What to expect

Take a creative break from sightseeing in Asakusa and paint your own maneki-neko, Japan’s iconic lucky cat. After meeting your English-speaking host, choose a figurine and use colorful paint pens to create a design that is entirely your own. Add traditional colors, patterns inspired by your trip, a personal message, or an original character—there is no single right way to decorate it.
No painting experience is required, and the small group is limited to four travelers, so you can work at a relaxed pace and ask for help whenever you need it. The workshop takes approximately one hour and is suitable for solo travelers, couples, friends, and families. When your design is complete, take your finished maneki-neko home immediately as a one-of-a-kind souvenir and a lasting reminder of your time in Tokyo.
