We weren't sure what to expect with this dinner as it's a very reasonable cost we had low expectations, however were very pleasantly suprised. The hosts at Shozan were very friendly and accomodating and the food was lovely and traditional.
The arrival of our Maiko was announced and she danced so beautifully allowing the the rare opportunity for a photo with her even a few questions, followed by a walk in the gardens.
The bus tour allowed us an insight into places for us to visit in the following days.
Thanks for a great evening!

The kimono dressing experience was truly amazing and definitely something that will be worthwhile doing again. The whole process was well thought out and really added to the fun experience. This is a once in a lifetime event so we really hoped for it to be good. We weren't too sure about it at first because it was our first time going there, but from the beginning, the lady who dressed us politely directed us through the whole process. We had seen some people dressed in kimonos when walking around different areas, but some were messy and looked rush. This is why we were anxious to find out how we would be dressed. Although it was a lengthy process to finally get us fully dressed in the kimono, much time and effort was put into dressing us neatly and beautiful by the lady who dressed us. She was also very conscious if we were comfortable in our kimono also which made the dressing process much easier and better for us. After getting dressed and ready to go, we realised the weather wasn't good for a kimono photo shoot as it was raining heavily. Luckily there was a cherry blossom tree inside the building just three floors down from where we were getting dressed. The lady who dressed us also then educated us into how to climb stairs and sit in a kimono, which really helped people who were new to wearing a kimono like us. Overall the experience was very enjoyable and we would definitely recommend it. It is a once in a lifetime experience for us, and we were lucky to get it done by great experienced professional people and a place which catered for everything! What a great kimono experience! Would definitely recommend this place.

The Instructors were such lovely folks--they really made the experience fun. Good activity for adults or children. The workshop is a bit out of the way, but located in a very pleasant residential neighborhood--nice for a stroll away from the busy Tokyo tourist sites. Very good price, since you'd easily pay more just to buy a "sampuru" much less make your own.

We really enjoyed making plastic sample Ramen. Our instructor had a lot of knowledge about the process and was a lot of fun. All of the employees were nice.
The location was easy to find. We were greeted at the door and began work on our ramen. The process was easy and and gave a great result. All three of our bowls of ramen looked different and reflected our ramen artistry. :-)
A family with younger children came in later to make colorful parfaits, they also had a great time.
I would highly recommend this for families, groups, couples and singles. The sample food makes a great souvenir from Japan. Be sure to pick up a few extra pieces for friends at home.
Dad: Awesome! Friendly!
Boy: Much wow! Very nice! Can we do it again?

It was finished in delicious ramen.I am pleased at times of memories in Japan.

We were very pleased with the wonderful dinner set out ready for our arrival. I am vegetarian but could not organise prior notice, so the hostess explained the food types and which were suitable for me. Three of our party are elderly and stools were quickly provided for them. The Maiko was exquisite and performed two dances with opportunity for photos at the end. The walk through the gardens was like a magical forest.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend as an insight into Japanese culture

The Kuges were so genuinely warm and inviting! Regrettably we had been a bit lost and arrived a few minutes late to the class. They were very forgiving and welcomed us into their creative space with a light snack and coffee. The studio was small and charming, and had shelves full of sculptures and pottery of all sizes. They showed us a few of their pieces and explained what we were going to do that day. They spoke English fairly well and were able to explain the steps easily. The atmosphere was casual and we were able to take the time to enjoy their company. We didn't feel rushed at all. Our finished pieces were carefully packed in plastic containers which we'd like to add, made it back to the U.S. safely! We had a delightful afternoon with the Kuges and were so excited by our new skill that we stopped by a nearby Tokyu Hands right after class to buy supplies to do our own Kintsugi at home! Overall, it was an enjoyable cultural experience! We highly recommend Kintsugi and Kuge Crafts as a way to experience a bit of Japanese culture outside of the common tourist hotspots.

This is a really interesting workshop, and at the end of the day you get to take your creation home. We did the Ice Cream Sundae workshop.
The workshop leader does speak a bit of English, and they try their best to communicate with you to ensure you are on the right track. They are very patient and really doesn't push you to make a decision quickly when choosing specific ingredients (...we can't choose from so many cute things lol). We felt relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.
The location itself is easy to find, and if you arrive a little early, you can always chill at the Lawson (convenient store) to grab a bite. Overall highly recommended :)

今回のようなお坊さんに解説していただいて読経までしていただいたのは、初めての体験です。
最初の鑑真和尚のお話では、仏教伝来への真摯な思いに感動し、天平の時代の息吹を感じることができました。
次に金堂の御本尊の釈迦牟尼如来をはじめ並ぶ千手千眼菩薩、薬師如来の国宝のみほとけさまがたを拝しながら、お話を聞きました。仏像から滲み出るオーラはさすがのもので、いずれ劣らず素晴らしい仏像でした。
そしてお坊さまがたが学んだという講堂をまわり、最後に普段は上がれない 礼堂に上がることが出来ます。そこは「日供舎利塔」といい、鑑真和尚が持参されたブッタの舎利をおまつりしているとのことでした。由来を聞き近くに拝させていただくことができます。そのお堂でお坊さんに皆の幸いを祈って読経していただきこのツアーの終了です。
この唐招提寺うまし奈良ツアーでは、天平の時代の息吹に触れ、み仏のお慈悲に触れるありがたいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。皆さんも是非体験していただきたいと思います。
