During this exclusive experience with Honey J Travel, discover authentic Kintsugi using the classical method with 100% natural materials and Urushi lacquer. While full restoration takes months, you will focus on the ultimate highlight: Step 5, the "kin-maki" (gold sprinkling) technique.

Guided by an expert team trained under a Kintsugi Master with 50 years of heritage, apply real gold to your choice of a newly crafted vessel or a unique Kyoto antique. Discover the history and science of Urushi through informative English presentations.

Go behind the scenes of a working studio to view the "muro" (drying chambers), active restorations, and completed masterpieces. You will unlock the profound Japanese philosophy of sustainability and finding beauty in imperfection.

This hands-on workshop provides a seamless look at ancient craftsmanship, ensuring you conclude your session with a deep cultural understanding and your own one-of-a-kind gold-restored souvenir.
