Experience the timeless Japanese art of Bonsai in Tokyo at the renowned Shunka-en Bonsai Museum, guided by a professional Bonsai master. Bonsai, often called a “living art,” has been an important part of Japanese culture for centuries. Unlike planting trees in the ground, Bonsai trees are carefully cultivated in trays or pots, allowing for precise control of their growth and creating beautifully miniaturized forms of nature.

At Shunka-en, you’ll be introduced to the techniques and aesthetics of bonsai by a skilled artist in one of the most prestigious bonsai gardens in the world. If you have questions, the staff and assistants will gladly help you engage with the experience.

During the workshop, you’ll shape and style your own bonsai while learning about their history, philosophy, and cultivation. Please note that created bonsai must remain at the museum and cannot be taken home, but the knowledge and appreciation you gain will last you a lifetime.
