Was a nice experience. Sakutaro was very patient. Taught us about the different styles of calligraphy and let us pick which one we wanted to do. My husband was up for a challenge and he was patient with him being a novice. Let us choose our words and it was a memorable experience.
I liked the experience of writing my name in Japanese. Hostess Yuta and teacher Karina were great! They had a lot of patience and didactics. The teacher instructed me to write my name in Japanese even though I was a foreigner. Their English is great to understand. And I was able to bring home a very special memory.
This was a great experience. I had a brilliant time getting to know the language and writing my name in Kanji. The people who run the tour are very friendly, and it was nice chatting with them as well.
