Art and Design Tours in Kyoto

Fukusa Shibori Class

Shibori fun

Not only was the workshop engaging and informative, it was a lot of fun. The instructors were very patient with us and while we communicated with our instructors in our limited Japanese, we all laughed a lot together. After visiting the Shibori museum, we left with the Shibori that we created. It was beautifully packaged for us by the staff to take home.

Kyoto Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Walk and Chopstick Making Tour

What a lovely day!

We had a great time. Riko was our guide and she was lovely and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful walk in the bamboo forest and by the river. We then moved on to chopstick making which was really fun. We learnt a lot! Phoebe was super patient and it was a great end to the tour. We would absolutely recommend this. Loved it!

Naoshima Art Island Hassle-free Luxury Tour from Kyoto

Naoshima Art Island, Benesse Chuchi Art Museum

A very interesting venue, with just a few art exhibits but those are very worth seeing/experiencing. If you are able to walk or willing to rent a bicycle or scooter then transportation should not be a problem. However, if you need to rely on the bus transportation, then be aware that: the town buses may be crowded, so if you arrive via Honmura port they recommend that you ride over to Miyanoura first then get off and onto the next bus south. The town buses run frequently but the Benesse bus service is quite sporadic, including absolutely no busses during the lunch hour (12-1).
