Calligraphy Experience in Shizuoka Fuji and Shizuoka Tea

Experience traditional Japanese culture through a Calligraphy and Tea Experience in Susono City, Shizuoka, nestled at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Just an hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen and a short drive from Mishima Station, this peaceful location offers beautiful views of Mt. Fuji on clear days. The workshop is held in a quiet classroom, providing the perfect setting to focus and enjoy this calming art form.

You’ll start by making ink using pure spring water from Mt. Fuji and learn how to hold and move the brush, even if it’s your first time. The experience is designed to be enjoyable and easy to follow, using all five senses as you explore the beauty of Japanese calligraphy. At the end, you’ll sip local Shizuoka tea and take a photo with your own hand-drawn work—a memorable souvenir from your time in Japan.
