School trip students enjoying a group calligraphy experience at Shodocafe7557 in Roppongi, Tokyo.


The session began with a basic introduction to Japanese calligraphy, followed by an activity where each student chose their favorite kanji.
Using traditional brushes and ink, they carefully wrote their chosen character on a hanging scroll.

For many students, it was their first time holding a calligraphy brush.
Despite this, they focused deeply on each stroke, enjoying the quiet and immersive time spent with the characters.
As they shared their finished works, the space naturally filled with smiles and a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
This School Trip Calligraphy Tokyo experience is designed for student groups visiting Japan and offers a hands-on introduction to Japanese culture.

Our school trip and group calligraphy experience includes:

  • Choosing a favorite kanji and writing it on a hanging scroll
  • A personalized Kanji name animation video as a gift

At Shodocafe7557, we are delighted to offer a special gift for our guests.

Kanji characters each carry deep meanings, history, and symbolism. By carefully selecting characters that represent both the sound and spirit of your name, we create a one-of-a-kind story just for you. Our team then brings this story to life through an elegant brush-style animation.

The finished video is perfect for sharing on social media, keeping as a memory of your trip to Japan, or as a thoughtful gift for family and friends. Many guests tell us it has become one of their most unforgettable souvenirs from Tokyo.

Our calligraphy workshop itself is a special cultural experience, but with this video, you can relive the moment anytime.
