詳細
⚠️ Please Note: This event is exclusively for Native English Speakers, (Citizens of the EU), and Native Japanese Locals.
Are you tired of language exchanges where the conversation never goes beyond "Where are you from?" If you're looking for authentic connection with genuine Japanese locals through the beauty of traditional culture, this is for you!
Join us for a Traditional Japanese Culture & Play Exchange! We believe the best way to master "real" Japanese and build true friendships is while doing—not just staring at textbooks.

### 🎯 Why Join Our Culture-Based Exchange?
- Hands-on Tradition: Don’t just watch! Try your hand at Shodo (Calligraphy), master the Kendama, and fold intricate Origami with help from local experts.
- Real Locals Only: No more "half-baked" conversations. Practice your Japanese with native speakers who live and work right here in Kobe.
- No Awkward Silences: Whether you're trying to land a Kendama trick or picking up an Ohajiki (glass marble), the activities keep the energy high and the talk flowing naturally.

### 🧑🏫 About the Host
With experience living in Canada and a TESOL certification, I bridge the gap between Japanese locals and the international community. I ensure the environment is welcoming, the Japanese is authentic, and everyone has a blast! I'll help translate the tricky parts of Japanese culture into easy-to-understand English.
