Fun activity and break from the city - I visited this class on a solo day I had in the Skytree area. Yoko was a great teacher and fun to talk to about the calligraphy and just in general. Spending an hour working on my shirt was a nice break from a day in the city and made a great souvenir! Would definitely recommend!

You'll love it - A fabulous moment! Our host and teacher was adorable, really amazing kindness for 1 hour. We wrote about pretty lanterns and discuss our cultural differences. It was one of our favorite moments during our trip to Japan. Thank you very much!

first Japanese character on my t shirt - i tried to replicate my first Kangi, was a nice try but far from being perfect... Funny and relaxing to talking to the owner, a Japanese lady, English speaker, we have learne a lot about japan real life. It's worth to try!

You NEED to book this activity! - There isn't enough stars to say how amazing this was. The sweet lady who hosted the event was one of the nicest people I've met in my life, let alone Japan. She was very accommodating and hand made a Kanji I wanted to do for me on the spot. She was a fantastic conversationalist, insightful and funny, made it even better. She served little homemade snacks and tea, then to top it off, gave me some extra hand made gifts she made herself. The activity was a LOT of fun and she was very helpful. I can't stress enough how much you should do this activity while in Japan. You genuinely will not regret it.
