The 7 Best Lessons & Workshops in Nara, Kinki

May 21, 2021 Viva Honore

Thirteen hundred years ago, Nara (then Heiju-kyu) was the imperial capital of Japan. "Old Japan" is still easy to spot here, from Great Buddha Hall to traditional ryokans and the serene Isuien garden. Travelers rave about walking tours of Nara, particularly in the historic Naramachi merchant area.

Waplus Nara

WAPLUS NARA is the Japanese kimono experience shop, just 2 minutes' walk from JR Nara station. We have a variety of Kimono related services such as kimono rental, costume photos and kimono school. Not only at our shop, we can offer these services at your accommodation or event venue as well. Why don't you enjoy kimono experience in the Ancient Nara. Service details; 1) Kimono School Waplus is one of the only kimono-school for foreigners in Japan, and will help you learn everything there is to know about the tradition of Kimono wearing. After a class on Kinomo history you will be taught how to dress, with amazing patience and attention to detail, the staff help you understand and perfect the intricate process. Knowing that you have learned the traditions and perfected the art yourself is truly rewarding, and the final outfit, with finishing touches from the teachers, is stunning. 2) Costume Photos For a once in a lifetime experience, the costume fitting allows you to transform into a princess, samurai or oiran—with a traditional outfit. Rather than using wigs, trained hairstylists will carefully recreate the authentic appearance using your own hair. When you are ready, the staff will help you dress in the many layers, slowly constructing your complex outfit. Finally, you can step into the studio for your shoot and then choose the final photos as a stunning reminder of your experience, and treasure them as a memory of Japan.

Kinkoen

◆About Kinkoen Kinkoen is a workshop that produces and sells the traditional black ink (sumi) of Nara. Black ink has been used as the most important piece of stationery since ancient times in Japan. Won't you try experiencing the traditions of Nara through the culture of Nara's black ink? ◆ Gripped Black Ink Experience At Kinkoen, you can experience the drifting scents of ancient Japan in our workshop as you squeeze raw black ink to create "Gripped Black Ink". In addition to creating your own personal, nuanced Nara Black Ink (and keeping your hands clean), you can also take part in a Workshop Tour and a Lesson on Black Ink. Please experience the aroma, the softness, and the warmth in the moment that you grip raw black ink. You can take your Gripped Black Ink home with you in a Paulownia wooden box, from a world where the shape of your hand and fingerprints mold your own original, one of a kind creation.
