What to expect
Create a personal goshuin-style book in a private 90-minute cultural workshop in Kyoto’s historic Gion neighbourhood. Enjoy a traditional Japanese machiya setting and hands-on guidance from your instructor.
Learn about goshuin, the stamps and calligraphic inscriptions collected at Japanese temples and shrines, and their cultural significance. Choose decorative colours and designs, then assemble and personalize a handmade book to take home as a souvenir of Kyoto.
The workshop is private for your group of 1–14 and suitable for beginners. Kimono rentals are available. Goshuin Bookmaking is offered only with one companion activity, not as a standalone workshop:
Japanese Calligraphy: Practise brush handling, ink control and kanji, then create artwork to take home.
Stamp-Carving: Discover Japanese personal seals, then design and carve your own using traditional tools.
Tea Ceremony: Learn about tea utensils and matcha preparation and appreciation, seated comfortably at a low table.
The activity lasts 90 minutes and includes Goshuin Bookmaking plus the companion activity named in your selected option.
