Traveling Tokyo with children can be busy.

This is your private afternoon to slow down

— 3 hours with a Japanese mother and her 11-year-old son in Hiroo. One family per session.

You can buy a souvenir anywhere in Tokyo. You cannot buy this.

Children learn origami face-to-face with my 11-year-old son.

No shared language needed — just paper, hands, and laughter.

For younger children, simple Japanese games adjusted to age and mood.

Children arrive nervous and leave waving goodbye to a new Japanese friend.

While your children play happily with my son, you can fully relax and focus on your own one-of-a-kind kanji name artwork.

I research 2–3 kanji candidates a week before you arrive.

Together we choose, practice, and finish on shikishi or uchiwa — ready to take home.

Children receive discounted rates by age (from ¥4,000). All materials and snacks included.

Best for families with children ages 5–12. Teens, couples, and solo adults also welcome.

We had such an amazing time with Rie and her son during our calligraphy and origami experience! This has been one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Rie was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, making both my daughter and I feel right at home. She didn’t just teach us how to write with a brush—she explained the meanings behind the kanji, how the characters evolved, and how they connect to Japanese history and culture. It made learning feel so meaningful and engaging. The origami portion was just as wonderful. We learned traditional folding techniques while also hearing about the cultural significance behind the art. My daughter especially loved creating something beautiful with her own hands, and it was such a special experience for us to share together. What made this experience truly unforgettable was the personal connection. Spending time with Rie and her son gave us a glimpse into everyday Japanese family life that we never could have experienced as ordinary tourists. We laughed, learned, asked questions, and left with a much deeper appreciation for Japan’s language, traditions, and hospitality. If you’re looking for an authentic cultural experience that is educational, relaxing, and perfect for families, I cannot recommend this enough. We left with beautiful keepsakes, wonderful memories, and a much greater understanding of Japanese culture. Thank you, Rie, for such a memorable experience—we’ll treasure it forever!
Excellent, satisfying, and relaxing.

A wonderful relaxing time where I was able to learn the anatomy of Japanese calligraphy. Choosing the specific kanji that makes up my name. Practice on paper makes perfect. I felt very accomplished from how I started to where I finished. The instructor was extremely helpful and patient. She assisted in helping me understand the stroke order. Very nice calming and satisfying!
Best and most authentic Origami experience

Patient and courteous, Rie san and her son picked us up from the Hiro-o station and guided us to the place for the workshop. Rie san was well prepared for the workshop including finding suggestions for my names Kanji which is difficult. I had fun and didn’t realize the time flying by for 3 hours. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to experience Caligraphy and Origami as well as learn more about Japanese culture.
Great experience!

The Calligraphy and Origami workshop was really fun and interesting. Rie-sensei was knowledgeable, careful and patient and Takuto-sensei was really dedicated. I had a great time and felt like I learned a new skill! We had plenty of time to practice, I didn’t feel rushed at all. We even had the possibility to wear a yukata in the end, love it! Thank you again to both of you!!
One of the best parts of our trip!! 20/10! AMAZING!

Don't think twice, book this experience! I am writing this review as a travel agent who booked this tour for my clients. My clients spent over 2 weeks in Japan with kids of all ages and this was one of the best experiences of their whole trip. From my client - We recommend this experience more for anybody traveling to Tokyo. It was 20 out of 10 for us. Rie spent a lot of time and care teaching calligraphy and origami. Along with her son, she also brought two friends, one who would entertain our younger son for that time so that the rest of us could focus on learning and practicing our new skills. Her son was the expert in origami, and she was the expert in calligraphy. She brought yukuta's for everyone and it was such a special experience. If you are considering doing this experience, don't think twice! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The Perfect Art Experience!

During my time at the Exclusive Tokyo Art Workshop Experience, I had the chance to try several activities: folding origami, creating a paper fan, and practicing Japanese calligraphy. Each part was enjoyable and taught with care. The instructors were very supportive, and I appreciated how we could take the final products home, a perfect souvenir from Japan. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with traditional Japanese arts in an engaging way.
