry is diminishing, a craft project will help a little.
