I painted and do calligraphy at home. The reception lady was super nice and welcoming even I speak only very little Japanese and was late. The teacher - was professional and patient - she guided me patiently through the brush making process and how to glue the brush top together. Also, you can shop for high quality stationaries in the shop. Highly recommended. Recommend to come here with a rental car as the place is not so easy to find but the experience is totally worth it. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=29 Tue, 03 Feb 2026 05:00:43 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=28 I booked this experience seeking a cultural activity I could do with my daughter (10years old). I loved the entire experience. From driving through the beautiful neighbourhood, and the guidance from a skilled potter to complete our works. The hosts made us feel comfortable and welcome and went out if their way to make the experience special. I would highly recommend. My daughter is now wanting to explore more pottery making experiences at home in Australia. It was nice being able to do this activity together! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=28 Mon, 06 Oct 2025 06:56:38 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=27 We had a pottery class with my family. It was an awesome experience. We didn’t speak Japanese, but our teacher was showing us what to do and guiding through the whole process. He was friendly and helpful. Thank you so much! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=27 Wed, 09 Jul 2025 19:36:46 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=26 We are two friends who joined the pottery class. It was one of our highlights of our whole stay in Nara. With kind instructions and patience we were able to create little bowls and vases. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=26 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 12:22:29 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=25 My son and I did the pottery experience. We opted to have the pieces we made sent to us. The teacher was great! Kind, patient and funny. Thank you for a great experience on our trip to Japan! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=25 Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:02:03 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=24 My daughter in law arranged this for us to do and it was so much fun and a great memory made of my wonderful time in Japan. The tutor was lovely and patient. My efforts (2 x pieces) arrived this week and I’m over the moon with them. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=24 Fri, 24 Jan 2025 23:15:46 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=23 We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour! Than you very much for taking your time writing! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=23 Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:37:18 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=22 Boku-Undo stick ink is the the most favored by western and Asian calligraphers in the United States. Their new water colors are also terrific. To view the factory was an excellent experience. It was wonderful to make a stick with your own hand print and take it home. Excellent tour and shop. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=22 Fri, 01 Nov 2024 08:52:51 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=21 My friends and I had an absolute amazing time taking this class. Even though there was a language barrier, the instructor was so kind and helpful, and we were able to share a few laughs and jokes together too. Our items arrived completely intact and looked even better than we remembered! I highly recommend this to anyone and would love to return again. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=21 Wed, 16 Oct 2024 05:18:44 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=20 My family of 5 people did the Ｍanyo Pottery Studio - Pottery Class in Naramachi. It was definitely a highlight. The pottery wheel is hard but the instruction was good and experience was fun. Our pieces arrived a couple weeks after we returned home and look beautiful. They did a great job cleaning them up and glazing with our chosen glazes. Definitely would recommend. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=20 Sat, 03 Aug 2024 01:24:24 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=19 Me and my daughter had a wonderful time at Manyo Pottery Studio. I had never made pottery before, but the teacher was very good. A few weeks later our creations arrived by mail to our home on the other side of the globe. We recommend this experience. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=19 Wed, 17 Jul 2024 19:51:51 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=18 As a solo female traveller I booked a pottery class in Nara and I had an excellent and safe experience. The instructor is very talented, a despite a language barrier he was able to very effectively show me how to through multiple items and even got out google translate so we could have a chat! He was very warm and welcoming and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I ended up getting the pottery shipped to me and it turned out beautifully. Thank you very much for the experience! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=18 Fri, 10 May 2024 05:46:26 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=17 Great experience https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=17 Mon, 06 May 2024 19:36:36 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=16 My daughter and I had a great time learning how to use a pottery wheel and making some bowls. The husband and wife team were friendly and encouraging https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=16 Thu, 18 Apr 2024 22:33:40 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=15 Full of joy https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=15 Wed, 10 Apr 2024 23:17:48 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=14 I joined this class with my friends while visiting in Nana at 17/3/2024.It was fantastic and full of joy.I will come again next time. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=14 Wed, 10 Apr 2024 23:15:01 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=13 My partner and I went to Nara for a day trip from Osaka. I have only done pottery a couple of times but my partner is far more capable! Both of us had a lot of fun and the experience was wonderful. The teaching method was very good, and the learning felt fun. The workshop is beautiful. The studio is in a beautiful part of Nara as well, which we loved exploring. Highly recommend, regardless of your skill level going into it! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=13 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 07:56:16 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=12 We are couple, first time in Japan. It was great to have such a workshop to do something by your own hands, and pottery class was a perfect idea. Very good teacher and a very good class organisation. Thank you very much! https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=12 Mon, 22 Jan 2024 21:22:38 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=11 Whilst planning a trip to Japan with my father, he asked about Japanese calligraphy. With that as a guide I found this experience. With the assistance of a wonderful lady who explained everything in English, we had a fantastic time creating our two brushes. Thoroughly recommend this experience to everyone!! My father and I were so involved in the process, we forgot to take photographs. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=11 Thu, 04 Jan 2024 17:15:10 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=10 This night tour was the most incredible experience. My family and I were so incredibly honoured to have been able to experience. This is a MUST do when you are in Japan. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=10 Sat, 16 Dec 2023 21:06:20 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=9 I joined the activity with my husband as part of a trial program, and it was absolutely magical. Since the opera took place at the historic site of Horyuji Temple, the backstage tour was followed by a brief guided tour explaining how the wooden temple was maintained by generations of master craftsmen over a thousand years. The opera Il Trovatore (directed by Hirofumi Yoshida & Mario Binetti) also couldn’t have been set in a better place. Horyuji Temple has the intimacy of an enclosed space because of how closely the pagodas encircle the stage in front of the main hall, while offering a beautiful setting for an open air performance. Clarissa Constanzo’s breathtaking interpretation of Leonora stole the show, and her voice soared off the temple walls. It was simply sublime. The intimate reception at the end with the performers was also a very pleasant surprise and a wonderful treat. Although the location might be a little inaccessible and the cost might be prohibitive, I still highly recommend joining if there’s another opportunity to view Il Trovatore (or any performing arts for that matter) at Horyuji Temple. I really do hope that performing arts will become a regular annual event at Horyuji Temple in the near future. Highly recommended. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=9 Fri, 26 May 2023 22:25:24 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=8 Na https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=8 Sat, 20 May 2023 21:49:15 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=7 I tried this brush-making experience with my wife and friend. We were carefully instructed by a lovely gentleman who was incredibly knowledgeable. Having lived in Japan for years and travelled the country we can honestly say this was a unique experience we don't think we could have had elsewhere. The downside is that to really understand the details behind the history you must have a great grasp of Japanese. However, you can understand most things at an intermediate level and ask questions on points that interest you. Highly recommended. https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=7 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 21:05:38 +0900 https://nara-experience.com/modules/d3forumen/index.php?topic_id=6 Thank you for your review and the nice video.
