About this experience
Try the unique experience of learning to draw manga with a professional manga artist. A chance to learn how your favorite mangas are drawn! Developed in their modern form during the 19th century, manga has a long history in Japanese art culture. Manga is said to originate from emakimono dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. During the Edo period, another book of drawings, Toba Ehon, embedded the concept of manga. And in this way, many artists have influenced the development of comics over centuries. In this lesson, you'll enjoy learning the classic techniques for drawing all the details of a character (eyes, expression, body, movements) or a place! And you'll be using the classic tools used by Japanese manga artists! At first sight difficult, by learning these techniques, you'll see that it's less difficult than you might think! The small-group manga drawing lesson in an old house will be an irreplaceable sightseeing experience in Japan.

Once in a lifetime opportunity
Amazing manga drawing experience! Once in a lifetime opportunity to be taught by the professional manga artist! Loved it! Also got her mangas signed to me personally :) Don’t miss out this opportunity when in Tokyo! :)
via Viator
I had a delightful experience with manga art.
I had the opportunity to use professional tools I had never used before, and the instructor enhanced my work while preserving the character of my lines. Since the class was small, I felt comfortable asking questions without hesitation.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo cost?
+
Prices start at $19000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manga Artist Experience with Professional Guidance in Tokyo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
