Very engaging, helpful and fun. We had multiple staff onsite the day we went and my two kids age 9 and 11 really enjoyed leaning from them. Excellent English speakers and just a cool time.
A great experience for an introduction to origami for families couples or an individual. We thoroughly enjoyed our workshop with David who was very patient and enthusiastic.
Great fun and David who guided us was very helpful and made the workshop a great experience. Definitely worth a try.
David was a patient teacher. mom and I had a great time choosing our origami to make. made 3 pieces each. small pad showing you steps that you can replay. my mom made a dress and asked if a belt could be added, David came to the fashion rescue and helped make obe. turned out great. studio is beautiful. had a great time!!!
Suchi_N, thank you for visiting our studio! It was lovely to meet you and your family. You were all kind and teachable -- all we can ask for. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience, and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Japan. Thank you for the review—best of luck and health. Please take care.
A perfect opportunity to learn the basics of origami. The atmosphere was peaceful and the staff were amazing. A definite for families.
Hi Valerie, it was lovely meeting you all yesterday. I hope you all learned something new to take home with you! Thank you for the review. We greatly appreciate it and hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Japan. Please take care!
It was far from the temple area which I didn’t realize but David was a wonderful teacher and made the time fun
Thank you for joining us at the origami studio and leaving a 5-star review. We appreciate it. I'm glad your experience was worth the walk :) We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Japan. Please take care!
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!
Libuska_C, thank you two for booking time with us at the studio and leaving a detailed 5-star review! We appreciate it. Yuzu and I enjoyed instructing you two and are glad you thought it was "great fun"! Please have a safe and memorable rest of your trip in Japan! Take care!
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!
Hi Reina, we're thrilled your daughter loved her time with us. We appreciate your kind review and are glad we could provide a special experience for you and your daughter. We hope she continues to do origami outside our studio and that you two enjoy the rest of your time in Japan. Please take care.
Spent a very pleasant hour learning the basics of origami, Japanese paper folding. Very relaxing with very good instructions and help from David.
Hi Jan, thank you for the kind review. It's greatly appreciated. It was lovely meeting you two and folding origami together. We're happy to hear that you had a relaxing and pleasant experience. Please take care!
This was a really fun activity. Taro’s Origami studio is small and quaint, with many origami artworks displayed. The instructors were very kind and friendly. Making the origami characters was a calming activity and then coloring and decorating them was a great reminder of being a child. No worries, just fun activities. The studio sold a collection of origami jewelry. I bought two sets of earrings. Yay.
Hi Tammy, thank you for the 5-star review. It means a lot to our studio. We're happy our activity brought out your childlike creativity and joy. It means that we're doing something right. We hope you've enjoyed the rest of your trip in Japan. Please take care.
