This two-day festival in Kiyosumi Shirakawa may have a niche interest as it’s dedicated to natural stones and crystals. If this is your gem, you’ll be able to enjoy a small photo exhibition as well as see a number of unique stones on display. Some of them are even available for purchase.
There are two workshops taking place on September 10. You can either decorate a T-shirt with stone motifs or create jewellery out of stones and wires. The T-shirt workshop takes place from 4pm to 5.30pm and costs ¥2,500 (¥2,000 if you bring your own T-shirt). The jewellery lesson, on the other hand, is available throughout the day from 11am to 5.30pm. It’s only ¥500 but you’ll also have to pay for the stone you would like to use.
You can also join a crystal bowl meditation session on September 11 at 4pm. It’s ¥3,500 per person and you’ll need to bring a yoga matt or large towel.
Note that you must make a reservation for the meditation lesson and T-shirt workshop via email (ishi.fes.tokyo@gmail.com).
The festival takes place from 11am to 6pm on Saturday, and until 5pm on Sunday.
