Guests who make reservations with proposed dates from their requests will have a smoother experience. (Please note that if the payment is not completed, it will be considered a cancellation.) Due to work circumstances, it may be difficult to set up, so we appreciate your understanding. Our small atelier, previously located in Shintomicho, has moved to a charming alley near the Sumida River with old-town flair since March of this year. It is a 2-minute walk from Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, a 10-minute walk from Ningyocho Station on the Hibiya Line, and a 7-minute walk from Suitengumae Station on the Hanzomon Line. Why not enjoy the atmosphere and experience a convenient-to-take-home bonsai-style arrangement? The experience takes place in our small atelier. First, we welcome you with tea and traditional Japanese sweets. After a short break and relaxation, we explain how to create the bonsai arrangement. The materials include faux moss and dried flowers. You'll create a palm-sized bonsai-style object. We use hot glue to secure the pieces, making it durable. Since it is a fake bonsai, you can take it abroad!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
