Good experience!
Great event learning how to use procreate to create a Japanese postcard! Amity Sensei and Assistants were very helpful and informative, overall a very good experience!
A wonderful personal addition to any trip!
The environment was very welcoming and all the staff were very engaged and pleasant to be around. Very English friendly. I would definitely do this again when I have the chance.
Great Tour!
This is a perfect small activity to do with friends and family during your visit to Kyoto. I was taught how to create traditional calligraphy and printed a post card on location with my art on it (one of my favorite souvenirs).
