Discover the beauty of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of embracing imperfection and giving broken objects a new life. In this hands-on workshop in Kyoto, you'll learn about the philosophy and history behind Kintsugi while creating your own unique piece to take home. With step-by-step guidance from our friendly instructor, you'll experience the process of joining and decorating broken pottery, highlighting its cracks rather than hiding them. No previous experience is needed, making this workshop perfect for beginners. Kintsugi is more than a craft. It reflects a uniquely Japanese way of seeing beauty — appreciating an object's history, imperfections, and transformation instead of trying to make it look untouched. At the end of the experience, you'll take home a one-of-a-kind piece created by your own hands and a meaningful reminder of your time in Japan. Perfect for couples, families, friends, and solo travelers looking for a relaxing, creative, and meaningful cultural experience in Kyoto.
What a fantastic thing to do while in Japan! Really a small insight to more Japanese culture. Kai was brilliant. She explained every step so well and was very patient. Thanks so much!
Had an incredible experience, and a beautiful take home souvenir
Was a fun task and the staff were great.
We were served by Kazuma who was very patient with us and made sure that we were taken care of during the whole experience. It was relaxing and very fun. I would highly recommend coming.
Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! I got to learn a little bit of history of kintsugi and be completely hands-on in the process. It was so therapeutic to work with my hands and create beauty in the imperfection of the cracks. I may even come again for another set before I leave.
Enjoyable time and helpful employees giving you the history and teaching you what to do.
Absolutely amazing experience, friendly staff, loved the experience. Highly recommend

Was a fantastic experience, Rachel was knowledgeable and so professional. She helped us file down our edges to get the best Kintsugi lines on our plates. Chatted the time away and had a wonderful time, would recommend this to anyone. Could spend all day here doing all the different crafts. 10/10

It was so much fun, and the finished plate will be a very special memory. Thanks Yay!
Great experience we love the teacher and would definitely recommend it to everyone! It is a big shop where you can do multiple things, but as it is in the middle of Osakait is really cool ! 😎

Lovely experience, assisted by Anri and Rachel
Doing kintsugi was an amazing experience. Alex made it fun and easy to follow. We were 5 mins late unfortunately and the team did everything to accommodate us. You can choose your plate from a nice range and then there are options to pay a bit more and get other plates.
Rachel was great! Friendly and accommodating
Was lot of fun and very informative. Cool to have something you fixed and can take home. Rachel was fantastic!
