Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming a lovely family visiting Japan from Switzerland to AriHana Kyoto.
Their two daughters, ages 7 and 4, were visiting Japan for the very first time and were very curious about traditional Japanese toys and cultural activities. Among all the experiences, they especially loved origami. Even though it was their first time, they eagerly challenged themselves to fold a spinning origami top. They completed it beautifully and were surprisingly skillful!
They also tried Japanese calligraphy (Shodo). We helped them convert their names into Kanji, and they carefully wrote them with a brush on a traditional Japanese uchiwa fan. With guidance from our staff, they created wonderful personalized fans to take home as special souvenirs from Kyoto.
AriHana Kyoto is a perfect place for families visiting Japan who want to experience Japanese culture in a fun and easy way. Our indoor kids activity space in Kyoto is conveniently located near Kiyomizu-dera and Sanjusangendo Temple, making it an ideal stop during your Kyoto sightseeing.
Families with children can comfortably enjoy Japanese cultural experiences, traditional play, and creative activities regardless of the weather.
Our space is popular for:
• Kids activities in Kyoto
• Family-friendly cultural experiences
• Japanese culture workshops
• Indoor play for children
• Making memorable Kyoto travel experiences
No reservation is required, and walk-ins are always welcome. Reservations are also available for those who prefer to book in advance.
We look forward to welcoming families from all over the world!
