Name Writing Calligraphy Experience in Shinjuku Tokyo

Join a hands-on Japanese calligraphy class in the heart of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Taught by a licensed teacher in a traditional tatami room, this experience lets you learn the basics of Japanese writing—from how to hold a brush to drawing your first kanji strokes. Even beginners can enjoy this peaceful cultural activity, as clear step-by-step guidance is provided throughout the session.

You'll get the chance to write your name in Japanese characters and take home your own calligraphy as a keepsake. All materials are provided, but it's best to wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit of ink on. Located near popular Shinjuku attractions like Hanazono Shrine and Shinjuku Gyoen, this class is perfect for travelers wanting to explore a deeper side of Japanese culture.
