5.00I really enjoyed this Kintsugi workshop in Osaka! Jouske was a wonderful instructor—patient, clear in his explanations, and very supportive throughout the process. It was a relaxing and memorable hands-on experience, and I loved being able to bring home a unique piece I repaired myself. We also enjoyed matcha at the end, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Osaka.

5.00Amazing experience! Jo took the time and patience to teach my wife and I the art of Kintsugi. He explained all the steps and how important it is to Japanese culture. He provided us variety of refreshments, even an impromptu matcha making class. We got to apply the laquer and gold. He explained that it does take 24hrs to dry and he would be happy to drop off to our hotel. Well worth experience and highly recommend!
Fantastic workshop with plenty of extra help!
