Program Description:

Discover the richness of Japanese culture, practice the art of the language, and connect with fellow enthusiasts at our Cool Nihongo Workshop! Whether you're fascinated by Japan, its culture, or simply intrigued by customs beyond your own, these workshops offer the perfect space for exploration. 

  

Nihongo means “Japanese language” in Japanese. It is pronounced “Knee - Hone - Goh" and just like that, you’ve already learned your first word! During our Cool Nihongo Workshops, our instructors curate monthly topics ranging from season-specific themes to etiquette, literature, and essential travel phrases. Take home a reference handout as we guide you through interactive activities centered around the chosen content. You can also mingle with other learners during dedicated practice time! 

  

To enhance your experience, Cool Nihongo guests are invited to enjoy complimentary Garden admission, allowing you to stroll through our serene paths before or after the gathering. Dive into the beauty of Japan and its language with us!
