Things to do in Kyoto, Kinki: The Best Shopping
The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

Get your own handcraft with Raden and Makie! In our class, you can get hands on experience to make either a tray or a couple coasters. We hope you have a wonderful time to experience this beautiful japan art. We have an English-speaking instructor. You can book the class from our HP. Only 5 min from bamboo grove and 10 min from JR SAGA ARASHIYAMA St. Raden means handcrafts of lacquer ware with seashells and Makie means a traditional lacquer ware technique with gold powder to decorate.

My boyfriend and I visited today and made some beautiful trays. We were seated in the traditional workshop, and made our trays alongside the 4th generation family who run the shop, and have been making their artwork for over 100 years. Nick also showed us some of the beautiful pieces his grandfather had made which were exquisite, alongside all the beautiful newer pieces in the store! Nick was an incredible host, and very informative and accommodating, with excellent English. If you are in Kyoto, would highly recommend this class, it’s easy to book on the website and is only a 5 min walk from the bamboo forest and temples. Thank you again, Nick!
