I loved writing my name in Japanese.

Cristiane_H, May 2025
I liked the experience of writing my name in Japanese. Hostess Yuta and teacher Karina were great! They had a lot of patience and didactics. The teacher instructed me to write my name in Japanese even though I was a foreigner. Their English is great to understand. And I was able to bring home a very special memory.
