We had a wonderful day yesterday welcoming many guests from around the world!

A family visiting from Puerto Rico enjoyed trying Japanese calligraphy and origami. They wrote their names and favorite words in kanji, creating beautifully designed traditional uchiwa fans as unique souvenirs.

A family from the United States told us they were happy to relax and unwind while enjoying a fun cultural experience after a busy day of sightseeing in Kyoto.

We also welcomed a family from London, where not only the children but also the parents had a great time playing traditional Japanese games together. It was heartwarming to see the whole family laughing and enjoying these cultural activities.

AriHana Kyoto is an indoor play and cultural experience space located near Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto. Families can enjoy authentic Japanese traditional games and hands-on activities together in a comfortable indoor setting.

We offer a wide variety of activities such as origami, kendama, calligraphy, and kaleidoscope making. These experiences are easy, fun, and perfect for children and adults to explore Japanese culture together. You can also create your own original handmade souvenirs to take home.

Perfect for:
• Family-friendly activities in Kyoto
• Things to do in Kyoto with kids
• Indoor activities in Kyoto (great for rainy or hot days)
• Japanese cultural experiences
• Unique Kyoto souvenirs

No reservation is required, and walk-ins are always welcome. You can also book in advance through our website.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family!
