    ✨✨✨✨

    We absolutely loved our Modern Kintsugi Class with Michiko. It was such a beautiful and meaningful experience from beginning to end. Michiko was incredibly kind and welcoming. She started by explaining the history and philosophy behind kintsugi, as well as the different traditional and modern techniques, before guiding us step by step through the creation of our own pieces. Her explanations were clear and engaging, and her English was excellent. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere she created: she accompanied us throughout the workshop with such gentleness, patience and discretion, always available when we needed help while still giving us the space to enjoy the creative process ourselves. She also treated us to some delicious Japanese sweets and prepared a wonderful matcha for us, which was such a lovely touch and made the whole experience feel even more authentic and personal. We are extremely happy with what we created and will bring home not only two very special souvenirs, but also a beautiful memory of our time in Japan. A truly wonderful experience that I would absolutely recommend!

    Fantastic cultural and fun art experience

    It was an amazing experience. We spent 2 hours doing art work and learning about the various process of kintsugi art while tasting various Japanese treats and matcha tea. Michiko sensei and her assistant were super helpful in creating a fun and friendly workshop. This was a fun way to top off a birthday trip. Afterwards we all agreed that it was one of the most memorable experiences we've ever had in Tokyo. I'd recommend others to do it for a special occasion or making a memory that you wish to treasure. Lastly you get to take home a special personalized art work. Personally I think it was priceless. Tip: I recommend arriving 10 minutes early as it took us some time to find the small office door upstairs of the grey bulding. Also, I'd not trust Uber to arrive on time. There was traffic and rain delay on our day of event.

    Our Japan Highlight!

    We had such a wonderful and truly special experience at this Kintsugi Workshop at mon cadeau kintsugi in Tokyo! The experience was incredibly personal and intimate. The owner and sensei Michiko took so much time for us, explained everything with great care and patience, and guided us through the process. She was also very supportive in arranging this special appointment. We had a wonderful time, learned so much about the beautiful philosophy behind Kintsugi, and created our own self-made Kintsugi keepsakes to take home. Definitely one of the highlights of our Japan trip! We are very grateful for this special experience and would definitely recommend Michiko’s Kintsugi workshop to anyone visiting Tokyo. ❤️

    Golden Tokyo Memories

    A peaceful oasis in the midst of one of the world’s busiest cities. Michiko is a kind and patient teacher. I am so glad that I slowed down to enjoy a meaningful morning to make something beautiful together.

    Relaxing and fun time—highly recommend!

    We had a lovely time trying kintsugi during our trip to Tokyo. Our teachers and hosts were very welcoming and we had a chance to relax for a couple hours and each repair a small dish. The experience is like going to an artist friend’s home. Highly recommend this activity!

    Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

    How much does Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo cost?

    +

    Prices start at ¥22,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

    Is Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo?

    +

    Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Intimate&Authentic Kintsugi&Matcha Experience in Shibuya, Tokyo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

    +

    Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

    +

    Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tokyo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
