In our comparison: #15 of 24 in Samurai, Culture & Craft Workshops, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview This workshop is an unique experience for visitors who want to immerse themselves in the world of Japanese manga and anime culture. You will be supported by a professional manga artist who has been creating manga for over 20 years, using traditional techniques that have evolved over the past 100 years, allowing you to create your very own manga. Visitors will draw manga using the same process as a professional manga artist: ideation, rough sketching, drafting, inking, filling in solid blacks, applying screen tones, and adding speech bubbles. Don't worry if you're unsure about your drawing skills. With the support of a manga artist, those worries will disappear. In fact, people who had the same concerns have successfully completed high-quality manga in just two hours. *The minimum number of participants is 2 people. The fee for participation alone is the same as for two people. ## Before you book - Meeting point: 6F, - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 11:00, 14:00, 17:00: 3 departures a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €116 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.95/5 from 76 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: UNIQUE TRAVEL JAPAN - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: Chinese, English, Spanish - Start times: 11:00, 14:00, 17:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-07 ## Reviews 4.95 from 76 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 76 of 76. - 5 stars: 72 (95%) - 4 stars: 4 (5%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise patient teaching and artwork they are proud of; workshop address details have caused confusion **Praised:** - Patient instruction adapted to beginners and experienced artists - Learning manga tools, inking and screen tone techniques - Personal drawings based on chosen characters or reference photos - Helpful interpreters who support questions and conversation - Finished artwork that participants are pleased to take home **Complaints:** - Some find the directions clear, while others struggle with the workshop address Written by Guidekin from the 50 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-04-05 to 2026-09-03); last checked 2026-11-08. ## What's included - Manga Drawing Tools, including screen tone ## Not included - Bottled water - Snacks ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 11:00, 14:00, 17:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-11-07 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point 6F, Shibuya 3-chome TR Building, 3-8-11 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo The color of this building is black, and it is relatively thin building. https://maps.app.goo.gl/PVaQXtPjb64HuRms5 Ends: back at the meeting point ## Good to know - Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller - Public transportation options are available nearby - Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap - Suitable for all physical fitness levels ## Compared with other Samurai, Culture & Craft Workshops | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #15 of 24** | €116 | 2h 30m | 4.95 (76) | shared | | [Pixel Lab Tokyo: Gameboy Mod Workshop (Classic/Color/Advance/SP)](/japan/tokyo/tours/pixel-lab-tokyo-gameboy-mod-workshop-classic-color-advance-sp/?format=md) | €336 | 3h | 5.0 (221) | shared | | [Tokyo: Game Boy Mod Workshop in Akihabara (Original/Advance)](/japan/tokyo/tours/tokyo-game-boy-mod-workshop-in-akihabara-original-advance/?format=md) | €347 | 2h | 5.0 (177) | shared | | [Tokyo:Samurai Sword & Archery with a Master Swordsman](/japan/tokyo/tours/tokyo-samurai-sword-archery-with-a-master-swordsman/?format=md) | €174 | 3h | 5.0 (155) | shared | Ranked #15 of 24 in Samurai, Culture & Craft Workshops by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
