Great Kintsugi Experience
Good way to learn ths culture of japan by creating a memorable kintsugi. The tutor is nice and friendly, even helped me to take pictures. All in all it was a great experience from my side.

The best kintsugi experience
I really loved my experience here at the chopsticks studio Shinjuku workshop. The kintsugi workshop itself was super educational and it was really interesting hearing about the history of kintsugi. We got to pick a plate from a lot of designs. The staff were very attentive and friendly making the whole experience better ;) would recommend this for anyone in Tokyo

Really good experience
It was a great experience the staff is friendly and cheerful, and always there if you need help. The location is easy to find, and the workshop is clean. I recommend it if you're in the area.

Learning an art
What a quiet and cool respite from the busy city. Our art guide was so sweet and walked us through the repairs. Many young adults were participating so great to meet people from around the globe. I would highly recommend.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 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 Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku?
+
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 Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku?
+
Around 5 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo: Japanese Gold Repair Kintsugi Workshop in Shinjuku 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 Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. 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.
