This is such a wonderful way to appreciate Japanese calligraphy. It was wonderful to be shown 100+ year family wedding menu. We both really enjoyed our writing, even if we did hold our breath to try and steady our hands. Haha
Great experience in an amazing part of Kyoto. The teachers were great. They provided a brief but informative history of Japanese calligraphy and were patient and instructive. Nice way to spend a brief part of your visit to Kyoto.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the calligraphy experience and the atmosphere of our traditional townhouse in Kyoto. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the brief introduction to the history of Japanese calligraphy and our teaching. Calligraphy is not only writing characters but also a way to express one’s mind and spirit, so we are happy that you had the chance to experience this part of Japanese culture during your visit. We hope you had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto, and we would be very happy to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards, Tea Ceremony & Cultural Experience Kangetsu Kyoto
An excellent calligraphy course - everyone was super patient and took us through the art of Japanese Calligraphy. Thanks for a great experience!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the calligraphy class and felt supported throughout the experience. It’s always a pleasure to share the beauty of Japanese calligraphy in our historic townhouse. We truly appreciate your visit and hope it remains a special memory from your time in Kyoto!
Great fun but you need to concentrate. Nice peaceful (? Haha) hour. The master was great and kind and his assistant cute and helpful too.
Thank you so much for joining our calligraphy class! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the experience — even if it required some concentration 😊 Our master and assistant will be very happy to hear your kind words. We hope to welcome you again for another relaxing (and maybe a little focused!) time in Kyoto.
Enjoyable but I would prefer 90 minutes. Nice teaching but slightly rushed in 50 minutes which is common by many "courses"
Thank you very much for your feedback! Our class is designed for both children and adults. For children, 90 minutes can feel a bit long, so we aim to keep it engaging within 50 minutes. We appreciate your advice and will continue to improve so that even a 50-minute session can be fully enjoyable and satisfying.
The artists in the workshop were professional and very nice. The general atmosphere was special and we had the opportunity to meet interesting people
Thank you very much for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the workshop and felt the special atmosphere. It was our pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to see you again in Kyoto for another memorable experience!
My daughter and I really enjoyed this experience. We really enjoying seeing how well we progressed by the end and loved being able to take our final calligraphy piece how with us as a holiday momento.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very happy to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed the calligraphy experience. It was wonderful to see your progress, and we’re glad you could take home your beautiful final piece as a memory of your time in Kyoto.
Great experience at the Japanese calligraphy class with my 17 year old. The instructors were very patient (it took me quite a few tries to get it!) and we learned a lot. It was a nice change of pace during a busy 2 weeks in Japan. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad you and your 17-year-old enjoyed the calligraphy experience. It means a lot to us that it offered a nice change of pace during your busy travels. You did a wonderful job—and we're happy you stuck with it! Hope to see you again someday!
Fantastic experience with a patient and helpful teacher! We learned about the history of the language and took home an awesome souvenir from the experience!
