Handmade Experiences in Miyakojima:
Will You Make a Candle or a Shisa?
At iepoyo candle we offer two handmade experiences: candle making, layering colors inspired by the Miyakojima sea and sunsets, and Shisa making, shaped and finished from clay. Both take about 90 minutes indoors, and all materials and tools are provided, so you can join with nothing to bring.

We prepare the molded lower body. You shape the face from clay, paint it in the colors you like, and it is baked in the oven to finish. Turn your Miyakojima memories into a one-of-a-kind guardian you can take home the same day.

Both are indoor experiences, so enjoy them whatever the weather
Everything is made indoors, so your plans hold even on a rainy day. If seats and materials are available, we also take same-day and day-before requests. About the rainy day indoor experience
If you would like to enjoy both candle making and Shisa making on the same day, you can ask about it when you book.
