Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $212 a day this sits above the $140 median for traditional & survival. It is cheaper than 2 of the 10 traditional & survival options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Japan
- 7 other options in Japan, starting with kintsugi and ceramic repair in Kyoto from $400.
- When to go
- Runs year-round, so this one bends around your calendar rather than the other way about.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 2 days, but the honest range is 1 to 5. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
