5.00It was a super nice authentic experience, from a super friendly teacher! She was kind and helpful. The location was a classroom, but that is flexibel. It is nice to learn how to write kanji, but also to learn what your (western) name means in kanji! She gave us our own kanji on a nice roll and some treats with it. I totally recommend it!

5.00I was able to experience calligraphy, something I've always wanted to do! It was fun! They taught me carefully. I was able to take home the characters I wrote, and I could even have them turned into tattoo stickers on the spot. It would make a great souvenir. Thank you very much.
