The Experience
Shusshakaji Temple offers a hands-on program where you can learn "Kanamoji'' calligraphy from the chief priest. "Kanamonji" are characters unique to Japan that are based on kanji, and when used in calligraphy, their flowing, smooth strokes and soft curves give a sense of elegance. Additionally, we offer a more accessible calligraphy experience plan where you can learn to write your name.
The calligraphy experience will be held in a guest hall that is not open to the public. You can practice while looking at a model, and the chief priest will give you careful advice on how to write beautifully. After deepening their understanding of kana characters through practice, they write songs on washi paper. Finally, sign in Japanese, affix your name stamp, and you're done. Custom-made name stamps can be taken home as souvenirs. ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ Information about tour Place of departure and destination: Shusshaka Ji Temple Number of days of travel:1Day Means of transportation: No transportation Name of bus company: Meal(s): No meal Minimum number of passengers to operate. 2 Number of GUIDE：1
