Fun for all! - Took my 8 and 10 year old to this shop and had a great experience with the guided folding. We spent 45 min and were able to choose our own designs to fold during that time with help from the teacher if needed. It was the perfect indoor activity on a hot day and all of us enjoyed it. We also purchased a book and some paper to take back to the hotel to practice! Perfectly fun!

Nice experience - We had a great time and it was a very relaxed experience learning origami at our own pace due to the smart IT guides. David was very kind and as a he grew up in the US he was very easy to communicate with as we do not speak Japanese. An overall great experience suited for all interested in learning the basics of origami.

Relaxing, Fun and Enjoyable - Had so much fun! Very interesting place to visit. Nice location - a walking distance from Sensoji temple, plus great view with Tokyo Skytree and Sumida river. If you’d like a fun experience in a relaxing atmosphere, this is the place to visit. After the activity, I dropped by Matsuchiyama shoden, another old temple nearby, which is also a great place to take a look.

Chilled and fun experience - Lovely chilled experience to do in amongst the chaos of such a big city. We were a family of 2 adults, 9 and 4 year old girls. The girls loved trying out all the different origami and the wall of paper was great for them to select from. All the little extras in the middle such as pens and googly eyes were welcomed too. My suggestion to make it even better would be to have a little explanation of some of the main folds used to help everyone get started. There was mention of books to look through too, would be great to see these. Overall, we had a brilliant time and I would recommend if you're after 45 mins of quiet, relaxing Japanese culture.

Nice idea that could be improved - We enjoyed folding origami at Taro‘s Orgami Studio. Unfortunately, there was only a how-to on a tablet without any further interaction with the person from the studio. We wished to get a more interactive class and would have been willing to pay more for a proper folding experience. Nevertheless, thank you for this first impression of folding origami :)
