I found the brushes a bit difficult to use as the bristles were quite soft but that’s just my personal preference as a painter. Both our dolls came out looking great and we’re so happy to have them as souvenirs from our trip. It was a lovely, peaceful activity. Also, the instructions are straightforward and are provided written in English so it’s not a problem if you don’t speak Japanese. Recommend this to anyone who likes painting/art/crafts!”

Then near the end of tour, we made a short stop (15 mins) at Tenjin to show us the area before heading back to our hotel. We were expecting to visit a temple/shrine too but there was not enough time. So we were a bit disappointed. But on the whole, she is a good guide and gave us the history of the places we visited.”
