Experience Japanese calligraphy, a popular cultural activity in Japan! This hands-on experience is perfect for travelers who want to explore traditional Japanese culture. Calligraphy not only improves handwriting, but also helps develop good posture and concentration. You’ll learn how to hold a brush correctly, sit with proper posture, prepare the ink, and write beautiful kanji characters with a brush. At the end of the session, you can choose a unique item — such as a shikishi board, uchiwa fan, folding fan, daruma doll, wind chime, or hanging scroll — to decorate with your calligraphy and take home as a special souvenir from Japan. The item is included in the experience fee. No prior experience is necessary — beginners are welcome!

Regarding the use of translation software: Our guides are proficient in everyday English conversation and basic Mandarin Chinese. However, to facilitate communication with a wider range of people, we also utilize translation devices for explanations. This enables us to overcome language barriers and foster easier communication with non-English speakers, promoting a more relaxed atmosphere for interaction.

It is a course to enjoy the traditional kimono dressing experience representing Japanese culture in a short time. It can be dressed in a short time, so it doesn't overwhelm your schedule. I use a WASOMI kimono that is light and does not get tired even if I wear it. You can walk freely to the Hakata area wearing kimono during 3 hours of free time.
