My family and I had a great time with the kintsugi workshop. The workshop was clean amd well lit and had a lively atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and Ryu did a great job of explaining everything to us and walking is through the steps. We were surprised at how well our projects turned out - they will make great mementos of our trip. I would definitely recommend this activity as a fun family activity at a good value.
Great tour. The staff spoke very good English, and the process of making the gold repaired plate was fun. Highly recommend in Gion area. Mert was a great guide and very patient.
