Overview of your Kyoto tour:

In this tour, you can have an authentic Japanese calligraphy experience followed by a 4-hour guided tour in a beautiful and less crowded area of Kyoto. You can learn the basics of Japanese writing, the history of Japanese characters, as well as a part of the history of Japan. During the calligraphy workshop you will learn about the history of calligraphy, then watch me, a calligraphy teacher, demonstrate basic techniques and impart my knowledge. This will then allow you to create your own masterpiece on a Japanese paper board or scroll for a lovely souvenir to take home with you. Over the course of the day we will visit Fushimi Inari shrine, one of the most popular locations in Kyoto which is well-known for its 10, 000 red torii gates. We will also see Sanjusangen-do temple which hosts 1, 001 statues of Kannon, and Chishankuin temple which is famous for its national heritage paintings.
