About this activity

[Wamodern Experience] Hand-Sized Mini Bonsai Creation and Tea Ceremony at a Hidden Sumida River Atelier Tucked away in an alley along the lively Sumida River is a hidden gem of an atelier. Why not casually experience the beauty of Japanese tradition in this comfortable, Wamodern space?

In this workshop, you will craft a palm-sized faux bonsai that is perfect for accompanying you on your travels. You will carefully assemble colorful dried flowers and fresh-looking faux moss using hot glue. The finished piece is highly durable, making it ideal for home décor or a special gift for a loved one.

During breaks in your creation, traditional Japanese tea and seasonal wagashi will be served. Indulge in a moment that satisfies all five senses in a relaxed atmosphere. Since it is a small-group setting of up to [Insert Max Number] people, the instructor will provide meticulous, hands-on support even for first-timers. Relax and enjoy both the crafting process and the lively vibe of the atelier.

What you will do

2 hoursPrivate tour

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!
