This was such a fun... - This was such a fun experience we did, the instructors were really great, very knowledgeable and patient. It was really cool learning the history of Kanji and learning how to draw/paint our own characters. The instructors were so kind, hospitable and friendly!! Would highly recommend if you are looking for something fun and meaningful to do in Tokyo!

7 Characters Walked into a Cafe... and Left with Beautiful Kanji - None of our party of seven had previously done calligraphy. The team at Shodo Cafe was very engaging and patient; they truly enjoyed sharing the art, providing hand-on assistance. Everything was extremely organized. In addition to your name, there were a lot of options to choose from, allowing each person to select characters of significance. A memorable experience I highly recommend!

7 Characters Walked into a Cafe... and Left with Beautiful Kanji - Our party of seven spent a delightful afternoon at the Shodo Cafe! The guys were leery at first, but had a great time-- one of them was an absolute natural. The room was organized; the music was fun; and the snacks and drinks were easy/did not impede the calligraphy. The team was extremely patient, literally working hand-on with each of us, constantly replenishing the ink pots and paper. They researched our names in advance, presenting us with individualized meanings and kanji. In addition to your name, a lot of other options were provided to choose from, ensuring that everyone went home with at least one piece to be proud of. We have already hung up our scrolls, and I am looking forward to using my stamp. It was a memorable experience, unlike anything you have probably done before or will have an opportunity to do again. I highly recommend!

Hard to find - This place was very hard to find. We walked for almost an hour in the rain after our taxi driver dropped us off almost at the door. It was upstairs in a karaoke bar in a nondescript building. Once we arrived we had fun although is is a challenge to write in Kanji
