    Create your own original items through a calligraphy experience and take them home as souvenirs!

    How about trying a calligraphy experience to create unforgettable memories in Hiroshima? This one-on-one session lasts about 2 hours. Did you know that there are only 8 brush-making regions in Japan, and 2 of them are located here in Hiroshima? What better place to try calligraphy than this historically rich area?

    During the calligraphy session, you can use traditional brushes to write kanji on a handmade Japanese paper clock or create T-shirts and stickers featuring fun onomatopoeia from your favorite manga (like ‘Boooom!!’).

    You can make your items on the spot and take them home as unique souvenirs!

  • Play catch with Japanese kid in a large park on top of a mountain!

    Play catch with Japanese kid in a large park on top of a mountain!

    I have children ranging from high school to kindergarten: three boys and one girl. We live in the mountain area of Hatsukaichi City, where Miyajima is located, and often go out as a family to enjoy the delicious local restaurants and nature spots in the mountains. I’d be delighted to meet guests who want to share a casual, local weekend with us. 😊

    My baseball-loving son, who’s in the third grade, is looking for a guest to play catch with on the weekend! Let’s break through language barriers, play catch with local kids, and enjoy some snacks together at our home. 😊
