      It might be helpful to practice making cranes and turtles before putting on your daruma . Also it’s rather difficult to find . I walked past the meeting spot without even seeing it . I had to ask 3 people for directions after the taxi dropped me off in a business section of Ginza . It was my first night and first time in Tokyo …a bit overwhelming! My leader was very helpful and knowledgeable.

      We had a fun time painting and learning about these Japanese dolls. Our session was just my husband and I so we had a one on one experience
