Traveller reviews
We had a great time learning some of the secrets of Japanese caligraphy. Chihiro is a wonderful host, and she knows how to share her knowledge with beginners like ourselves. Time flew by as we focused on our paint brushes while having a fun and interesting conversation about our respective countries, hobbies, or preferred foods.
Perfect disconnect from your troubles and your mind. Become one with the brush for a little while under the guide of Chihiro. Be patient and become patience
A wonderful experience. I enjoyed it a lot. Might even take it up as a hobby. Thank you so much. So much fun and love the souvenier 🙏
If you are looking for a unique cultural experience to try in Hiroshima I highly recommend Chihiro’s calligraphy class!
Chihiro was so kind and lovely leading our class. I had a really fun time learning about calligraphy and practicing it- definitely a fun activity to do while in Hiroshima!
A very exciting experience where you’ll learn how to write a few kanji, including your name or your favorite word, and then create a cool memento to take home. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
Chihiro is a great, patient teacher! We were all able to practice extensively before making the souvenir to take home. I really recommend going with friends! It was a fun and relaxing experience. Thank you for hosting us! 😁
Was a very enjoyable experience with an excellent host, showing insight into the history of Japanese writing while leaving with a fantastic and personalized piece/souvenir!
