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.

先日、池袋店で利用したものです。 案内時間は20分も待たされた挙句、終了まで1時間半弱、、、こんなに着付けにかからお店は京都でもないです…笑 特にヘアセットが最悪でした。 何が最悪かといいますと、かなり混み合っていたからなのか(百歩譲って) 手抜きで髪の毛は最初から最後までブラシを通すこともされなければ、前髪はこちらが言わなければ巻いてくれなかったです。 なんと、前髪巻いた後も放置でブラシなど通さず、いくら待てどもスルーなので仕方がないので自分のブラシでときました。 さすがに急いでたとしてもその対応はあり得ないのでは?ヘアセットは髪の毛全部ですよね? 前髪だけないなんて さらにはヘアスプレーも耳などをよけずにそのままいきなりダイレクトにスプレーされました。 こちらは本真珠のピアスをつけていたので痛まないかとても不快な気分になりました。 待たせておいてヘアセットまで雑なのはいかがなものでしょうか? 教育がなってなさすぎませんか。 そちらのミスにもかかわらずカップルプランの男女名前が逆になっていたのも私たちが悪いわけでもないのになぜか誤りもせず驚きました。 そんなに余裕がなくて一つ一つ雑になるならキャパよりも多く予約取らないほうがいいですよ。 ヘアセットは本当に最悪でした。 いろいろなところで着物着ますが過去一最悪な思いしました。

In this workshop, you will experience the final coating and sprinkling of gold powder on old Japanese pottery that has been restored over time by a Kintsugi expert using real lacquer. The materials used are lacquer and real gold powder. Because it is a natural material, it is a traditional method that is completely food safe and ideal for tableware. Each step up to the finishing stage will be demonstrated using actual tools and materials, and we will introduce the history and philosophy of Kintsugi behind it, as well as various finishing methods and aftercare. Please enjoy the most moving moment of Kintsugi! On the day, you can choose either a small plate or a cup for the Kintsugi experience, and take the completed pottery home as it is. We will also prepare a relaxing tea time with beautiful Japanese sweets. Enjoy a relaxing time while touching Japanese tradition. (All workshops are in English) Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair technique that uses lacquer and gold to repair broken or chipped pottery. It is a unique Japanese aesthetic sense that even damaged and imperfect forms are beautiful. By decorating with gold or silver, rather than hiding scratches, you can breathe new life into them and create a sustainable cycle of cherishing things. Repairing also gives you a sense of peace of mind, so it is also called art therapy. Since the repairs are done using natural materials such as lacquer, wood powder, and gold dust, you can rest assured that they can be used on tableware. *This class does not use synthetic resins such as epoxy resins used in modern and simple kintsugi.
