I had an amazing... - I had an amazing experience! I highly recommend do this calligraphy lesson if you are in Tokyo. The teacher went above and beyond. She even took photos and videos so I can have as memories. My phone failed the airdrop of the photos at the end of the class and I didn't even realize it until I got back to my hotel. I reached out through Viator and ask her if I could have the photos via email. She is so kind and sent me the photos via a link. 5 stars service! Thanks again for a great experience 🙏

Highly recommend - We have enjoyed it very much. The hosts were kind, considerate and very patient with my lack of calligraphy skills. We were shown a video and did a practice kanji and then off we went to write a kanji of our choice, followed by our name from kanji. At the end we received a stamp with our name + some of the artwork we have created. Have to mention that we were not rushed at all. Session ended 20 minutes later than planned, so thank you so much for your time!

A very relaxing experience - I really enjoyed the experience, the ladies were very nice, friendly and patient and let us practice multiple times the same kanji. I am happy I had the opportunity to write my name and a few other kanjis. Getting a drink included is a nice touch and we left with a fan and a stamp with our name! I highly recommend it. Thank you!

Best Japanese calligraphy class in central Roppongi - Kanako sensei and Tomoko were amazing and patient. They provided detailed instruction in English which was good as this was our first time. We would highly recommend this experience as your able to create a number of lovely keepsakes in this class.
