Super Fun
Super fun class. We made several pieces and then chose a couple to have them fire, glaze, and then ship to the US. Everything was very resonably priced and they were VERY patient with us in teaching the different techniques. Super fun.

Nice experience
You get to make as many pieces as you can in the time slotted and the teacher spoke good English and was very helpful throughout. Note it costs extra to fire and ship… If you are in Tokyo for a while, go at the beginning of your trip so you have enough time to go back and finish your pieces.
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review and for sharing this helpful tip with future visitors! We would like to add that we offer both international shipping and an Express Firing Program as optional services. Depending on the length of your stay in Tokyo, it may be possible to have your pieces fired and ready for pickup before you return home. Alternatively, we can arrange shipping to your home address after the firing process is complete. Thank you for creating with us, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

SO MUCH FUN. I loved everything about it. We were able to slow down and put our creativity to use. My boyfriend and I didn’t expect it to be that fun Definitely recommend to anyone.

Great first experience with pottery making
Even though it’s just an hour, and we had no prior experience, we actually managed to create some ceramic tableware. We loved it! ❤️

This is an excellent guided pottery class guiding the tourist through various aspects. Note that it will be fired and picked up later but it is worth it! They can ship. Reasonable pricing
