What this is
The Kids Florist Workshop is a hands-on floral design class run by the florists of Aoyama Flower Market, one of Tokyo's most beloved and stylish flower shop chains. Children aged 5–12 get to select their own seasonal flowers and greenery, then arrange them into a bouquet or display piece to take home. The workshop takes place in a recreated flower shop setting inside MAR'S Minami-Aoyama Building, giving kids an authentic behind-the-scenes feel of a working florist. Participants wear an official Aoyama Flower Market apron and are guided through professional techniques by experienced staff. It's a rare opportunity for young children to engage with Japan's deeply rooted flower culture in a structured, creative environment.
Who should go
This workshop is ideal for families with children aged 5–12 who want a creative, hands-on activity away from screens and tourist crowds. It suits parents looking for a meaningful souvenir experience — the finished arrangement goes home with the child. The intimate flower shop setting makes it a calm, unhurried activity that works well even for younger or shyer kids. Note that parent supervision is required due to scissor use, so at least one adult must accompany each child participant.
Good to know
Tickets should be booked directly through Aoyama Flower Market's official channels or the event listing platform — check whether foreign credit cards are accepted at the time of booking, as some smaller workshop bookings in Japan require a Japanese payment method or convenience store payment. The venue is MAR'S Minami-Aoyama Building, a boutique commercial building in the upscale Minami-Aoyama district. Capacity for this type of workshop is typically small — likely 10–20 participants — so early reservation is strongly advised. The session is conducted in Japanese, so non-Japanese-speaking families may want to bring a translation app or ask in advance whether English support is available. The finished flower arrangement is yours to keep, so plan your onward journey accordingly — a sturdy tote bag is helpful.
