What should we wear to the graffiti retreat workshop?

Your retreat in Kobe is all about relaxation and creativity, so wear something you don't mind getting a little paint on! While we provide professional protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be messy. Comfortable shoes are a must as you'll be moving around your canvas. We suggest casual clothing that allows you to move freely while you channel your inner street artist in the beautiful Kobe settings.

Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic can control to advanced layering techniques. We focus on the process of creation and having fun rather than technical perfection. You'll be surprised at the masterpiece you can create with just a little guidance and the right Kobe vibes.

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Kobe's weather can be changeable, but we've got you covered. For our retreat workshops, we have access to several covered and indoor creative spaces throughout the city. If the weather doesn't permit an outdoor session near the harbor or mountains, we'll move to a cool indoor studio where the creative energy stays just as high. Your experience will be vibrant and fun, rain or shine!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience. This includes a wide variety of high-quality spray paint colors, protective gear (overalls, gloves, and masks), and your choice of canvas or workspace. For retreat groups, we also ensure there's an inspiring atmosphere. You don't need to bring a single thing—just your enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new and exciting!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the retreat?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odor, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We ensure a controlled, respectful environment where you can focus entirely on your creative expression without any worries about health or safety.

How long does a typical retreat workshop session last?

We are very flexible! While our standard retreat workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours to allow for a deep creative flow, we can customize the timing to fit your specific itinerary. Whether you want a quick sunrise session or a full afternoon of immersion, we can make it happen. Just let us know your schedule, and we'll tailor the Kobe experience to your group's needs.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Yes! One of the best parts of our retreat workshop is that you get to take your creations home. If you work on individual canvases, they are yours to keep as a unique souvenir of your time in Kobe. For larger collaborative pieces, we can discuss options for transport or high-quality digital captures. It's the perfect memento of your team's or group's creative bonding experience in Japan.

Local culture

Kobe isn't just about its world-famous beef; it's a city with a deep, sophisticated soul and a burgeoning street art scene. While parts of the city feel like a refined European port, districts like Sakaemachi and the areas under the elevated train tracks near Motomachi are home to vibrant murals and hidden tags that tell the story of modern Japan. Our workshops tap into this local energy, blending the city's maritime heritage with contemporary urban expression. ⚓️ 🏙️

Fun fact: Did you know Kobe was one of the first Japanese ports to open to foreign trade? This "pioneer spirit" makes it the perfect place to try something as bold and international as graffiti art!

Pricing

Our retreat workshops are designed to be accessible and high-value, with pricing typically ranging from ¥5000 to ¥12000 per person. The final cost depends on your group size, the length of the session, and any specific customizations you'd like to add. Unlike many other activities, there is no upfront payment required—you pay after the workshop! 💸

Because every group is unique, we recommend reaching out for a personalized estimate. Whether you're a small group of friends or a large company planning a retreat, we'll create a package that fits your budget perfectly.
