Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Kobe graffiti workshops are designed for everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned creators. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You don't need any prior drawing skills to walk away with a piece of art you're proud of. It's all about having fun and expressing your unique personality through color and movement! 🎨

Is the workshop safe and clean?

Safety is a huge priority for us. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure you stay clean and breathe easily. We use professional-grade spray cans in a well-ventilated environment. Our instructors stay with the group the entire time to manage the equipment and ensure everyone is following the safety protocols while they have the time of their lives! ✨

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on! While we provide protective gear, spray paint can sometimes find a way onto shoes or sleeves. Think casual and practical. In Kobe’s mild climate, lightweight layers are usually best so you can move around freely while you're working on your masterpiece. 👟

How long does the entire experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Kobe usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the craft, practice some basic techniques on a practice wall, and then dive into creating your final artwork. We make sure the pace is energetic and engaging so you never feel rushed but stay constantly inspired! ⏳

Can I book a private workshop for my travel group?

Yes, we love hosting groups! Whether you're traveling as a couple, a family, or a large group of friends exploring Japan, we can accommodate you. Group sizes can vary, and we can even scale up for dozens of people at a time. The more people there are, the more vibrant the collaborative energy becomes! Just let us know your group size when booking. ✌️

Do I need to pay in advance?

No stress here! We don't require any upfront payment when you book your Kobe experience. You can pay after the workshop is finished. We believe in our experience so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied before we settle up. This makes planning your Japan trip much more flexible and worry-free. 💳

Is this activity suitable for children?

We love kids! Our workshops are a fantastic activity for families visiting Kobe. We generally recommend participants be at least 6 years old to have the hand strength for the spray cans, but we've seen younger 'mini-artists' do great with a little help from their parents. It's a memory your kids will definitely talk about for the rest of the trip! 👦👧

Local culture

Kobe isn't just about world-famous beef and stunning harbor views; it’s a city with a deep-rooted appreciation for design and fashion. As a designated UNESCO City of Design, Kobe embraces the intersection of tradition and modernity. While exploring the city, you might spot hidden street art gems in the narrow alleys of Motomachi or the industrial-chic vibes of the waterfront districts. Our workshops tap into this local creative energy, giving you a chance to contribute to the city's modern artistic legacy. 🌊🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know Kobe was one of the first ports in Japan to open to foreign trade? This international influence is why the city has such a unique, cosmopolitan vibe that perfectly fits the global language of graffiti! ✌️
