Our family tried our hand at painting Shisa figurines. It was great that we could enjoy it even on a rainy day. The kids were completely engrossed, but the 90 minutes flew by—I wish we’d had a little more time, so I’m giving it 4 stars.

It rained during our trip and we had to make a reservation on short notice, but we were able to make a reservation on the same day, which was very helpful. Painting the Shi-sa was fun, even for adults, and I was very happy to be able to make my own cute Shi-sa.

I've never been good at drawing, so to be honest, I was a little nervous, but since the shape was already there and all I had to do was paint it, it was totally fine even for a beginner. As I gradually layered on the colors I wanted, I started to grow attached to my very own Shisa... and I was able to enjoy the process all the way to the end. I've already put the finished piece on display in my room.

We stopped by here during a family trip. There’s a wide variety of painting options, so even adults can really enjoy themselves. If I had to nitpick, I think it would have been nice to have a few more brush sizes to choose from so we could paint more detailed patterns. That said, overall, we were very satisfied.

Since it’s an indoor activity, it’s awesome that you can have a blast without worrying about the weather at all, even on days when it suddenly starts raining! It’s so much fun to lose yourself in the moment and paint it in colorful patterns just the way you like—before I knew it, I’d completely lost track of time and was totally absorbed in it☆ The finished piece is perfect for displaying in your room. If you ever visit Ishigaki Island, be sure to give it a try♪

I tried painting a seersucker with my child. Thanks to the staff's kindness and careful advice to my child, we were able to complete the project without getting bored until the end. I am satisfied that it became a good souvenir for my family! If I had a wish, it would have been better if there were more kinds of colors.

At first, I wasn’t sure what kind of face to draw, but I worked on it while discussing ideas with my husband. Next, I had to add the fine details, but my hands were shaking… (sweat) Still, I think that actually added a unique charm that only a handmade piece can have. I was really grateful that we could spend some relaxing time together without getting wet, even on a rainy day. That said, it would have been easier to paint if there had been a few more types of brushes to choose from.

My husband and I participated together. The process of gradually applying layers of color to the pure white shisa required more concentration than we expected, but it was very rewarding. The instructor’s guidance was spot-on, and even as beginners, we were able to create pieces with real character. We’ve already displayed the pair of shisa we made at our front entrance. We’re grateful for the opportunity to experience Okinawa’s wonderful culture.

I went alone, but I was able to enjoy myself without feeling self-conscious. The time spent quietly painting at my own pace was perfect for forgetting about my daily routine and feeling refreshed. It was also nice that the staff members occasionally struck up friendly conversations with me. The shisa I made turned out a little awkward-looking, but it has a certain charm. It would have been even better if there had been a wider variety of paints available.

At first, I wasn’t sure what color to choose, but there were lots of sample Shisa on display, which really helped. Next, I used a brush to paint little by little—this turned out to be more fun than I expected, and I found myself completely lost in the moment (sweat). The staff watched over me warmly, so I was able to work at my own pace. If I had to nitpick, I wish the hand-washing area had been a little bigger…

Making Shisa with her was seriously so much fun lol. I just painted them based on my intuition, but they turned out surprisingly well—I was so excited! It was raining, but since we were indoors, it wasn’t a problem at all! It was a great memory from our trip to Ishigaki Island!
