Must do in Tokyo!! - Highly recommend doing this! It’s not as hard as you’d think to paint a fan you’re happy with and it’s such a cool souvenir to take home. I was the only person there for this workshop but the teacher was so lovely and I had a great time - and she had lots of really helpful tips and advice so I was able to paint a fan in happy with.

"Painting Fans and Making Connections: A Relaxed Art Workshop in Japan" - I just attended a fan painting workshop in Japan, and it was awesome! It's set up so everyone has what they need to paint their own fan, and the instructor is super chill—helpful but lets you do your thing. It was also a great way to meet people. Everyone's chatting and painting, and it feels more like hanging out than a formal class. The best part? You get to keep the fan you paint. It’s not just a cool way to beat the heat but also a unique piece of decor for your place. If you’re looking for something fun and cultural to do, this workshop is a great pick. Totally worth checking out!
