This hands-on craft experience is hosted a kintsugi artisan, Satoko, who has been teaching the art and philosophy of this traditional Japanese technique in Kyoto for several years.

The workshop begins with a relaxing tea time, during which you'll be able to get to know your host and learn about her background in kintsugi. From there, you'll learn the history and aesthetics of kintsugi while handling finished pieces created by your host. As you admire the gold-lined cracks, Satoko will walk you through each step of the process and introduce the traditional tools and materials you’ll use — including some that you’ll prepare by hand.

Then, it’s time to practice. You’ll repair a broken ceramic piece using lacquer and real gold powder — that draws the eye to the details. Throughout the session, your hosts offer individual guidance to ensure your piece becomes a personal and beautiful expression of this philosophy.

Set in a private room in a Kyoto restaurant, this experience is completely private for you to enjoy the traditional kintsugi process. Your host has extensive experience as a kintsugi artisan and is a dedicated teacher who has introduced international guests to kintsugi through years of patient, thoughtful instruction.

Unlike many modern-day kintsugi workshops that have been modified to simplify or speed up the process for large groups of guests, this experience remains true to traditional materials and processes. It’s designed to give you an authentic kintsugi experience using the highest quality natural materials. You will even use real gold powder - which is the traditional material used in kintsugi – so you can achieve the most stunning results from your hard work in the studio.

Kintsugi teaches that flaws and breaks are not just part of life, but sites of beauty and resilience — where repair becomes art, and damage transforms into gold.

** Participants must be over 10 years old. 

Nothing is required to be brought for this experience, but please be aware that urushi lacquer is derived from a plant which can cause skin irritation which ranges from minor to moderate. While your hosts take great care to ensure you do not come in direct contact with the lacquer, if you have particularly sensitive skin, please consider whether this experience is appropriate for you or contact the Experience Makers for advice. The host also requests that participants be over 10 years old.

This experience is held at the address in the map (225 Owaricho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-0934). Your host will contact you with details about the location post-booking.

Satoko Naito spent a formative eight-year period in Europe and speaks French, English, and Japanese. She discovered kintsugi after that, and for a decade since, she has devoted herself to mastering this art of repair. She regards kintsugi as a philosophy — a poetic expression of imperfection and renewal. Today, she is delighted to share it not only as a craft, but as l'art de vivre (the art of living).

Satoko emphasizes traditional kintsugi — using natural urushi lacquer, patient curing times, and deliberate methods rather than shortcuts — to offer students an authentic, slow, and deeply rewarding experience. In this workshop, she ensures you work with thoughtfully prepared materials and receive guidance at every stage. Your finished piece will reflect the beauty and resilience found in restoration.

Portugal

This hands-on workshop offers rare access to one of Portugal’s most endangered crafts: Bisalhães black pottery, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. In a small mountain village north of Vila Real, just a few remaining artisans keep this tradition alive.

You’ll step into a rustic, working atelier to see how local earth, fire, and ancestral technique come together to form these matte-black pieces. After a live demonstration of traditional hand-molding, you’ll take a seat at the wheel to shape your own, guided step-by-step by the master potter.

If weather allows, you’ll also witness the outdoor firing process—where pine needles and broom branches are used to stoke the open-air kiln. This method turns raw clay into its distinct black finish, a transformation unchanged for generations. Your completed piece is then fired, carefully packaged, and shipped to your home — a tactile memory of Douro, shaped by your own hands.

In Bisalhães, black clay pottery has been shaped by hand for centuries—but today, only a few master potters still practice this endangered art. This experience offers rare, personal access to one of them, in a setting far from the commercial workshops of larger towns.

Inside the workshop, you’ll learn how the clay is prepared, shaped and dried using traditional tools—some passed down through families—and how the outdoor kilns, fueled by pine and broom, are smothered post-fire with moss, earth and sand to lock in the signature matte-black finish. The method is entirely natural: no glaze, no paint, just earth and fire.

Under the artisan’s guidance, you’ll craft a piece using age-old techniques, then watch as it’s hardened by fire into a singular object. First documented in 1709 and inscribed in 2016 on UNESCO’s Urgent Safeguarding List, this practice is at risk—but alive. This is a direct act of preservation, a moment to connect to a cultural practice shaped by place, patience, touch.

