Kamitowa — Handmade Washi Journal Workshop in Kyoto

The hero image is AI-generated to illustrate the activity; it does not depict the venue or its actual offerings.

What You’ll Experience

Kamitowa introduces papermaking through an object you can use: a small journal. At its Kyoto workshop, you work with mulberry pulp and a papermaking screen before arranging pressed flowers in the cover.

Once the paper is dried, it becomes the cover of your journal. Wabunka says the finished book can go home with you the same day.

This is a materials-focused session: spreading fibers, choosing a design and assembling the book. Leave your pages blank for later travel notes, or ask about using the book for temple and shrine stamps.

Hareto’s Take

The Hareto Score of 85 is a provisional editorial score based on the listing information, rather than a firsthand inspection. The small finished object makes this easy to fit into a longer trip. It also gives the process a clear purpose. Allow time around the workshop and check the booking page for the current guest conditions.
