5.00It's a unique origami experience, I liked the washi papers which become transparent after resin process. Good idea of preparing handmade gifts to your beloved ones. And I should add that communication was very easy with Nonoka <3
Fun and relaxing experience

5.00A lovely, fun, relaxing activity. We had the choice of making origami fan or crane earrings or larger crane necklace pendant. Lots of paper options. The origami is sealed with a lacquer to make it stronger. The guide was attentive and kind. She spoke excellent English. The origami is on the 2nd floor of the chopstick making place. Directions to the location could be clearer, perhaps with some photos of the building.
Best day ;)

5.00I had so much fun making custom origami jewelry with Yuuka! I was able to make two unique earrings. She was very fun to chat with and had a lot of patience when I took a long time. Thanks for a fun workshop!

5.00If I only have one piece of advice, go ahead! One of my best activities in Japan. Nonoka was a great encounter: smiling , patient and great teacher . I didn't see time pass and I leave with a traditional memory of Japan that I love. You had the choice of your creation: from the shape (earring , pendant, charms for your keys or your phone) to the choice of paper color and finishes. Recommended! Thank you 🥰

5.00Making origami was a very unique way to take part in Japanese traditions. Our host Yuuka was so wonderful and welcoming! She shared her techniques and helped me and my 10 year old daughter make best souvenirs - crane earrings. We definitely will be showing off these earrings!
Yuuka is lovely
