What to expect
Port Opening Memorial Hall
You can take a basic, authentic calligraphy lesson at the Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall (Jack's Tower), one of Yokohama's traditional buildings. You will be given a model to use on the spot, where you can write your favorite characters or a single character of your name in kanji. You will then copy this into a beautiful Japanese paper fan(uchiwa) as calligraphy art, which you can take home as a souvenir. At the end of the lesson, you will enjoy Japanese tea (you can choose between sencha or hojicha) and Japanese sweets. You will also be able to take home a beginner's guide to calligraphy in English.
The Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall, affectionately known as "Jack's Tower," is a neo-Renaissance style building erected in 1917 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Yokohama's port opening. Today, it stands as a historical landmark and a public hall, offering visitors a peek into Yokohama's vibrant past.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
