Create Your Own Traditional Japanese Accessory in Kyoto — A Hands-On Cultural Workshop

In this 90-minute workshop, you'll design a beautiful, one-of-a-kind accessory that can be worn as either a hair ornament or brooch. Using traditional Japanese materials like washi paper, mizuhiki cords, origami, and artificial Japanese flowers, you’ll create a personalized piece that complements both modern and traditional styles.

Dress in a traditional haori jacket (free rental) and immerse yourself in the charm of Japanese culture as you craft your accessory with expert guidance. Choose from a wide variety of colors and materials to make something uniquely yours. Once you’re done, enjoy a photo session with your creation and outfit!

The workshop also includes:

A certificate of completion as a meaningful keepsake

A handmade Japanese gift in addition to your own creation

Complimentary Japanese tea and sweets

Professional instruction from a kimono-clad teacher

A family-friendly atmosphere, with options for children to participate

Great value—high-quality materials and unique souvenirs included

Located in central Kyoto, just a short walk from UNESCO World Heritage Site Nijo Castle, and with easy access to Gion, Arashiyama, Kawaramachi, and Karasuma, it’s the perfect cultural activity to enhance your trip.

Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, with friends or family, this workshop offers a peaceful, creative break and a chance to take home a special memory of your time in Japan.
