Tokyo: Private Calligraphy Class at Japanese Room in Shibuya

It was a fantastic experience! After days of sightseeing and walking around Tokyo, dedicating an hour to learn about japanese caligraphy, its history, techniques and how to do it properly was a really wonderful moment. Our guide explained everything really well, she was encouraging us to practice, helping us on the complicated parts, and you get to bring back home your own writing as a great souvenir you did yourself! I really recommend this experience to everybody who is around, you won't regret it.

A wonderful session - it was just us (so nice and private) and we had an amazing instructor called Honoki who was very informative and spoke fluwnt English! It was one hour which was sufficient to learn the basics of kanji, hiragana and katakana.

One of the best experiences in Tokyo. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere, the tutor was very knowledgeable not only about calligraphy but Japan in generall. Created a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

must try calligraphy experience in Japan. Right from the beginning, our Sensei Sowa was very welcoming, introduced the history of calligraphy, did few practice on the techniques and finally did our masterpiece. apart from the calligraphy itself, Sowa was open to have conversations on the associated Japanese culture and beyond. After this, we have bought our calligraphy kit and will be doing more of this at home.

The Ozaki building was easy to find, and the calligraphy teacher picked us up promptly at the entrance. The teacher, named Taku, was very friendly and patiently taught us how to write Kanji. It was a fun and memorable experience. In the end, we wrote on a special paper that we were allowed to take home with us. Overall, we found the workshop very familiar and Taku treated us in a friendly manner. Thank you.

Absolutely loved this calligraphy course! The instructor Soto broke down complex strokes into simple steps, making it accessible even for a total beginner. It’s incredibly therapeutic and I walked away with a beautiful new skill. Highly recommended!

We had a lesson with Taku and thoroughly enjoyed it! Taku was a great and patient teacher, and super knowledgable about the practice. And overall, a very enjoyable person to be around. I highly reccomend to anyone looking for a quick cultural lesson and experience that they can take home and show to their friends!

Very good experience with Kana!

Taku was great, very informative and helpful. Highly recommend if you are interested in learning calligraphy. Thank you!
