Then, experience a traditional matcha tea ceremony conducted by a professional instructor. You will learn the proper etiquette and enjoy a demonstration by a skilled tea master. Next, you'll participate in a Japanese sweets-making session guided by the third-generation owner of a long-established wagashi shop in Sakai City. With extensive experience teaching abroad, he will provide expert instruction. Finally, you'll try your hand at tsumami-zaiku, a traditional craft that involves folding small squares of silk or chirimen fabric with tweezers to create intricate patterns of seasonal flowers and butterflies. This technique has been passed down since the Edo period. You will make an accessory to take home as a beautiful souvenir from Japan. ※The experience does not include kimono rental.

Our experience offers a one-of-a-kind cultural journey into Sakai, the historic samurai city known for its master craftsmanship and deep-rooted traditions.

With hands-on experiences guided by local artisans, you'll gain a profound appreciation for Japan’s craftsmanship and samurai spirit, making this tour not just a visit, but a truly unforgettable cultural adventure.

The location of the event is very convenient, with both JR and Kintetsu lines running through the area. It is also easily accessible from Umeda and Namba, and can be reached in about 30 minutes. There is a large library in front of the venue, a famous sandwich shop, a Chinese restaurant, and an ice cream shop nearby. You will be able to fully experience the beauty of Japanese yuzen washi paper. Choose your favorite one from a variety of colorful yuzen washi. Weave your own original kimono. Japanese instructors, who are usually active as English conversation teachers, will teach you carefully and slowly, so beginners don't worry. Two types of kimono works are available for you to fold.
