Children’s painting & 3D art classes in Den-en-chofu

An 11-minute walk from Yukigaya-Otsuka Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line (also 14 minutes from Den-en-chofu and Tamagawa stations on the Tokyu Toyoko Line; on Kanpachi-dori, near Nikki Golf). An art school where children from age 3 through elementary, junior high and high school learn painting, 3D art and arts & crafts in a dedicated studio. Since opening in 2013, it has welcomed children from Den-en-chofu, Yukigaya, Okusawa and Oyamadai.

What we value at Den-en-Chofu Studio

GAJYUKU teaches hands-on painting and 3D art according to the same educational approach at every studio. Our goal is not a “polished” piece of work or “being good at it.” We believe the joy and sense of achievement that come from making something with their own hands is what builds children’s confidence. We don’t make everyone keep in step; we value time when each child can enjoy creating at their own pace. What matters is not the finished piece but what children feel, discover and think along the way. The process itself is the artwork. And throughout the year, the children immerse themselves in that creative process as they work toward our annual exhibition.

Small classes, so we can give every child our attention

To bring out each child’s individuality, Den-en-Chofu Studio limits classes to 10 children and staffs each class according to its size. Classes are taught by art specialists who work as artists, designers and illustrators.

Who it’s for & classes

Preschool Class (ages 3–6, kindergarten/nursery): enjoy the basics of painting and 3D art, weekly or biweekly
Elementary Class (ages 6–12): serious, ongoing hands-on study
Teen Class (junior & senior high): specialist work such as drawing and three-dimensional art
Combined Preschool & Elementary Class (Sat/Sun): preschoolers and elementary students together
*The Teen Class is not currently running, but we will open it on request.
