About Japan Tour 2025

This year, the Irony Japan Tour, which will take you around Japan with bouquet lessons and drinking parties, will begin on January 22nd.

This bouquet lesson is
I like the irony flower,
They were taking online lessons,
I go and meet everyone who is taking lessons at a nearby certified school.
Because, of course,
I've never tied a bouquet before, but I'd like to try.
Some people say,
I always like the irony of flower photos.
I'm looking forward to Instagram.
Some people say,
I'd like to take a lesson on irony, but I can't seem to take the first step.
Especially for people like that!
It looks like Taniguchi will be coming nearby.
So I would be happy if you could take a step forward.
I would be happy if you could join my Irony Flower family.
This is the event.

For beginners, it's hard to understand what it is,
I find it difficult to take a step forward,
I will briefly explain the process.
In most cities, we arrange for the venue to be a hotel that is easily accessible and located near a station.

When I got to the hotel venue,
Taniguchi will be waiting for you at the reception desk.
Taniguchi travels alone to most cities.
Please tell your name at the reception desk,
When you enter the room,
Spring flowers are already on the table.
The scent of sweet peas fills the air.

Chairs were placed around the table where Taniguchi gave his first demonstration and explanation,
If you are a first timer, please feel free to sit in the front seats where you can get a good view.

When everyone gathers,
Taniguchi closes the door and comes over to the demo table.
First, we will introduce the instructors from certified schools in various locations.
One of the goals of the Japan Tour is to promote accredited schools.
This year, the number of schools will exceed 75.

Then Taniguchi's demonstration began.
Since this is for beginners, there will be more detailed explanations than usual.
We will explain how to tie a basic bouquet and then show you how to tie it.
Every year I try to get laughs with the same jokes,
The regulars were like, "Here we go again."
They are all kind people who laugh as if it is the first time they have heard it.

And once the demo is over, it's your turn.
You will then move to the lesson table and each person will take a flower material and arrange it into a bouquet.
A little chat at each table,
If there is something you don't understand, ask questions,
I'll bundle it up.

Taniguchi walked around the tables,
Most of the time, all I say is, "It's good, it's good, it's beautiful."
It's really beautiful.
Once it's finished, I'll ask Taniguchi to come and show it to me.
In Taniguchi's lessons, he gives advice but does not judge,
Please let me know your thoughts.

Taniguchi praises me twice as much as I expect him to.
The bouquets of spring flowers are so beautiful.
Once it was finished, we took a commemorative photo with Taniguchi holding the bouquet.

Everyone was taking photos of themselves together, so even people who didn't really need to take photos were considerate and made a line, so
I'm turning 50 this year, but I'm going to become an idol.

And finally, we took a commemorative photo together and finished the event.
I was repeatedly recommended the merchandise corner.
He signed photo books and calendars,
I signed things like totes and pouches,
Here again, Taniguchi becomes like an idol.

and!
It doesn't end here!
During the Japan tour, we will go out for drinks with everyone who wishes to after lessons in various locations.
It's called a social gathering.
After all, it's different when you talk over a meal or a drink.
Let's become friends. Flower friends.
Lessons are held during the day, so if your schedule doesn't suit you,
If you receive the lesson materials at the reception venue, please write in the comments section.
You can also join the social gathering.

The lessons will be archived as videos.
At the reception, Taniguchi will arrange a special bouquet!
Participants will compete in a rock-paper-scissors tournament.
This is the most exciting time.

That,
It's held in each city every day.

Compared to when I was going to local lessons on a one-off basis,
If we make it a series and call it a Japan Tour,
People who are connected on Instagram,
Although we were in different cities, it felt like we were participating in the same event.
There is now a sense of unity.
In a place other than the city where you live,
To meet my flower friends who I connected with on Instagram,
People who join us in other cities while traveling,
Some people are joining in multiple cities, making it feel like a festival.

This year, the number of people who participate every year has increased,
Instead of roses, ranunculus is the main focus.
I'm thinking of bringing a bouquet.
Of course, pansies and sweet peas too!
That's it!

Since joining the Japan tour, I've come to enjoy flowers even more!
There are a lot of people who say this.
Please come along and join us! Make a reservation here!
