Best activity for older kids

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a wonderful experience. Perfect activity for older kids in the midst of walking through bamboo garden and shrines. My kids and nieces loved it. It was so much fun. Creating their own design and working the machinery.

Amazing Experience

Published on Jul, 2024

After a long day of walking this was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience creating our own keepsake lanterns. We love how they turned out thanks to our wonderful teacher!

Awesome time making the bamboo lantern

Published on Jun, 2024

Nori is a friendly, courteous instructor. From our meeting point, we walked through the famous bamboo forest (part way) and ducked out to a lovely neighborhood until we reached her studio. The space was clean, bright, and wonderfully set up. Her English is flawless so everyone was comfortable conversing with her. The lantern project was delightfully fun. (My recommendation is to select a design that has several larger holes because it’s not only easier to drill but more light comes through once completed.) You’ll enjoy this experience!

Great family activity

Noriko is very very kind. She was also very patient with my twin 11 year old boys. Also very knowledgeable as my one boy had sooooo many questions and she answered everything for him in perfect English. She walked us through the bamboo forest where she took some spectacular pictures of us. We went through the forest the day before with another tour but just got ordinary pictures. The 15-20 minute walk was worth it for us because of those pictures. We brought home our lanterns in our carry on luggage with no issues. The lanterns are sitting beside our beds looking as a one of a kind piece of art work. Not the usual tourist souvenir. Highly recommend this activity.

Above and Beyond

The host took us on a tour of Arashiyama before leading us to the workshop for the craft. She shared fascinating information about local history and bamboo. She was an excellent teacher for the workshop and our lanterns came out beautifully! We had a blast and would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anybody!
