Highlights

Slow down and experience the timeless art of Japanese calligraphy in this beginner-friendly workshop. In a relaxed setting, you’ll learn essential techniques and etiquette while enjoying the meditative process of brush and ink. The experience begins with preparing ink on a traditional inkstone, followed by step-by-step instruction on brush handling and character formation. Finally, you’ll create your own calligraphy piece on decorative paper—choosing from a prepared list of characters or writing one based on your own name. This finished work becomes a unique keepsake and a meaningful way to connect with Japanese culture through art.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
