Calligraphy experience was educational, very interesting and fun. Hitomi was very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended! Karate session was lots of fun. Hirokazu explained everything prior to the practical. Hospitality was exceptional. English was easily understood and we were given momentos from each session. Photos and video footage were also provided to us. Great fun!
