    If you love crafty...

    If you love crafty activities, you'll love this. The instructor was very kind and gave very clear instructions. You will probably not have enough time in the lesson to finish the entire temari, but she sets you up with everything you need to finish it at home. Her hand dyed threads are beautiful.

    Beautiful and fun to learn!

    This art-form is not only beautiful, it also has an interesting history behind it. Mika is a patient instructor. She uses a large yarn ball to demonstrate how to create the pattern on your ball. I got to select my base color as well as the colors used to make each pattern. I found this class fun and interesting. I'd love to learn some of the more intricate patterns she showed in class!

    Perfect Blend of Crafty and History

    A lovely, fun and interesting experience. It was great adding something different into our trip and being able to learn a new skill/craft while learning about the history also. If you are looking to add something of a slower pace in a busy trip to Japan I would highly recommend this class.

    Learning to sew a temari ball.

    Mika-san was so patient and kind! She gave us a brief history of the temari ball, then led us thru the ways to make a stitch and design. She provided us with supplies and now we are inspired to complete the other side of the temari ball on our own!! Thank you for providing this experience! It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming to my Temari class and sweet comments!! I myself enjyoyed spending time with you. I am so happy to be able to become a part of your memories in Japan♡ Mika

    Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball cost?

    +

    Prices start at $6000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Osaka usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball 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 Osaka is not rushed.

    Is Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Osaka, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball 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 Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball?

    +

    Around 7 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 Osaka 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 Osaka and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lets make a Japanese hand craft Temari embroidered ball 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 Osaka 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 Osaka?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Osaka experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour:15 Tastings & 3 Drinks with a Local, Ultimate Osaka Walking Tour: Castle, Dotonbori, Gems & Lunch, Osaka Castle Walking Tour and Castle Tower Admission. 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 Osaka?

    +

    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 Osaka?

    +

    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.
