Yesterday, we had a lovely family from Australia visit AriHana Kyoto with their 8-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. Both children were excited to try origami and made various creations like tulips, Hello Kitty, ninja stars, and small boxes. They also enjoyed playing traditional Japanese games such as kendama, fukuwarai, and bouzu mekuri with their parents. It made us happy to hear them say, “This is so fun! I don’t want to leave yet!”
They told us they found us through ChatGPT, and lately, more families have been visiting AriHana Kyoto after learning about us this way.
