Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Fun and easy

Reviewed by: Ali, 2018/01/13

The venue is small and a little hard to find but the staff is really nice and personable, with just four stations. We arrived a little late but the staff didn't mind. They speak enough English to explain the steps and also have small talk. We learned a little about the history and the process of plastic food and had a blast with the actual project. It was very laid back and relaxed. The process was easily explained and the staff made each step easy to follow as well. It went faster than we expected. I'd do it again!

着物・浴衣レンタル 名古屋の街を着物で散策 子供用や男性用もご用意<午前・午後/KKRホテル名古屋内/名古屋市>

Nice clerk

Reviewed by: Japanese girl, 2018/01/04

年末に利用しました。残念ながら名古屋城は休館でしたが、熱田神宮と大須に行きました。大須までは地下鉄乗り換え無しですぐです。名古屋城は目の前です。彼は外国人でしたが着物はありました。彼も喜んでました。店員さんはいつも笑顔でフレンドリーです。
We are a couple. This shop is in a hotel. It places in front of Nagoya castle. We visited to Osu and Atsuta shrine. It’s not far from this shop by metro. I’m Japanese and my boyfriend is from Europe. I was worried if they don’t have a big size Kimono for him. But it was no problem. All clerks are so nice and friendly.

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 <南阿佐ヶ谷>by 手仕事屋久家

Great beginners class on Kintsugi!

Reviewed by: Yorsh, 2017/12/23

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our class with Kuge crafts! We started with introductions and some lovely home made cake. Then we got to chose our cups that we will work on and keep. Would recommend to pick a cup with a bigger chip as that would mean a bigger part of the cup will be fixed.

The process was easy to follow as Yoshi showed step by step examples. They also provided the tools and materials (i.e. putty, gold dust, resin etc) which made it a convenient class.

At the end, we received photos taken during the class and a list of tools and materials we can purchase at Tokyu Hands if we wanted to continue back home. The teachers were both friendly, inviting us to write back if we had more questions.

A great class and would highly recommend for a memorable experience!

江戸切子体験 十数種のグラスと数十もの柄サンプルから選べる 講座付きのプランもあり<浅草駅 徒歩3分!創吉浅草店>

簡単楽しい!良い思い出となりました

Reviewed by: Patchi, 2017/12/18

浅草で数時間の空きができたので参加。
まずはグラス選びから。追加料金で色付きのグラスを選ぶこともできます。その後はデザインを決め、練習→本番。怪我をしないかとても不安でしたがその心配は不要で、想像より安全で平易な作業でした。
決してきれいな出来映えではなかったと思いますが、とにかく楽しくて大満足。このグラスでお酒を飲む度に今回の体験を思い出すんだろうなあ...と今からとても楽しみです!

(一階にあるグラスショップもとても素敵でした。大切なイベントの際にぜひ購入してみたいです)

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

For fun times, make it Yakatabune times!

Reviewed by: JNDCali, 2017/11/28

We spent a week in Tokyo and this ended up being one of our favorite things about the trip. Amazing service, great food and all you can drink. Tokyo bay is very beautiful at night and this cruise lasted over 2 hours taking us to several nice view points where we could snap photos from the upper deck. Our main host for the evening was Kaoruko, she was so nice and friendly making sure the food was to our liking and made sure we always had a drink in our hand. She would explain the different areas of the bay we were exploring in both Japanese and English so that we could understand. Anyone visiting Tokyo should fit this cruise into their itinerary.

Family Friendly Memorable Kimono Studio Photo Shoot in Nagoya

Mom’s Kimono Photoshoot

Reviewed by: Aurora, 2017/11/13

This year is one of my mom’s most memorable visits in japan because of my surprise gift to her. I asked her to go with me in Nagoya to have a special lunch and after that we went straight to the kimono studio where all the friendly staff were waiting to do her hair and make-up for the kimono photoshoot. All the employees were so nice they tried to find the right kimono and shoe size for my mom. My mom enjoyed dressing in kimono. I can’t wait to share her beautiful photos. It was an amazing birthday experience for my mom.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

NO Services

Reviewed by: Billy Q-Groupleader , 2017/11/11

It was 34 people in our group. The waiter and waitress were so busy catering to two groups of Japanese customers (about 20 people), they did not offer for us to order any drink. Our group was trying to get their attention to order some beverages but they did not walk over to us. The show itself is ok but I would not recommend this event.

Great introductory experience

Reviewed by: David, 2017/10/22

My wife and I loved our beginner session with Kuge crafts. Yoshiichiro-san and Yoshiko-san were wonderful hosts and took the time to explain the process and let us take as long as we needed to perfect our repairs. Initially, I wanted to repair a fully shattered object rather than a small chip but actually repairing the two chips on my cup still took around 2 hours to do well, so any larger repairs would be over ambitious for a complete beginner. I would recommend this session to anyone interested in Kintsugi and enjoy your bonus cake and tea as well!

Although, we do not speak Japanese, he was so gracious to speak to us in English and was easy to understand, so funny and engaging! I would recommend this workshop to anyone, it was definitely a highlight in our trip to Japan!

  • My kids loved every minute, our sundaes turned out just beautiful, and what a success!!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Paula, 2017/10/04

The venue was easy to find, the signage outside made it clear we had arrived to our destination. The helpers were extremely sweet and enthusiastic about the history and process of food sample making. It took perhaps 30 minutes in total for the session-we chose to do the Full Size Parfait with 6 Pieces of Fruit. It was very quick. All of the pieces were pre-made. All we focused on was creating the parfait base and swirl. Very straightforward, fun little craft, also great souvenir to take home. Was just under the impression the process would be a bit more hands on - perhaps with the other options available? Interesting experience, would recommend to others to try at least once.

Great Post Wedding Photo Taking

We are so pleased with this experience. The make up and hairdo were well done. We short listed 3 kimonos beforehand and then chose 2 on the actual day. We were properly dressed in the grand wedding kimonos and then driven by the photographer in a 7 seater car to Yusentei, a wonderful house with a garden. Every time we move our assistant would adjust our kimonos. Service was excellent. The photos were very nice!
