5.00Had a great 90 mins learning about and painting our own personal Daruma. Staff are welcoming and helpful. They are happy to help you with your design and writing Kanji symbols on your Daruma.
So relaxing and interesting, a must do!

5.00The helpful and friendly host welcomed us. We had a lovely time decorating our Daruma and learning about its purpose and meaning culturally. It is in a lovely and traditional intimate setting and has a great relaxed vibe. If you are looking for something unique to do, this is a must try! I highly recommend it.
