Unlike the calligraphy sets you can buy at shopping malls or schools, we use calligraphy tools procured from traditional calligraphy shops, so it's perfect for those who want to get a taste of the real thing and Japanese culture. This plan will be conducted in Japanese. This is for international students to improve their Japanese and to have more communication with their host families and companions who understand Japanese. (You can bring up to 4 companions with each application for free.) Most calligraphy experiences usually take 60 to 90 minutes, but the JanDara calligraphy experience takes 120 minutes. You can enjoy the experience and communicate with Japanese people, not just "written with a brush". We will rent Ota Sangyo Plaza PiO, which is about 10 minutes from Haneda Airport, Shinagawa, and Yokohama, and a 3-minute walk from the station.

It is quite difficult to enjoy this atmosphere at home or school. When deciding on the characters to write on the colored paper, it's a great way to make a Japanese name together while teaching the meaning of the Japanese word! At the end of the experience, you will eat Japanese sweets. You can take the completed work home with you. Not only that, you can scan your work and hand it over as data, so you can post it on SNS, make a record, make an announcement, or create materials. Since the data remains at hand, you can do something wonderful, such as giving a T-shirt or mug with the characters printed on it, years later!

The water is boiled over charcoal, making it mellow and even more delicious. The sound of boiling water and the sound of a mortar when grinding matcha is called "matsukaze". It's a very healing sound ~ ☆ Trivia ☆ The beginning of Matcha was brought back by Eisai Zen Master when he went to China to study Zen Buddhism at the end of the 12th century. It is said to be tea fruit and Yagen, and was used to make medicine. Tea was also a medicine, so I still recommend "How about a cup of tea?" ☆ Plan contents ☆ Nanao's specialty "soybean candy" + matcha ¥ 500 How about taking a break? !!
