Guided tour of World Heritage Site Horyuji Temple, and write your name in kanji!
Last update
Visit Horyuji Temple, the oldest wooden building in the world and one of Japan's first World Heritage sites, with a guide. An experienced local guide will show you around and explain the features of the temple in an easy to understand way. After the tour, write your own name in kanji using a brush pen. We will use a style called Onore Sho, which is different from traditional calligraphy and allows you to write your name in a way that reflects your personality. After the workshop, you can take your creation home as a souvenir.
