Tokyo Asakusa:Calligraphie et faire T-shirt Activité

great family activity, fun for all of us, 80, 47 and 11 year old - plus we get to go home with a wonderful souvenir

Location is really easy to find. Just follow the directions provided. Staff is amazing/friendly. We arrived about 30min early and they were more than happy to accommodate us (ie didnt make us wait) which was great because we could fit more things into our day. Staff was also really patient. Really have no complaints. Everything was as advertised and expected.

The entire experience was amazing. We learned how to write, were able to practice with lots of coaching, and then made our own t-shirts and scrolls. An experience not to be missed!

Really fun activity ! Mana was an excellent teacher that was really kind and joyful, she was also really knowledgeable and a calligraphy expert!

My 10 year and I had a lovely afternoon practicing the letters and learning about calligraphy. Mana was very friendly and welcoming

Great father-son experience! Fun and we learnt a lot. Great to design t-shirts with our own new calligraphy skills too.

I’m 1/2 Taiwanese and have always wanted to learn Japanese calligraphy as part of my heritage—the Japanese adopted Chinese characters - referred to as Kanji (漢字) for their writing system in the 5th century CE; it was a deeply meaningful to experience it firsthand. I found this class on TripAdvisor and booked an experience, and I’m so glad I did! From the start, communication was excellent. My flight to Tokyo was delayed, and since the airport is about an hour away from their studio, they kindly rescheduled my session without any hassle. They were so patient and accommodating throughout. The instructor’s artistic skill is absolutely incredible— her calligraphy is truly beautiful. She guided me with such care, letting me practice for as long as I wanted, and made the whole experience unforgettable. I even bought tools to keep practicing at home! 😅🤭. They also let me do my own phrase which was “Ya Ya (my name to my grandkids) and Doki Doki” - the literal translation made my daughters and me giggle (means a Ya Ya “little bit” excited like the sound of a heart flutter) as in we’re excited to see Ya Ya 😍🤭 - ややドキドキ - I bought extra t-shirts so I could let some of my grandkids have them! Thank you so much for sharing your artistry and patience—it was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. 🙏✨

This was such nice experience. Ken Ji and Mana are the best hosts you can get. If you want to try calligraphy in Japan don’t miss this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful experience, the staff were very welcoming, encouraging and helpful. We were able to learn a bit of history, very short which was good because i was keen to start and were then guided to make our own special t- shirt. Go, If you can and enbrace yourself in the experience.

Had an amazing time. Patient instructor, giving us time to work on the basics before moving onto writing our Kanji for our t-shirt. Being left handed was acknowledged, and instructor was quite happy to see the difference in results.
