View on Google MapsI was sightseeing nearby with a friend, and I saw information that you could experience calligraphy, so I dropped by. It was a very meaningful experience that was hard to do ☺️☺️
The time spent brushing in the calm air of the inn made me forget my usual busyness. The teacher will teach you how to hold the brush slowly, so you can concentrate effortlessly even for the first time. What’s more, it had a special feeling of using hot spring water to make ink, and it had a unique taste of Hakone. Every time I look back at the finished work, I am reminded of that quiet space and the scent of steam.
My friend in Japan invited and I decided to join. I've drawn pictures with a brush before, but writing characters was a first for me. It was really fun to experience Japanese culture. I also got to enjoy the nearby hot springs, which was wonderful. I genuinely enjoyed my trip to Hakone. Thank you to the translator as well.

I was a complete beginner in calligraphy, but thanks to the kind guidance of my teacher, I was surprised by the result. What’s more, the special feeling that it is hot spring water to make sumi made me feel very excited. The time spent running the brush in the nature of Hakone and the calm air of the inn is as if your mind is being prepared. It was a healing experience that could only be experienced here.
I went there with a friend and I was able to experience it in a calm atmosphere with the sound of water and the scent of ink coming from outside. It was a very valuable opportunity. It was fun.
Just holding a brush in the quiet air of an old inn made me feel calm. It was also good to enjoy it without feeling nervous because I experienced it with friends. I was relieved that the teacher would see each one of them, and I was satisfied enough that I wanted to hang the finished work in my room.
I went there with my friends from the club, and the atmosphere was so good that even the members who were usually goofing around quietly concentrated. The ink made with hot spring water had a slight scent, which was completely different from a regular class. After writing it, we all showed each other our work and had a great time taking lots of photos.
Two hours felt like it very quickly. It was the first time in a long time that I had used a brush to write letters, which was fun and also tense and fresh, but the teacher was very polite. The writing was very comfortable and it was a good experience, probably because I used the hot spring water from the inn.
I experienced calligraphy in my room at the inn and it was a very quiet and calm time. The sound of hot water coming from the outside was also pleasant and allowed me to concentrate naturally. I felt like I could write more beautifully than usual.
While traveling in Hakone, I had an old-fashioned experience. It was an experience of writing characters from the past, and I was very happy because it was something I had always wanted to do! It was the first time for me to actually write the spelling I was interested in in in the classics class (writing like cursive), and it was a great time for me to write the typefaces I had only seen in a collection of materials with my own hands!
