I took an origami class at Maikoya with my boyfriend earlier today. The class was taught by Hikari and Ayaka, both of whom spoke very good English and were excellent teachers. We wore kimonos and drank green tea during the class, and I had a lot of fun learning to fold samurai hats, cranes, and even a paper totoro! Whether you've been doing origami for years or are looking to try it for the first time, I highly recommend Maikoya!
We made several oragami with the helpful guide and had lots of fun. Also mad a tour of their under-construction samurai museum. Lots of activities to try all in one place
I took an origami lesson. The teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was my first time doing it and I enjoyed it a lot ! Thanks to Maikoya !
Maikoya has excellent activities on offer and accomodated me for kimono dressing without prior booking. Super friendly staff speaking fluent English. My origami activity was fun and I was amazed at how many things can be made from origami! Nanako was my tutor and she is wonderful!
