Explore the World Heritage Site of Horyu-ji Temple with a guide and learn about the history of the temple. Then, try your hand at calligraphy and write your name in kanji.

Meet your guide at the Horyu-ji Center and head to the temple. Admire the world's oldest wooden building and learn about the history of the temple.

After your visit, head to the calligraphy workshop. Use a brush pen to write your name in kanji. This is a new form of calligraphy in which you can freely enjoy writing brush characters with a single brush pen. All the letters you want to write will become a beautiful “Your Onore-sho”.
