You can experience calligraphy, a traditional Japanese culture, using real tools. 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 is available in Japanese, English, Spanish, and Italian. Most calligraphy experiences take 60 to 90 minutes, but the JanDara calligraphy experience takes 180 minutes. You can communicate well with other calligraphers. Approximately 10 minutes from anywhere from Haneda Airport, Shinagawa, or Yokohama! We will rent Ota Sangyo Plaza PiO, which is a 3-minute walk from the station. This is a spacious 40 tatami Japanese-style room that can accommodate up to 54 people, where you can sit in a sitting position or sit on a horigotatsu (horizontal kotatsu) and do calligraphy with your feet down. If you are not comfortable sitting up straight, you can stretch your legs and participate in a relaxed state. For those who would like to experience the numbness of their legs while sitting seiza like an authentic Japanese person, we will prepare them so that they can experience it sitting seiza. When deciding which characters to write on colored paper, teach them the Japanese meaning. Creating Japanese names together will be a lot of fun! 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. You can also make original T-shirts and mugs in your own country since the data will remain in your possession!

You can experience calligraphy, a traditional Japanese culture, using real tools. 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. This is a spacious 40 tatami Japanese-style room that can accommodate up to 54 people, where you can sit in a sitting position or sit on a horigotatsu (horizontal kotatsu) and do calligraphy with your feet down. 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!

Located in Tokyo, this is a 3-minute walk from JR Omori Station. 1. Visit the shrine (especially at night, under the light of lanterns, it will be a precious memory). 2. A calligraphy workshop is held within the grounds of Omori Sanno Hie Shrine. In a traditional Japanese room, you can write kanji and kana using authentic brushes, washi paper, ink, and inkstones. All tools are provided, so please come empty-handed. You can take home your work (frames and seals are available upon request). The instructor is a Bunka Calligraphy Master and has also taught at several calligraphy schools in Tokyo. 3. In addition, simple tea utensils will be provided upon request, so you can also experience the tea ceremony by preparing your own matcha. 4. On the second floor of the same building, an Iwama-ryu Aikido class is held. If your schedule allows, you can also observe and participate in the class. In addition to physical techniques, weapons techniques (using swords, canes, and daggers) are also included. 5. Nearby, Omori Shell Mound Park is a great place to stroll and experience the Jomon period. Because it is not a famous Japanese landmark, you can quietly experience Japanese culture in a hidden, sacred place known only to those in the know. The precious photo opportunities and videos are sure to become fond memories of your trip. *Experiences and messaging will be available in Japanese and English only.
