A very nice experience at a very low cost. It was nice because the staff was really nice and helpful especially because there were 10 of us and therefore with different personalities. It was fun writing our name down!
our teacher was very nice and kind and patient to show us the techniques of calligraphy. It was worth the drive out and something memorable that we did as a family and we have a piece of art work we made to take home.
This was a really fun experience! Learned about Japanese language as well. Host is super friendly and kind.
This was really fun. I was the only participant, so the intimacy made it even better. The location is easy to get to by metro and is located inside a hostel. My teacher was the sweetest woman who spoke great English and was very patient with me, even though I'm apparently terrible at calligraphy. (She's also a food artist, showing me the beautiful flower sushi rolls she made.) Over the course of the one-hour class, she taught me about the history of calligraphy, the tools used, the various brush strokes, and let me practice a ton. At the end, I created my final "masterpiece" to take home and she thoughtfully put it in a protective sleeve to endure the journey. I definitely recommend this class if you're looking for a unique experience in Tokyo!
We had a great time! Good explanation and a nice souvenir for our trip to Japan!
Great! Did some calligraphy, the teacher was nice, and it didn't take too long
We were a group of three and we had an amazing time! Sachie sensei was amazing, very kind and methodical. Really recommend!
Great experience. Instructor Sachie was very patient. Will recommend this to my friends too. Next time I will take longer class if possible. Learned a lot in short time
Amazing inversive experience! In 2-3 hours I learned so much from the very delightful and patient lady, Sashie? Not sure of her name, but she was an INCREDIBLE teacher. In just a little while I was able to do a beautiful calligraphy gift for a friend of mine who’s helped me through tragedy of losing my beloved hubby. We both dreamt of visiting Japan, sadly, I had to go solo. Highly recommend this class, it is WELL WORTH the money. The teacher made such an impression and was so encouraging , I’m now taking a class online for beginning Japanese including Hiragana characters. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
An excellent experience with a friendly and helpful teacher and it was great fun. I was the only pupil so I had a personal lesson! I tried to learn how to write “knitting” in Japanese which involves complicated characters!! But it was good to try and makes a lightweight souvenir!
