Extraordinary Japan.

WHAT IS OUR TYPE OF TOUR?
As with all our tours, we offer sketching, drawing , journalling and food illustration tours to anyone: from those who are new to this way of travelling to people  who are experienced artists.
Whether you are an inspired cook who wants to document recipes, a traveller who wants to journal daily life on the road, or a sketcher looking to improve their skills or just travel in a fun group learning, developing and laughing along the way - then this is the tour for you!
Our tours allow you to see the world and also journal it in drawing and painting each day with the help of wonderful, caring artist teachers.
Anyone can join our tours and leave with their own beautiful memento and make great new friends.
Everyone learns at their own pace
