Un agréable moment en famille - Easy access close to Tokyo tower by feet. Friendly and available teacher. The 4 of us (13yo to 43yo) enjoyed this moment.

great fun and intro! - really fun class intro to pottery. Jumpai (sp?) was an excellent instructor. know you won't have any finished pieces but at a cost and a few weeks time your pottery can be completed for you and shipped. currently not to USA though. learned a lot, fun evening spent. near the tokyo tower!

Mr. Hoshi an old world master - Mr. Hoshi is an amazing pottery master, even though he is so modest. Very thorough and patient teaching brought the plate maker out of my wife and the cup maker out of me. We both layered the rice bowl as well. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty in tariffs and shipping, we were jot able to take our creations home. But we will return and do this again. The class size was small and you get a lot of help, attention, and praise from Mr.Hoshi. bravo!!!

Great experience for beginners. - Really fun pottery making experience. Great for beginners, very good English speakers and ultimately was very affordable if you want to keep any of your pieces and have them sent back to the states. Very courteous and skilled staff.

Fun change of pace to fill an afternoon - Staff was very kind, super helpful and supportive, and spoke excellent English. Overall an excellent experience. Note that if you want to take anything home there are additional fees to fire, glaze, and ship (if needed) - which can be pricey. The finished items won't be done for a month or so. This class is likely similar to ones you would do in any other city around the world, nothing particularly "Japanese" about it (thought not advertised as such, so not necessarily a bad thing). Fun experience overall, worth the time and money as long as you understand the whole picture.
