A must-do if you’re in Tokyo!
Reviewed by: Lexi
This was such a wonderful experience! Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were so kind and informative. They taught us about the entire kintsugi process and its history. They also gave us all the information we needed to fix our own ceramics when we get home. If you want an unforgettable experience and a one of a kind souvenir, don’t miss Kuge Crafts! The snacks were wonderful too :)

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji
Best part of our trip!
Reviewed by: Leta & Amber
This kintsugi class was one of the first things we did in Japan, and yet it was one of our favorite activities over our two-week trip!
Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are welcoming, patient, knowledgable and talented instructors. We learned about the art of kintsugi and its history, snacked on delicious tea and snacks, and were guided through producing lovely pieces that we'll enjoy for years to come. Furthermore, we had great conversations (English is not an issue) and lots of laughs.
Very short walk from the bus stop as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro!

Beautiful and quiet morning in Tokyo
Reviewed by: DA
We loved our visit to Kuge Crafts! The hosts were super lovely, enthusiastic to share their craft with us, willing to answer questions, and provided lots of beautiful examples of kintsugi to guide our creation process. If you go for a 1-day class, you will only have time to repair small chips in cups, rather than full cracks, as these take time to dry. You will have plenty of time to paint your piece, however, with gold accents!

Tokyo Kintsugi Class - 1-Day Workshop near Nippori
Rich Experience
Reviewed by: Mia Randall
We ended our trip here and it was the most relaxing, yet rich experience. The art of Kintsugi is extraordinary and absolutely points me back to my faith and how my broken pieces don’t discount me from the love of Christ. I thought I knew most of the process, but the time spent went deeper than my current knowledge and enhanced my love for the art form even more! It’s a must if you are in Tokyo, or even if you aren’t, make the trip.
Schedule your trip around time you may spend in Sensoji area since it isn’t far from there.

This was a fantastic experience. The owner and her husband made us feel very welcome and provided excellent tuition. The tea and sweet treats were delicious.
It was very clear that they were exceptionally talented, and the craftsmanship on display was incredible!
We feel very inspired to continue Kintsugi at home and plan on breaking many plates!

Fantastic, favorite event!
Reviewed by: JZSP
Highly recommend. This was our favorite part of a great trip! Toshie is a wonderful teacher and she has set up this easy-going experience so that it's fun and accessible for everyone. Absolutely worth the price!
Our group was two couples, it was just us; I think she extended the time because she saw we were having fun. Skill and language are no barriers, she has pictures, labels, and experience doing this for many years and it's easy to learn from her and incredibly fun! She serves tea and snacks to enjoy and you can chat casually as you work and wait for things to dry. Plus you get an incredible, one-of-a-kind souvenir/gift/memento out of it! (Which she packages securely for you to travel without worry of damaging it.)
As a tourist who doesn't speak Japanese, this was the activity that left me feeling the closest connection to the culture.
At the end of the class I wish I had some small gift to give back to our teacher.

Don't miss this experience while you're in Tokyo
Reviewed by: Zane
From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. It's an intimate, private class inside the artist's studio. The instructor provided information on the history of kintsugi and carefully guided us through each step of the process with ample detail. A list of all the tools and materials used in the class are provided in a list as well (make sure to go to Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku to get them yourself!)
Easy to find, but like others have said give yourself a little extra time just in case.

Our experience was great!
We started off with a homemade dessert treat, and Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were lovely. They patiently walked us through the process of creating our own pieces, and gave us information on equipment to purchase here in Japan in order to do kintsugi back home.
Overall a lovely way to have a personalized souvenir and learn more about the art of Kintsugi.

Participating in a cultural tradition
Reviewed by: Alaska
We thoroughly enjoyed our kintsugi lesson with Kuge Crafts. In a snug little studio our class of four students were charmed by the instructor husband and wife team. The lesson was well planned and timed. We chose our small nicked vessels from an array of antique cups and immediately set about repairing and decorating them with golden lacquer. The results were so pleasing. and well-packed for travel home.

This class was a highlight of our trip. My 18 yo daughter and 21 yo son also enjoyed the kintsugi experience very much. Class was just the 3 of us, was very well run and we were able to do all steps of the repair process. Our still wet teacups were packaged very well and came home in one piece without shifting out of place.

Reviewed by: Cass
My 80 year old father was just going to humor me, but the lovely couple who run Kuge crafts won him over instantly. They were just wonderful and so willing to share their love of kintsugi. We were greeted with beautiful snacks and tea and were able to pick our item from a selection. We were then told how old our items were. Ours were from the Edo period. We got right to work repairing the miniature chips, it’s a beginner class! Our cups turned out so beautiful and my father surprisingly got very into decorating his! He said it was his favorite activity we’d done in our two week trip. I can’t wait to come back for another visit! They also gave us a very helpful list of all the items needed to do this at home. I was able to get everything at Hands and can’t wait to attempt this again.
Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon!

Delightful!!
Reviewed by: Carolee
I spent a lovely couple of hours learning about and trying my hand at kintsugi with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko. They make quite a team!
We received snacks to start and tea throughout. We choose from among a dozen chipped cups to repair and then walked through the process at a leisurely pace. They sent us home with enough information (plus a tiny custom brush) to try repairs at home.
Kintsugi can be a much more creative craft than I realized. I highly recommend this class for both the interaction Y. and Y. and the activity.
Getting to the shop can be a challenge. Allow plenty of time.

Wonderful, memorable experience
Reviewed by: Katie
Toshie Masubuchi was a wealth of knowledge in Kintsugi, as well as being a warm and detailed teacher throughout the lesson. This was my first time engaging in this art form and Toshi was prepared to teach with detailed handouts (in English), thorough verbal descriptions and visual hands-on examples at each step.
She welcomed me into her art space with a hot cup of tea on a cold morning and was patient and helpful during the entire lesson. I will treasure the memories of this class and recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo.
Definitely plan on a visit if you can.

Wonderful experience!
Reviewed by: Alessandra
My partner and I were excited to engage in a traditional activity during our trip to Japan. We stumbled on Kuge Crafts on a prominent publication and decided to book, and we were not disappointed. The owners, who have been practising this craft for 40+ years, welcomed us into their home with tea and Japanese treats. The class was an intimate one, with only 4 people at a time, allowing for a more personal experience and ability to ask lots of questions and get a hands on experience. The activity was not rushed, the ceramics provided were very interesting and antique, and they even provided proper packaging to survive the trip home!

Incredibly fun, soothing and addictive
Reviewed by: kt
The class was incredibly fun and informative, and taught by two very patient and knowledgeable instructors. They were welcoming, and immediately made us feel right at home. Neither my husband nor I are very creative, but they were very supportive and encouraging and we had a very fun afternoon. The activity itself was very soothing and relaxing. It was also very clear that they are very proud of their craft and hope to see people continue to try it at home, as they showed us the exact product to buy if we wanted to continue to practice. They even told us it would be OK if we reached out after the class if we had any questions, and to email them pictures of things we are working on should we try kintsugi at home. Highly, highly recommend this class :)
