The forging experience was a first for me and it was well worth the money, time and journey! It's in a beautiful location worth a visit and with Nakanishi Sensei teaching us about the art of forging with such a passion, it became a spiritual experience. From understanding the role light plays in forging, the techniques for hammering the steel to the desired shape, and the clay art to create your unique hamon, it was all amazing!

My mother (69yo), teenage relatives (13 and 17yo) and I (27yo) did a day trip to Kimino High School in August of 2024 and we all had a blast! If you love anime and/or nostalgia, I would highly recommend this experience if you're visiting Japan. The organizers arrange a free shuttle service that transports you to/from Shinjuku station and the school in Chiba. I highly recommend using it because the school is located far in the countryside.

Welcome to Kawaguchi, one of the first post towns on the ancient Nikko Onari Kaido highway, which once connected Edo (modern day Tokyo) with the temple and shrine-filled city of Nikko. Your guide will meet you at Shakujouji Temple, just a short walk from the station, ready to take you into a day in the life of a shogun traveling to Nikko to pay their respects at Toshogu Shrine. Generations of Tokugawa shoguns, who ruled over Japan during the Edo period, stopped here during their journeys. Your guide will give you an overview of this history, before taking part in a Buddhist blessing ritual. Then get a true taste of Edo cuisine, by enjoying the same meal that shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune ate during his visit to the temple on April 13, 1728. The menu was recorded in a historical chronicle, and an Edo food expert recreated each individual dish based on recipe books from the period. Finally, you will have the unique opportunity to try on a Takasagozome kimono, featuring elaborate patterns that were all the rage in the inner quarters of the shogun's court. Most people in Japan have never seen, let alone worn, a Takasago-dyed kimono!

Why not try painting an auspicious papier-mâché doll with your own original design at the popular Japanese culture experience cafe in Asakusa?

Once you have decided on the body, use your imagination and paint your ideas with paint. Our staff will support you, so even beginners can have fun creating. Papier-mâché dolls are hollow and very light, so they are very popular as travel souvenirs.

Papier-mâché daruma dolls are used for all kinds of wishes, such as warding off evil, making the family happy, and making wishes come true, so they are used for prosperity in business and winning. ▶Lucky catsLucky cats used to be a lucky charm for sericulture because they exterminate mice that eat crops and silkworms, but since sericulture has declined, they have come to be seen as a lucky charm for business prosperity. There is a theory that lucky cats were originally made using the "Imado ware" pottery technique that was produced around Imado-cho in Asakusa. *There are various theories*Depending on the stock situation, we may not be able to provide the body you want.

Each kanji character has a meaning, and the appearance of the font is considered beautiful, so ``kanji'' themselves are very popular among foreigners, who often wear T-shirts with large kanji prints on them. Many of you may have seen foreigners with Chinese characters or kanji tattoos on their bodies. The customer chooses such a kanji, and we will explain the calligraphy mindset, tools, and movements, so that they can deeply understand ``Hinomoto Calligraphy'' and write down the kanji they have chosen with a brush.
The staff was very friendly and were genuinely passionate about helping us learn. They were cheering on us and really did their best so that we could have the best experience! The space was beautiful, and we were meticulously cared for. Left the experience excited to tell my friends about it!

This is a course where you can experience "Modern Kintsugi" at a long-established lacquerware store. In this course, unlike full-fledged kintsugi, which uses real lacquer, substitute lacquer is used to restore the pottery. It is resistant to rashes and dries quickly, so you can take your work home with you on the same day. In addition, in this course, you can prepare a vessel for restoration, so you can easily experience Kintsugi empty-handed. Of course, you can also bring the vessel you want to do kintsugi. The shop is located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, where many long-established traditional craft shops gather. During the Edo period, it prospered as a base for commerce and logistics, and even now you can feel the atmosphere of Edo culture everywhere. Why don't you experience Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese restoration technique, while enjoying a walk before and after the experience?

新婚旅行で訪れた初めての金沢観光で利用しました。 まず、入り口ののれんや壁のアートなど、和のいい雰囲気でした。ここにしてよかったと、パッと見て思いました。 着物の種類は、安いプランでもそこそこ選べたので満足でした!足袋や下駄、バッグ、髪飾りなど必要なものは全て付いてくるのも良かったです。 髪飾りは沢山の中から何個でも好きなもの選んでいいよと言っていただけて、豪華にしていただきました。 日差しが強い日だったのでレンタル用の日傘を無料で貸してくれたのも助かりました。 メンズの着物も、種類が豊富だった印象です。特に帯はこんなに選べるんだとびっくりしました。選ぶのに少し悩みましたが、店員さんがアドバイスしてくれたのでいいものが選べました。 着付けしていただいたときに、着物が崩れてきたらどうしたらいいか、お手洗いに行く時のコツなど、教えていただけるとさらによかったかなと思います。 着付けてもらった後は自撮りライトで自撮りできるスペースがあり、いい写真が撮れました! 総じて満足しています。おかげさまで、いい記念になりました。ありがとうございました!
