Schools find them ideal for educational trips, introducing students to contemporary art forms and encouraging hands-on learning.

From Sapporo Station, many central workshop locations are just a short walk or subway ride away, often on the Namboku, Toho, or Tozai lines.

For those travelling by car, Sapporo is well-served by major roads, including the Hokkaido Expressway. Parking facilities are available in central districts, though they can be busy. Coach access for larger groups is generally manageable, with designated drop-off points near key landmarks. The nearest major airport is New Chitose Airport, providing international and domestic connections, with convenient direct train services to Sapporo Station.

Local culture

Street art and Sapporo's creative pulse

Sapporo's art scene, while perhaps more understated than some other Japanese cities, is active and evolving. You will find public art installations, particularly around Odori Park and in some of the city's architectural spaces. While there are no officially designated legal graffiti walls in the central areas, the city's cultural venues and galleries often showcase contemporary art, including urban-inspired works.

The creative pulse of Sapporo is more often found in its design studios, small independent galleries, and the vibrant energy of its youth culture. Our workshops provide a safe and legal environment to explore the aesthetics of street art within this dynamic urban context, offering a different perspective on Sapporo's artistic identity.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible to fit your group's needs. Whether you're looking for an affordable birthday bash or a high-end corporate brand activation, we have an option for you.

Standard Workshop Price: ¥5,000 - ¥12,000 per person
