Paint Your Own Kokeshi Doll and Get Your Name in Kanji, Shibuya

Immerse yourself in Japanese culture during a 2-hour guided experience in Shibuya, where creativity meets tradition. Begin at the iconic Hachiko statue and stroll through the vibrant streets to a specialty kokeshi shop, surrounded by hundreds of unique dolls. Dive into the history of kokeshi as your expert guide shares insights into their cultural significance. Then, paint your very own doll with all materials provided. Enjoy complimentary matcha or green tea, both prepared using traditional methods, while you create. Your guide will transform your name into kanji as a special gift — try signing the bottom of your doll in kanji, with your guide walking you through the correct stroke order. Once complete, polish your doll with wax for a beautiful shine. Capture the moment with a memorable photo surrounded by the stunning kokeshi collection. Leave with a packaged kokeshi and a handwritten kanji name card — a perfect, personal souvenir from Japan.
