★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 105 reviews · from $92Our pick

Make udon, sushi, gyoza, tempura, matcha, origami, and calligraphy in a welcoming Tokyo home with Taka and Keiko.

“A truly memorable experience. The lessons on origami, cooking, tea making and calligraphy were very educational, but what we will really remember is Taka Sans and Keiko Sans warmth and hospitality. If we hadn't had this experience, we would never have gotten to talk to people from this country and got some insight into their lives. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough”

Brian's guidance was both highly informative and filled with wit and humor, making the journey even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto as a fantastic side trip. In my opinion, Kanazawa remains an underrated gem for many first-time visitors to Japan.”

Daiki had his own larger van so the 3 of us had plenty of room. We went to a local Hot Pot restaurant at the end of your tour and it was great. Thank you Daiki!”
