We've worked hard to improve our workshops and are excited for you to check it out. :)

This two hour class is recommended for those who want to experience authentic, genuine connections with Japanese locals in a laid back environment, different from the hustle and bustle of sight-seeing. English speaking staff will be on hand to assist you with communication, so no worries about any language barrier. 

You'll leave here with a lovely treasure to remind you of your Japan trip, and a deeper understanding of Kagoshima's history, customs and culture. You will also enjoy our selection of delicious local craft teas and fun snacks.

Class sizes are limited in order to ensure that each guest will receive personalized attention. However, if your party is larger please reach out to us to discuss alternatives.

Thank you and we're looking forward to meeting you!

Choose the colored thread that children like and knit it with both hands and feet.You can finish it during the day and take it home. 

This will also be a memory of the children's journey.
