Full description
This is a 3.5-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Hoian Handicraft Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japanese craft classes are taught by practitioners who have usually done the craft for decades, and they teach it properly: calligraphy begins with how to hold the brush and grind the ink; pottery on the wheel produces a cup that is fired and posted to you weeks later; ikebana teaches the three-line structure of a Sogetsu or Ikenobo arrangement; indigo dyeing and washi papermaking are done in the workshops of the towns that specialise in them. Classes run one to three hours, materials are included, and most welcome children with a parent.
The price covers Cookies, Herbal tea or water, Coffee, English guide and master. It does not cover hotel pick up and drop-off, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hoian Handicraft Tours sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Hoian Handicraft Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I had so much fun doing both of these activities. The staff were really helpful and very friendly. also very patient with me whilst making my lantern!
the coffee making was entertaining, step by step with a pinch of humor. the lantern making was new for us, with a nice memory as result! tnx for the experience
Unbelievable. Coffee was great and the lantern making was so much fun! Highly recommend
Very fun experience allowing a chance to taste all the popular Vietnamese coffees and tap into the history of the coffee culture. The lantern making was also amghance to learn more about Vietnam and ors culture whilst expressing our creativity.
Best experience ever, from making coffees to lantern crafting. Great family run businessms, and sweetest guys. 100% recommended
Great experience the coffee making especially had a family who ran us through the experience making us laugh along the way.
That was really a good afternoon, everybody was fun and explained very well One of our best experience here
It was very fun and interesting to see and learn about all coffee types in Vietnam, and to make them and drink them. The family was very friendly and helpful. All products were fresh and equipment was professional . Then we continued to making lanterns and had so much fun! We worked together with Tam - she was amazing and funny. We really liked to create and take our creations back home. I highly recommend! :)
great activities, learnt lots about coffee culture in vietnam in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, the coffee was delicious. we were collected from the coffee making to head across the street to the lantern making, the instructors were lovely and helpful. lots of different fabric colours and patterns to choose from , a few different lantern shapes to choose, I thoroughly enjoyed my morning.
Both the coffee class and the lantern making were super fun and informative. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful.
