KANJI ART Workshop & explore walking as a local in Tokyo

Are you looking for a unique and creative experiment during your adventure this time? In this tour, not only you can make an original souvenir for your precious person or for yourself, but also you will be able to know about Japanese history and culture more deeply. Nakano is so close to Shinjuku, just next stop from Shinjuku by JR Chu-o Line. Why is this west side of Tokyo Nakano so popular city to live? Come and feel very casual and easy-going living area in Tokyo. Narrow back streets, so many gourmet restaurants, unique anime shops and underground shopping mall will make you feel excited. After the active down town, we move to quiet residencial area by walking (or using a local public bus). I recommend this tour because it can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.　Famous sightseeing spots are not included in this tour but I'd like you to feel as if you were home staying in Japan. Normal life is full of culture!
