Visit the Kintsugi Labo in Japan! Our workshop in Shiga Prefecture, next to Kyoto, is a unique place to shop for Kintsugi lovers. Our staff will pick you up at JR Maibara station and bring you to our workshop, just a 20-minute drive away.
You can view and purchase the same beautiful Kintsugi pieces featured in our online store. As a special offer, we provide a complimentary Kintsugi experience for customers who purchase a Kintsugi piece directly from our workshop.
Please note that visits are by appointment only, as we are not always open. To ensure your space, kindly schedule your visit using the form below at least one week in advance.
Come and explore the beauty and philosophy behind this timeless Japanese art!

Guide to shopping in our workshop

Please note that payment must be made in Japanese yen, including sales tax, by credit card at the exchange rate on the day of your visit.
If you're concerned about carrying both the Kintsugi piece you purchased and the vessel you experienced back home with you, we offer international shipping (with some area restrictions). For your convenience, we can ship them together via DHL Express to your home at a later date if you prefer.

Reservation Form

Instructions:

• Fill out all fields marked with an asterisk* and submit the form.
• We will email you a confirmed date and time after coordinating the schedules of our Kintsugi artist and store staff. To finalize your reservation, reply to our confirmation email by the due date if the schedule is acceptable.
• Our confirmation email will be sent from info@isono-revitalizing-office.jp. If you do not see it in your inbox, please check your spam folder.

Important Notes:

• We regret that we are unable to accept last-minute reservations with less than one week's notice or customers who only wish to tour our studio or experience Kintsugi without the intention of purchasing our Kintsugi pieces.
• You may view and purchase the same Kintsugi pieces currently available in our web store at our studio. However, since online orders take priority, please inform us in advance if you would like to reserve any pieces until your visit.
• We are pleased to offer the same prices as our online store, but please note that sales tax is included in the retail price because our studio is not tax-free.
• We offer our Kintsugi experience free of charge exclusively to customers who purchase a Kintsugi piece at our studio. Although the full traditional Kintsugi process takes several months, you will participate in the final steps. This hands-on experience involves applying quick-dry urushi lacquer to a small dish and sprinkling it with brass powder.
• Please allow three hours for your entire visit, including travel time and the kintsugi experience.
• Your request may not be accommodated depending on our availability.
