Top Onna-son Classes & Workshops

You will experience three Japanese traditional cultures - Tea Ceremony, Flower Arrangement, and Calligraphy - in one day. SASAGIRIAN is the only facility where you can experience all of these three Japanese cultures in one place and in one day in Okinawa. You will learn the history and manners of each culture from our experienced instructors. By wearing a simple kimono, you will write Japanese letters with a Japanese brush, have Japanese and Okinawan sweets and make macha green tea, and finally arrange tropical flowers and plants. If you come to Japan, why don't you spend a special day to feel Japanese culture at SASAGIRIAN? Each experience is available in English and Japanese. You will learn about the spirit of Zen and Japanese culture in the Japanese traditional room in Onna Village in Okinawa. * Minimum 2 people, maximum 8 people * Reservation required at least 3 days before the experience.

Join a hands-on cultural experience where you'll make chinsuko, a traditional Okinawan sweet, and roast hojicha (roasted green tea), both using ingredients sourced entirely from Okinawa. Create and taste chinsuko (with some to take home), made with Okinawan flour, sugar, and lard. Roast and enjoy hojicha using local tea leaves. This experience is hosted by a local restaurant owner and offers a delicious introduction to Okinawan sweets and tea culture. Chinsuko is known for its light, crunchy texture and mild sweetness—an island favorite for generations.

There are various types of Japanese letters, such as kanji, hiragana, and katakana, and you will experience writing all of them or you can select the one you like. Our experienced instructor will teach you with kind and understandable explanation. The world of calligraphy drawn with a brush and ink is limitless. Enjoy the time to face the Japanese paper in front of you with a unified mind. You will experience the importance of writing letters with all your heart and the depth and the possibilities of calligraphy. Everyone is welcome . *Minimum 2 people, maximum 8 people *Reservation required at least 3 days before the experience
