Today, we had the pleasure of offering a private origami experience at a nearby hotel. Although our guest initially said she wasn’t confident in folding paper, she carefully followed each step and completed many beautiful works of art. With each finished piece, she exclaimed with joy, “Wow, amazing!” Her excitement was contagious, and it made us truly happy to see her enjoying Japanese culture so much.

At AriHana Kyoto, we offer hands-on Japanese cultural experiences that are perfect for both children and adults. Along with origami, we have a variety of traditional toys such as kendama and daruma otoshi.