Türkiye

This is a day-long journey into the trade life of Istanbul—told through its markets, caravan inns, and shared meals. This walking tour crosses from the old merchant quarters of the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar to the everyday rhythms of Kadıköy, weaving through Ottoman courtyards, the "hans", and backstreet cafés along the way. You’ll visit a working caravanserai, meet a craftsperson keeping old trades alive, see rare views of the city from various points, and sit down to the same dishes traders still eat today—sour soups, lentil köfte, helva, mussels, meze. You’ll walk through wholesale alleys behind the Spice Bazaar and visit the Süleymaniye complex—once a spiritual and logistical nerve center of the empire. Then you’ll cross the Bosphorus by ferry, stepping into the present-day hum of market life on the Asian side. This is the story of Istanbul—told through trade routes, shared meals, and the spaces in between.

This is the perfect experience if you have limited time in Istanbul and want to spend a day really immersing in the markets, life and stories of the past and present. 

You’ll walk the actual paths of merchants—through caravan inns, passages, mosque courtyards, and side streets still lined with trade. In and around the Grand Bazaar, you’ll meet craftspeople working from the same hans used by Silk Road traders. In Tahtakale, you’ll snack where delivery boys and porters do. At Süleymaniye, you’ll stand in a mosque complex designed not just for prayer, but for feeding and sheltering the city's workers and travelers. And in Kadıköy, you’ll taste the present: fish, pickles, olives, meze—sold where Byzantium once stood. You won’t be guided by landmarks. You’ll be guided by habits—where people have eaten, traded, gathered, and moved for centuries. This is a tour of food and trade, but also of time—of what endures, and what Istanbul still remembers.

Begin in the backstreets behind the Grand Bazaar, tracing the paths once walked by camel caravans carrying silk, spice, and ceramics into the city. You'll see what a "Han" is, a rare surviving caravanserai, where merchants once slept above their stored goods and conducted trade in the courtyard below. You'll meet working craftspeople—perhaps a silversmith tapping out a filigree pendant or a textile expert unrolling handwoven fabric.  

You'll discover the grand courtyard of Valide Han, Istanbul’s largest historic caravanserai built in the mid-1600s. At its height, this bustling hub served as a center for merchants from across the Ottoman Empire—storing goods, hosting travelers, and facilitating trade in spices, silk, carpets, and more. As you explore its vaulted galleries and stone chambers, your guide will bring to life the story of Ottoman commerce to life.

Most visits to the Grand Bazaar stick to the shops. This takes you behind the scenes—into the living architecture and working culture that still animate the commercial heart of Istanbul. You'll get into the daily pulse of the Bazaar to eat where the traders do: a quiet spot serving tripe soup, lentil köfte, or white beans in tomato—flavors that haven’t changed in decades. You'll observe, listen, and eat where merchants still do -- and see places that would be nearly impossible to find on your own. 

Walking Tour segment in Grand Bazaar behind-the-scenes with artisans, tradespeople, food stalls.

Grand Bazaar Behind-the-Scenes

Enter the Spice Bazaar, still thick with scent and sound since 1660. Walk beneath its vaulted ceilings lined with saffron, sumac, and dried hibiscus sold by families who've worked the same stalls for generations. From there, slip behind the scenes into Tahtakale—one of Istanbul’s least understood but most vital trade arteries. This wholesale district still hums with activity: dried goods in sacks, hardware stacked in back alleys, and passageways filled with carts and crates. You’ll visit a seed seller or a traditional coffee roaster, sample a bite of pastırma or briny olives, and see warehouses that once handled goods from the Golden Horn—now selling lanterns, metalwork, and bulk tools.

Tahtakale is where trade still breathes, not where tourists linger. Most don’t realize this system runs parallel to the bazaar’s more curated front. You’re not just seeing where things are sold—you’re seeing how a city moves goods through its bones. This stage offers a tactile sense of logistics: the noise, the repetition, the stories behind every crate and counter.

Walk through Spice Bazaar and backstreets of Tahtakale, tasting goods,  tracing the supply lines

Spices and Side Streets

Climb toward one of Istanbul’s architectural high points—Süleymaniye Mosque, designed by imperial architect Mimar Sinan in the 16th century. This was once a civic hub. Visit the former caravanserai, the soup kitchen (imaret) that fed the poor, and the medical clinic (darüşşifa) that served travelers and locals alike. As you move through the complex, you’ll see how Ottoman ideals of charity, urban planning, and commerce were woven together. Pause in the courtyard to take in panoramic views of the Golden Horn, then, if time allows, sit for helva and tea at a nearby terrace café still frequented by porters and theology students.

