Offered in: English

Step into a 150-year-old Kyoto townhouse and enjoy a fully private cultural experience at Onishi Tsune Shoten, a renowned folding fan atelier with over a century of history. This exclusive, one-group-only program invites you to take part in the fan-painting process—one of the most artistic steps in traditional sensu making. Your hand-painted fan will be finished by skilled artisans and shipped to your home overseas, making it a truly personal and lasting keepsake.

After painting, you'll try Tosenkyo, a refined fan-tossing game from the Edo period. Though simple in concept, this elegant pastime blends grace, strategy, and quiet focus. You'll learn how to play from the basics—how to hold, throw, and score—before enjoying a friendly match to test your skills.

This program is conducted entirely for your group, ensuring an intimate and undisturbed encounter with Kyoto’s living traditions. Escape the crowds and enjoy a rare, hands-on cultural experience in a serene, historic setting.
