What a fun experience! We have been trying to do Japanese cultural activities during our visit and this one fit to bill! We were first taught proper folding techniques to provide the best possible results. Next, we had the resources of a tablet or a book for origami patterns and had great assistance along the way by the two instructors. We were able to produce many small and easy projects in the allotted time and gained confidence in our ability to progress as we practice more in future. I definitely recommend this experience and it is great fun for all ages!

My daughter specifically requested an origami class so I went with her! It's our first time in Japan and I was so glad I could provide her an authentic Japanese experience that could become a hobby for her! There were only 2 of us in the class, and the teachers were very attentive! My daughter loved it! My only regret was that I didn't carry cash with me, so I couldn't offer a tip (sorry!), so a tip to future classes, please bring money for tip! They also sell lots of origami merchandise, and the workers are very pleasant and nice! They also offered to take our photos!
