Itinerary
Discover a side of Osaka that most tourists never experience. Learn traditional Japanese calligraphy from an award-winning artist, create your own framed artwork to take home, and enjoy freshly whisked matcha in a welcoming home studio. Your experience begins at Umeda Sky Building, just a 5-minute walk from the host’s bright, sun-filled home studio. Here, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Japanese calligraphy (shodo) from an instructor with 10+ years of experience and award-winning calligraphy. Choose your own word — your name in kanji, or a meaningful word like “peace,” “love,” or “dream” — and learn proper brush techniques using traditional tools: brush, ink, and washi paper. Your instructor guides you through stroke order and brush control at your own pace. It’s meditative, creative, and surprisingly relaxing. Once your artwork is complete, it’s mounted in a beautiful frame, ready to take home as a meaningful souvenir of your time in Osaka. After creating, you'll whisk your own matcha using traditional tea tools, then enjoy it as a creamy matcha latte with a Japanese sweet. This quiet moment lets you reflect on your creation while enjoying authentic Japanese hospitality.
