Kyoto Cultural Experience

Here is your chance to delve further into Japan's culture by studying a favourite hobby. The Women's Association of Kyoto is responsible for organizing and executing these classes, and a cab will pick you up from your hotel and drop you back off at your accommodation with an interpreter in tow. You will learn the fundamentals of these time-honoured arts and crafts in the following two hours. The women who teach the classes have honed their expertise throughout ten, fifteen, or even twenty years, and they are pleased to share their knowledge with others. They are now more than willing to teach you these techniques. Hopefully, you'll carry the memories of this personal encounter with you for the rest of your life.
