Meet your instructor at Higashi-Ikebukuro Station and head to their cosy condo. Enjoy a friendly and authentic atmosphere as you learn the art of origami in a real Japanese home.

Your instructor is certified by the Nippon Origami Association, ensuring you receive high-quality, authentic guidance throughout the session. Whether you are a complete beginner or have tried it before, your instructor will guide you step-by-step through several models, ensuring you master the famous paper crane. If you can already create a crane, your instructor will prepare more advanced models for you. Please let her know your experience and preferences in advance.

During the break, enjoy two types of Japanese snacks served in a handmade origami box—a perfect photo opportunity. Learn about the fascinating history of origami, from its ancient roots to its modern applications in science and design.

Take home not only your paper creations but also a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and a memory of a warm, local encounter.
