Do I need to be an artist to join a Yokohama graffiti workshop?

Not at all! Our Yokohama workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional artist instructors will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. Whether you think you have zero artistic talent or you're a seasoned doodler, you'll leave with a smile and a great piece of art. Everyone has a creative side—we just help you find it! 🎨

Will I get paint on my clothes during the session?

We've got you covered! Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including disposable coveralls, gloves, and professional-grade masks. While we do our best to keep you clean, we always recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Our water-based and low-odor spray paints are selected to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone involved. ✨

Is this experience suitable for children and families?

Absolutely! We love hosting younger creators. Our workshops are a fantastic way for kids and teens in Yokohama to express themselves in a controlled, safe, and legal environment. We adjust our teaching style and equipment to suit different age groups, ensuring the little ones have just as much fun as the adults. It's a great alternative to standard birthday parties or school outings—plus, they get to take their canvas home to show off to friends! 🏆

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

Yokohama is known for its sea breeze, but we have plans for all conditions! Most of our public art experiences are held in covered or indoor locations to ensure the weather doesn't dampen your spirits. If we are scheduled for an outdoor spot and the weather looks truly uncooperative, we’ll coordinate with you to move to a dry backup location or reschedule. We have a dedicated team of backup artists, so your event will never be cancelled due to staff illness. ☔

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public art workshop in Yokohama typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time on the "practice wall," and then the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a specific time constraint or want a more intensive full-day masterclass, we can easily customize the duration to fit your group's schedule. ⏱️

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking couldn't be easier! Since we don't require any upfront payment, you can reserve your spot with total peace of mind. Simply reach out via our quote form with your preferred date and group size. We'll send you a custom proposal. Once you're happy with the details, we'll lock it in. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. It's our way of ensuring you have a stress-free creative journey! ✍️

Local culture

Yokohama has always been Japan’s gateway to the world, and its street art scene reflects that international spirit. While Tokyo might be famous for its neon, Yokohama’s public art scene is deeply rooted in its industrial history and maritime heritage. You can find incredible murals tucked away in the Koganecho area, a district once known for something else entirely, now transformed into a thriving artist's colony. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the community-driven art that makes this city so unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know Yokohama is home to the "BankART1929" project? It’s a massive initiative that turns old warehouses and banks into temporary art spaces, proving that in this city, every wall has the potential to become a masterpiece! 🎨⚓

During our sessions, we often draw inspiration from the city's iconic landmarks—like the Landmark Tower or the colorful Cosmo Clock 21—incorporating Yokohama’s unique skyline into our graffiti designs.

Pricing

Our Yokohama public art experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can join the fun. Because every workshop is unique—ranging from private sessions to massive community murals—the final cost depends on your group size and the specific setup you’re looking for.
