Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

Kangetsu sits just off the main path by design. Pass the Starbucks on Ninenzaka and slip into the quiet lane on your left. A few steps in, the crowds disappear and our long‑hidden machiya emerges—a place you discover intentionally, not by accident.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

Learn the basics of Japanese calligraphy, including brush handling, stroke techniques, and character composition. Practice writing under the guidance of an experienced instructor and create your own calligraphy artwork to take home.
