What you'll do
【Learn the basics of ikebana】 The most important part of ikebana is bringing out the charms of the materials (plants, vase and so on) to express their beauty. You will learn what style looks beautiful, which angle is attractive, and what combinations are the most stunning. To refine your style, we will teach you the basics of ikebana. The instructor will teach to your level, so you don't need to worry if it is your first time. Arranging flowers will create a big difference in their appearance. Witness your arrangement come to life. 【Ikebana experience】 After you learn the basics, you will craft your own creation. Once your work is done, the instructor will have a look at it. They will give you advice on how to improve your arrangement. You will have the opportunity to take plenty of pictures of your arrangement. The flowers your will use in this class will be local flowers that are in season, so your creation will be extra special. Ikebana can be created with flowers from all over the world; that's why it's popular overseas as well. When you go home, you can put everything that you have learned to use and make an arrangement with flowers in your country.

Traveller reviews
The lesson is a perfect balance of learning through explanation and through application. After outlining the history and geometric and philosophic principles behind Ikebana, the instructor guides you towards creating an individualistic flower arrangement.
I loved my class. I learned a lot and had a chance to create my own flower arrangement. My teacher obviously loved what she was teaching, and was so supportive and enthusiastic. It was a highlight for me in Tokyo! I highly recommend it.
This was an amazing experience where I learned so much and have a new appreciation for the process of arranging flowers.
This was a great experience - the teachers were kind and patient and we learned a lot about ikebana. The location was easy to find and all the materials were supplied to us. The instructors even let us know about an ikebana show that we went to the next day and it was incredible!
I had an amazing time attending the class! The teachers were great and I learned a lot! It was a great birthday present to myself 😄
My Ikebana class experience was amazing! The very patient, kind, and knowledgeable teachers taught me so much and made learning the flower arrangements really fun. I will absolutely go back the next time I visit Japan. I cannot rate this highly enough.
I had a wonderful time at this class! I happened to be the only student in my class. My instructor was an absolute gem. I am from the US and my instructor apologized for her English, but it was perfect and I understood everything. I love flowers and arrange them on my own but Ikebana is a totally different way of thinking about aesthetics. I enjoyed learning about the history/philosophy in this beginner class, watched the instructor arrange one to show me, and then ultimately arrange my own. Highly recommend!
An excellent introduction to the art of ikebana! It is definitely more technical than we imagined but thanks to a comprehensive tutorial it was thoroughly enjoyable. Even my reluctant partner was pretty good at it with the Sensei and assistants being surprisingly impressed with his work. Arigatou gozaimasu!
