Japanese Calligraphy Experience at Yokohama

Free cancellation available
Up to 24 hours before the start time
Duration: 2 hours

Discover the Art of Japanese Calligraphy (Shodō)

Step into the world of shodō—a beautiful blend of art, language, and mindfulness. Unlike typical tourist activities, this hands-on experience invites you to slow down and connect deeply with Japanese culture.

As a Japanese language school, we add a unique twist to our calligraphy workshop by introducing you to some Japanese language along the way. You'll learn to write kanji using traditional tools like a brush and ink and understand their meanings, deepening your appreciation for each character.

But that’s not all—this experience also includes making your very own hanko (name stamp) using an eraser! You'll get to stamp your finished work with your personalized seal, making your creation truly one of a kind.

Perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful, meaningful, and creative cultural activity, this workshop offers more than just a souvenir—it’s a chance for self-expression, language discovery, and immersive tradition.
