The Minsa weaving workshop was such a stylish and picturesque space—no matter where you looked! I’m so happy I got to make such a cute table centerpiece♪ I highly recommend it—you can make wonderful memories even on a rainy day!

I really enjoyed the traditional Minsa weaving workshop and was able to fully immerse myself in it. Since I wove it using yarn I chose myself, I’ve grown quite attached to it, and I ended up with a lovely table centerpiece. It’s the perfect activity for a rainy day.

I tried my hand at traditional Minsa weaving, something I’d been interested in for a while. At first, I found handling the thread a little difficult, but the instructor was right there beside me, patiently guiding me, so I was able to complete the piece. If I had to nitpick, it would have been perfect if I’d had a little more time to work at a slower pace.

I participated in this class during my free time as a solo traveler. The teacher was very friendly and I was able to immerse myself in the class by myself without hesitation. I felt a sense of accomplishment weaving the traditional pattern by myself and it was a wonderful souvenir!

Coming into contact with traditional textiles was truly refreshing. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, rainy days seem to make time pass more slowly, and I found those quiet moments of work deeply soothing… Every time I look at the beautiful interior pieces I created, I’m sure I’ll be reminded of that peaceful time.

It's good that I can do it quickly and easily in my spare time! It was my first time weaving, but I got really into it. It was a little difficult to adjust the yarn, but I was able to make something cute!

We took part in this workshop to create memories from our family trip. At first, I was worried the kids might get bored, but the staff were very kind and taught them at their own pace, so they were able to stay focused until the very end. The finished table centerpiece was sturdier than I had imagined, and it made for a great souvenir. I’m sure every time I look at it after we get home, it will remind me of our trip.

It went very smoothly. Even though it was a short session, I was able to have an authentic experience, and it made for a great memory. I'm very satisfied with the high quality of the finished piece. I'll definitely use this service again.

It offers excellent value for the experience. It’s not often you get the chance to use a traditional loom, so it was a truly valuable experience. The work may seem monotonous at first glance, but it’s actually quite complex and requires a lot of concentration. The table centerpiece I made was a perfect fit for my home decor. However, since you have to sit for long periods of time, it might be a bit tough for people with back problems.

Last time I tried a different activity, and since I enjoyed it so much, this time I decided to give Minsa weaving a try—something I’d been curious about. Making a large table centerpiece took a bit of patience, but the rhythm of the weaving was so soothing that I got completely absorbed in it. Looking at the finished piece fills me with a great sense of accomplishment. I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to the instructors who taught me so patiently.

My boyfriend and I gave it a try on our anniversary trip! The sound of the loom was so soothing—we both got completely absorbed in it♪ Every time I look at the table centerpiece we made, I’ll be reminded of the fun times we had on Ishigaki Island☆ It was also fun to show each other our work as we created it!

I was able to try my hand at Minsa weaving, something I’d been interested in for a while, and it was a truly fulfilling experience. The overlapping threads were beautiful, and watching the pattern gradually take shape was incredibly soothing. The instructor was very kind, and even as a beginner, I was able to weave a beautiful piece. I’ll treasure the finished piece and use it with care.

I don't usually do things like this, but I ended up really getting into it. The finished product has a cool, understated look, and it's just the right size to display in my room. It was a great experience!

I tried my hand at traditional Yaeyama Minsa weaving. At first, it seemed a little difficult, but I’m glad that even someone as clumsy as me was able to pull it off. However, the table centerpiece turned out to be larger than I expected, so it took a little longer to finish. Still, it turned out to be a lovely souvenir with the warmth of a handmade item.

I had always wanted to try mincer weaving! I knew a typhoon was coming, but I wanted to do something, so I immediately made a reservation for mincer weaving, which can be enjoyed indoors... The staff first carefully taught me by example, and I was able to weave easily and rhythmically. You can pick it up the next day or later or mail it. They neatly arranged and wrapped it for me and gave me a certificate of completion (lol). I think I'm going to get into mincer weaving normally! The small size might not have been enough for me, so I was right to choose the large size. o

I participated in this class with my wife. At first I thought it would be complicated, but the steps are relatively simple and the gentle lectures made it enjoyable even for someone like me who has no experience with knitting. The store will do the finishing work for you, so it will be beautiful. I love it at the entrance of my house. I hope you will experience a life where you are greeted by your own Minsa weaving when you come home.

I like mincer weaving, so I had a chance to experience it. Thanks to the samples and easy-to-understand explanations, I was able to weave all the way through. It was a very enjoyable time!

I had never done weaving before and was worried about how it would turn out, but with careful advice I was able to finish it in about 60 minutes. Once I got the rhythm, I was able to finish it with a thump, and it was fun.

I have always enjoyed handicrafts, but weaving was my first experience. It's fun when you get used to switching tons and tons and tons of steps in your own mind and get into a rhythm!

My wife and I experienced it together. I had always wanted to have a handmade mincer woven item, so I signed up for this class. It was very meaningful as we were taught carefully and learned the joy of weaving.
