Discover Japanese Floral Heritage through Selection and Ikebana

Following the shop visit, take part in an Ikebana workshop, learning the principles of Japanese flower arrangement and creating your own composition with individual guidance. The tour is guided by a certified Ikebana teacher and garden designer with a lifelong background in floral design.
