Start with a manga illustration session guided by a professional artist. You’ll learn how to draw manga-style characters using authentic tools like G-pens, screentone sheets, and ink. Step-by-step guidance makes it enjoyable for beginners, while manga fans will appreciate insights into the art form. At the end, take home your original drawing as a personal souvenir.

After cooking, relax in a traditional tatami room and enjoy your meal. You’ll also be served Japanese home-style sweets, along with all-you-can-drink beverages, including shochu, beer, and fruit juices.
