Fun and unique experience! - Fun experience! We enjoyed making our necklaces and learning a new craft. The instructor ladies were great at making sure we were following the steps and they helped us when needed. She even helped us organize a taxi after to see the blooming cherry blossoms nearby-we are so thankful. It was a unique experience for us!

Do it! You won’t regret it! - Mia and her team were so welcoming and helpful! She explained the traditional process of mending pottery then showed us each step to make the most beautiful necklaces. The studio was clean, had mended pieces of art for sale (in case you wanted additional one of a kind keepsakes), and was just the best atmosphere! Their hospitality was top notch. If you’re looking for something low key brilliant, hands on, and memorable while in Okinawa (Naha)… this is it!

Calm and fun activity with jewelry you can keep! - The staff were very kind and welcoming, and experience was fun and the final products were quite nice. There was no additional charges or fees. My family and I weren't there too long, and the enviornment was nicely kept. We were also the only ones there besides the two kind women who were assisting us.

Traditional crafts - Attempted to find solo activities on my trip to Okinawa and this was perfect. Made a beautiful necklace that I'll treasure forever and got gifts for my family back home as well. Staff was lovely as well. Would definitely recommend.
