Tucked away in an alley along the lively Sumida River is a hidden gem of an atelier. Why not casually experience the beauty of Japanese tradition in this comfortable, Wamodern space?

During breaks in your creation, traditional Japanese tea and seasonal wagashi will be served. Indulge in a moment that satisfies all five senses in a relaxed atmosphere. Since it is a small-group setting of up to [Insert Max Number] people, the instructor will provide meticulous, hands-on support even for first-timers.

What To Expect

Guests who make reservations with proposed dates from their requests will have a smoother experience. (Please note that if the payment is not completed, it will be considered a cancellation.) Due to work circumstances, it may be difficult to set up, so we appreciate your understanding. Our small atelier, previously located in Shintomicho, has moved to a charming alley near the Sumida River with old-town flair since March of this year. It is a 2-minute walk from Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, a 10-minute walk from Ningyocho Station on the Hibiya Line, and a 7-minute walk from Suitengumae Station on the Hanzomon Line. Why not enjoy the atmosphere and experience a convenient-to-take-home bonsai-style arrangement? The experience takes place in our small atelier. First, we welcome you with tea and traditional Japanese sweets. After a short break and relaxation, we explain how to create the bonsai arrangement. The materials include faux moss and dried flowers. You'll create a palm-sized bonsai-style object. We use hot glue to secure the pieces, making it durable. Since it is a fake bonsai, you can take it abroad!

Everything was prepared and also the teacher can help you make a nice design! I think this is also a great gift to bring back home as you can’t really bring real bonsai plants through immigration, it is a cool alternative and also something you can be proud of making!
Fun bonsai workshop!

I had a wonderful time at this bonsai workshop! The sensei was incredibly kind and patient, guiding us through each step with great care. What I really loved was the variety of choices available—we could select different trees, pots, and styles to truly create our own unique bonsai. It was such a pleasant and authentic Japanese cultural experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and I found myself completely focused and immersed in the process, which made it even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience a traditional side of Japan in a hands-on and meaningful way! 🌿
