Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Not at all! Our Yokohama workshop is designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to mastering intricate caps. Most participants have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they leave with a finished piece of art they're genuinely proud of. Just bring your enthusiasm!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs happy. We use professional-grade spray paints in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor setting. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a fun and secure environment for all our guests in the city.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case! While we provide full protective gear, it's best to stay practical. Since Yokohama's coastal breeze can be cool, bringing a light jacket in the evening is a smart move. Other than that, just bring your energy and maybe a camera for some photos!

How long does the graffiti experience take?

The standard tourist workshop lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before you create your final masterpiece. If you're in a rush or want a deeper dive, we can often adjust the timing to fit your Yokohama travel itinerary.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! While we often work on a large shared wall to give you the true 'mural' experience, we also offer options to create your own individual canvas. These are great because you can take them home as the ultimate souvenir of your trip to Japan. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can have the right materials ready for you.

What is the typical group size for tourists?

We try to keep our groups relatively small to ensure everyone gets personal attention from the artist. Usually, groups range from 2 to 15 people. For larger tourist groups or families, we can bring in additional artists to keep the energy high and the instruction focused. It’s a fantastic way to bond with friends or meet fellow travelers.

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

Yokohama is beautiful, but we know the weather can be unpredictable. We have covered locations available to ensure the fun doesn't stop if it rains. If the weather looks truly dire and our backup spots are full, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find a solution. Our 'no cancellation' policy means we always have backup artists ready to go!
