### 🌟 Akihabara + Paint Your Own Daruma + Ueno Stroll 🌟
Get ready for a creative and cultural Saturday as we head into Akihabara 🎮⚡️, Tokyo’s electric town known for its anime, electronics, and quirky charm. But beyond the flashing lights lies a different side—small shops, quiet alleys, and hands-on experiences like our featured activity: painting your own Daruma doll 🎨👁️!
Daruma dolls are a symbol of good luck and perseverance in Japan 🍀. During the workshop, you’ll learn the history behind this iconic figure and paint your own design to bring home 🎁. Whether you’re artistic or just want a fun keepsake, it’s a beginner-friendly and relaxing creative experience.
Afterwards, we’ll take a short walk to Ueno 🏞️, where we’ll enjoy a casual stroll through the park, explore a few street vendors, or maybe even stop for a snack 🍡. It’s a great way to wrap up the day with some nature, food, and good company.
Perfect for solo explorers, creatives, or anyone looking to meet new people while doing something fun and hands-on 🧑🎨👯. Come join us!
