Itinerary
We will visit Kotonoha, a traditional Japanese house café. The café is located in an old-style Japanese home. Our first activity will be Japanese calligraphy with a professional calligraphy teacher. She will show you how to write in Japanese and also create your name in beautiful calligraphy. This is a wonderful way to experience traditional Japanese culture.
Our second activity is a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. You will make your own tea and relax inside the beautiful old Japanese house. This experience offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere, and you can also take a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the charm of the Japanese countryside.
The final activity is lunch. The restaurant serves Kobe beef in a yakiniku (grilled meat) style, along with traditional Japanese dishes such as oden and various appetizers, all served with white rice. At the end of the meal, you’ll enjoy a cup of herbal medicine tea (yakuzen-cha) and matcha jelly for dessert. The Kobe beef is incredibly tender—it melts in your mouth.

About Kobe
Kobe is a port city on Osaka Bay, set between the sea and the Rokko mountains, known for its beef, foreign-style hillside houses and hot springs.
Kobe is a long, narrow city squeezed between Osaka Bay and the Rokko Mountains, which rise steeply behind it. It opened as a treaty port in 1868, and its foreign merchants left a hillside district, Kitano, of European-style mansions, churches and cafés. Nankinmachi is a compact Chinatown. At the harbour, the red Port Tower and the Meriken Park waterfront look out over the bay.
