Overview of your Tokyo tour:

On this tour, you'll get to experience first hand the handwriting of Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy) very easily! I have a special, kind of magical sheet for a calligraphy lesson, so you're able to give our calligraphy a try with no prior preparation. I'll be sure to give you some tips to writing beautiful Chinese Kanji characters! For the Japanese, calligraphy is an art form that has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. It is still taught in elementary school classes. So why not personally experience the long history of calligraphy as a commemoration of your visit to Japan? The place where this calligraphy will be carried out is also my hometown. To get here, we'll have to take one of the only two streetcars in the entirety of Tokyo. If you have come all the way to Tokyo, I hope you agree on taking this tram ride towards a valuable cultural experience!
