MIYAKO RESIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions we are asked most often before booking the Miyako Resin art experience. If anything is still unclear, please feel free to contact us.
Frequently asked questions
Q.Can I do the workshop on rainy days?
Yes! Miyako Resin is a fully indoor workshop, so you can enjoy it safely on rainy days. It is one of the most popular rainy-day activities for visitors to Miyakojima.
Q.Can I take my piece home the same day?
The resin needs about 24 hours to fully cure, so same-day pickup is not possible. You may either pick it up at our studio the next day or have it shipped to you. Shipping within Japan is free. We ship artworks within three days of the workshop. International shipping is charged separately. We provide a quote in person based on the destination country or region, shipping distance, and parcel weight. The typical estimate is JPY 1,500–2,500, payable on the workshop day.
Q.Is there parking?
Free street parking is available near the studio. Please ask our staff if you are unsure where to park.
Q.Is there a dress code?
Resin can be hard to remove from clothing once it sticks, so please wear something you don't mind getting messy. Aprons are not currently provided, so please be careful around your sleeves.
Q.How long does the workshop take?
It depends on the plan, but please allow up to 120 minutes. We work at your pace.
Q.Can I cancel or change my reservation?
Cancellations and changes are free up to the day before. Same-day cancellations incur a 100% cancellation fee.
Q.Do I need a reservation? Can I join on the day?
We recommend booking in advance. Depending on availability we may be able to take same-day guests, so feel free to contact us by phone, LINE or Instagram.
Q.What is the minimum age?
There is no age limit at our studio. Small children can participate with a parent or guardian. See our pricing and menu page for projects currently available.
Q.What payment methods are accepted?
We accept cash and credit cards.
Q.Can I join on my own?
Of course — solo guests are welcome. Families and groups can each make their own piece (priced per person).
Q.Can the piece be a souvenir or a gift?
Yes. A one-of-a-kind resin artwork is a popular choice as a Miyakojima souvenir or anniversary gift, and we can ship it to you.
Q.Is guidance available in English or other languages?
We don't offer explanations in foreign languages, but our staff will communicate with gestures and plenty of passion! Many guests from overseas join us, so please don't worry.
Q.Can I join while pregnant?
Yes, you can. The studio is well ventilated. Please don't push yourself, and feel free to let our staff know on the day if you have any concerns.
Q.Can I book on the same day if it suddenly rains?
Yes — same-day bookings are very welcome whenever seats are available. If rain frees up your schedule, just call us, message us on LINE, or use the booking form.
Q.Is the studio close to the airport?
About 5 minutes by car from Miyako Airport, convenient on your arrival or departure day. Free street parking is available nearby.
Q.What if my artwork does not arrive or arrives damaged?
Please contact us promptly at 080-1032-3745 if your artwork has not arrived or is damaged. If it is damaged, keep the artwork, outer box, packing materials, and shipping label, and take photos of the damage and packaging. We will check the delivery status, cause, and carrier compensation terms, then explain the next steps.
