During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Among the items to include with your invitations, a map to the venue is indispensable.

Consider designing a handmade map—not only to ensure guests can find the venue without getting lost, but also to build excitement as they head there.

Use a reliable map portion from the venue’s official website, and add originality with landmarks and surrounding design elements.

Be sure to include the nearest station, important notes, and the full address while planning the layout.

It’s also a good idea to keep it compact so it’s easy to carry on the day.
