From classic home-style meals to seasonal creations influenced by Western or Chinese flavors, each session is guided by experienced instructors who bring technique and warmth to the kitchen.
These are more than just cooking lessons — they’re a window into the heart of Japanese hospitality. Come taste, create, and connect through food.

Fine Art and Cultural Exchange
Experience Japan through Art
Fine Art & Cultural Exchange invites you to experience Japan beyond the surface through creativity, conversation, and hands-on immersion. At the heart of this offering is a workshop where you’ll craft your own Kinbyōbu (gold folding screen) — a timeless symbol of elegance in Japanese art. Guided by a seasoned artist, you’ll explore traditional materials, seasonal motifs, and the quiet beauty of Japanese aesthetics.
For those seeking deeper context, an optional museum visit with a local guide offers the chance to view historic artworks and gain insight into their cultural significance. Whether you're painting, learning, or sharing ideas, each moment is a bridge between cultures — one shaped by care, expression, and connection.