Süleymaniye is a beautiful site. The route will stay in the courtyard and grounds and the include the incredible views. Your guide will explain how this is also a working model of Ottoman urban design. This part of the tour reveals how empire-era Istanbul was structured to serve body, soul, and society through tightly interlinked institutions. You’ll see how infrastructure shaped public life. And you’ll appreciate how Istanbul’s waterways shaped its character — from commerce to culture — and enjoy a stunning panorama of Sinan’s masterpiece mosque, dating to 1550‑57. 

Walk in Süleymaniye’s mosque complex where Ottoman trade, charity, and faith once worked in unison

Faith, Trade & Social Design

Take the ferry across the Bosphorus to Kadıköy, once known as Chalcedon—now one of the most dynamic neighborhoods on the Asian side. Walk through its market streets: fruit stands heavy with pomegranates, pickle shops filled with barrels of lemony brine, and fishmongers calling out the catch of the day. Then head to Yeldeğirmeni, a lesser-known neighborhood where former trade buildings now house artist studios, cafés, and co-ops. The day closes with a shared plate of meze at a simple spot tucked off the main drag—maybe stuffed mussels, maybe fried anchovies—eaten to the soundscape of Istanbul's modern rhythm.

This is where you cross over to modern market life. Kadıköy is a lived-in, working district. You’re entering a continuation of the same story of trading, commerce and food, carried by food, space, and daily life. It’s a reminder that Istanbul’s past isn’t just behind us—it’s still being cooked, sold, ferried, and lived.

Step inside a working Buddhist temple in Osaka and spend several hours following the rhythms of a monk’s day. You’ll meet your hosts - a practicing monk who also works as an architect, and Zane, who has spent ten years in Japan studying religious and cultural traditions. Then you’ll change into the traditional robes of a monk and begin a series of mindful rituals.

First, a guided meditation and the practice of shakyo: hand-copying sutras in the form of kanji characters using brush and ink. This is a daily ritual for monks, intended to steady the mind before service. Outside, you’ll assist in sweeping the temple grounds - a brief, meaningful act of service and discipline.

Midday, you’ll share a shojin ryori meal: a simple, seasonal vegetarian lunch prepared in the Buddhist tradition. Zane provides translation, insights and context throughout.

At the end of the day, you’ll receive either a goshuin (temple stamp) or omamori (amulet)—a small marker of your day as a monk in Osaka.

Most introductions to monastic life in Japan take place in rural retreats. This temple is an active religious site in the grid of central Osaka. You’ll speak with the monks about their lives, explore the overlaps and tensions between secular and spiritual paths, and observe how Buddhist tradition is preserved and adapted in a modern context.

The monk who leads the experience also works as an architect. His approach integrates design with ritual. His wife prepares the mid-day meal using principles of shojin ryori passed down through temple tradition. Zane, who has spent a decade in Japan, helps translate both language and context, offering interpretation that clarifies without interrupting the cadence of the day.

This experience exists because of their friendship. The access comes through trust and invitation. Their hospitality and passion for sharing Japanese culture are generous. You’ll come away with insight and understanding of a world that usually stays closed to outsiders.

This tour is led by a passionate food and culture enthusiast who calls this region home and genuinely loves this extraordinary land. This is a heartfelt expedition through the guide's hometown, where every story, every viewpoint, and every landmark is infused with personal narratives and local insights.

This is a stunning itinerary — a true slow-burn, full of history, nature, food, and texture. 

Sicily stretches between earth and sky—an island of contrast and continuity, where every hill, breeze, and coastline carries the weight of story. This seven-day itinerary moves with intention across that spectrum, from mountain to monastery, vineyard to volcano, cathedral to coast. It begins in Palermo, where gold mosaics shimmer inside Monreale Cathedral and narrow streets echo with centuries of layered life.

From there, the journey leads west to Erice, where mist clings to medieval towers, then down to the Zingaro Reserve—where cliffs and coves open up to the sea. In Marsala, you’ll encounter a different kind of landscape: windmills, salt flats, and the crisp, mineral pull of local wine. These aren’t stops—they're textures in a deeper conversation with place.

Midweek, you shift eastward, through Agrigento’s ancient Greek temples and the baroque turns of Ragusa and Modica. A cooking class in the countryside offers something slower: olive oil, family knowledge, and time shared under trees. Siracusa invites further stillness, with Ortigia’s quiet beauty and Marzamemi’s soft, seaside rhythm.

The final stretch leads upward—to Mount Etna, where Sicily’s volcanic heart breathes in silence and smoke. From there, a descent into Taormina for one last night: open-air theater, coastal views, and a closing meal with the city lit behind you.
