Great experience, wonderful hosts. It was so much more than just a drawing tutorial. It was engaging and we learned a lot.They even took some nice pictures of my whole family in front of the cherry blossoms before my wife and son split off from us to do another activity (they love manga, don't enjoy drawing). It was a great break from running around Tokyo. Don't hesitate!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

It means a lot to know you were able to both enjoy the creative side and learn something new along the way. We’re also glad you and your family enjoyed the time together, including the photos by the cherry blossoms—those moments often become some of the best travel memories.
