I cannot recommend this place more! It poured like crazy the day we were in the area so we ended up spending a whole afternoon designing and crafting some glass mugs! Staff understood limited English but it was enough for them to communicate with us. They were all very polite and helpful and the environment was peaceful. My husband and I really enjoyed our afternoon here. I would definitely recommend anyone who’s into crafting to check out this place. Note though, that there is an entrance fee if you don’t have the Hakone Free Pass and you’d also have to pay for parking at the nearest carpark.

Awesome option especially for a rainy day (but would have been worth it regardless) We did the glassblowing experience. It’s supposed to last only 15 minutes each and wondered that might feel short but it was very exciting and felt like a long time. For glassblowing you get to pick your shape, colors, and any any extras and you get to help make it. We got to “help” more than I would have thought - it was very fun. They didn’t speak a lot of English but enough not to get burned :) If you are still in Japan 5 days later they can ship to your hotel, or else ship overseas for more.

This is the perfect place of you want to try your hand at new crafts. Thw booking proces is long and the reception staff speak very basic English, although they make a great effort. The instructors are great and patient. They make sure you always have a nice souvenir to take back home, whatever your skill level. I took the glass blowing and wheel-throwing class. Bear in mind that the glass has to be cooled and you can’t take it home straight away. Shipping to Europe costs more than the whole experience, so don’t leave this for your last days in Japan.

Hakone Crafthouse offers an unforgettable experience of making your own glass bead, truly worth a lifetime of memories. The process is engaging and fulfilling, allowing you to create a unique keepsake that you can pick up and take home on the same day. The staff is exceptionally patient and dedicated, working closely with you to bring your design to life. Their expertise and supportive guidance ensure that even beginners can craft something beautiful. If you're looking for a hands-on creative activity in Hakone, this is an excellent choice.

It was a good experience. You get to melt and shape your own cristal little ball, that then you can use for a necklace, keychain,... Or a pair of earings as I did. You have to wait a bit for It to cool down, but you get to enjoy yourself in the wait by picking any other charm you want to add to your creation! I loved the experience of learning how the glass bids are done. All that said, you dont know how much It would cost until the end. So taking home a pair of handmade earings wasnt cheap, but for me worth it

We made a brief stop in the Hakone region during our family trip to Japan, and came to the Gora Park to see the beautiful gardens. We stopped at the Hakone Craft House and did Kiriko and loved the experience. None of us had any previous experience with this type of art, but our instructor, Matsui, patiently worked with us even though the language barrier to make a beautiful glass and plate. I'd highly recommend this of your in the area. They even offer a discount of you have a Hakone Free Pass!
