Fantastic! Fun experience for myself, my husband and our two teen/preteen boys. We each got to choose between star and knife. Sawan, the instructor, was wonderful - she explained all of the steps and helped us when needed. Not only great experience, you go home with a beautiful souvenir! Highly recommend!!
Had a wonderful experience making a mask with Ako! Very friendly, and the process is so easy that anyone young or old can come out with a one-of-a-kind souvenir from their time in Japan. Would recommend
Super cool experience. We had Ako help us build a mask and it was once in a life time experience. Super nice area. When I first googled maps the place it looked weird but after walking around it’s a really safe and clean area.
My two boys of 9 and 12 loved making the masks. Good presented and setup, ownsers english was very good.
Very unique experience, the hosts were very nice and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Excellent service and very fun experience. I made a kunai
We had such a great time channeling our inner craftsmen making ninja stars! This was definitely the favorite experience of our trip for our 10 and 12 year old boys. Ako and Sawan were very welcoming and helped us create some special and unique keepsakes. It took us about 2.5 hours total and was well worth it.
Such great experience! My 11yr old son kept up nicely. The instructors were very helpful and friendly. We made a kunai but sat next to a couple girls making shurikan and another person was making a mask - we enjoyed watching the differing processes. It is a bit of work but nothing too strenuous. Highly recommend - such a cool souvenir!
Absolutely loved this experience! They speak very well English and help you out a lot. They were so nice and we would do this again!
We had such a wonderful time! It was a great unique experience and it wa so fun to create our ow pieces- highly recommend!
