A fun and unique experience - Ran by a very kind and informative instructor. Very straightforward process that's easy to understand while producing a memorable souvenir that'll last. If you pay attention you might even learn a fun skill that you can try to replicate at home. All the information for this is freely given during this event. Would recommend for small groups or an individual.

Such a fun activity! Wonderful host who gave a little history and walked us thru an easy enjoyable learning experience! - Really enjoyed the hour and half here! The host was a kind well articulated gentleman who gave an easily digestible history of the kintsugi art form before letting us try out a version of it made to finish something in less than an hour (versus months in the real kintsugi art form). The hosts helped in the more difficult aspect (cleaning, sanding, packing) and allowed us to do the easy gluing parts and fun/creative painting parts! Highly recommend for an enjoyable quiet short activity!

Fun, and informative kintsugi workshop! - My Wife and I did this as a memorable souvenir while on our honeymoon in Japan! It was a very fun workshop, learning the basics of Kintsugi, and we can't wait to display our pieces when we get home. They boxed them up very nicely as well, so they will make the voyage! Definitely recommend this if you're in the Ginza area.
