Held year-roundThe Japanese spirit of appreciating the seasons, Ohara School of Ikebana Experience (60 minutes)
![]()
“I would love to decorate at home with seasonal flowers, but I don’t think I can do it.” This activity is perfect for people who have been thinking that to themselves. This is a 60-minutes Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) experience. The Ohara School is one of Japan’s three major schools for Ikebana. You can learn the fundamentals of “Moribana” where seasonal flowers are beautifully arranged in a spacious water basin. A style of flower arrangement unique to the Ohara School. The Ohara School was established during the Meiji era, coinciding with the popularization of Western-style flowers. Its innovative style, "Moribana," blends naturally into modern living spaces. The quiet time spent facing flowers and reconstructing your life within a vase makes you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Experience Japan's unique aesthetic sense and appreciation for the seasons. A first-grade professor of the Ohara School of Ikebana will provide careful instruction. At the end of the experience, we will display your ikebana arrangement inside our hotel.
