Booked a box-making experience for our two lads for a stop off on the road trip. We had to change our booking time twice via email due to complications and they were very accommodating.When we arrived, the master box maker demonstrated the techniques of box making and showed us lots of one-off trick boxes he had made. He was funny and engaging and the kids loved this part! Then it was time to make our own, so we headed into a very hot, cramped room at the back of the shop with a girl who tried to charge myself and my husband 1000 yen, cash only, in total to watch them make it. We didn't have any cash but we had a card. The minimum was 1000 to pay on card and she still wouldn't allow it. We tried to buy something in the shop to make up the money but she still said no. It was only when a colleague stepped in and waved us through that we were able to be there at all! When we were ready to start, the same girl almost threw the box materials at us, said something in Japanese and walked away. There was no lesson and extremely minimal instruction; we had to work it out for ourselves. I would say this part of the experience was not worth it, though they came out with a cute little box in the end. Luckily we were clever enough to work it out ourselves. The boys were not particularly impressed. They could have done with a fan back there too! The museum was cool and they enjoyed the demo at the beginning.
