“It was an experience in a very beautiful facility with good access from the station. I think that such an experience depends on the teacher's goodness, but he was a very nice teacher who overflowed with good character. It gave me knowledge I didn't know about ikebana, provided easy-to-understand guidance and exciting time. I hope to go back for a calm time with flowers.Auto-translated”
