Highly Recommend

we had a great time at the dinner. Recommend to come in June as you will see fireflies if the weather is good. Food is great and the service is amazing. Very worthwhile!

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

Sumida river cruise

Reviewed by: Annie

Lovely time for our group of 25! As we chartered the boat, we chose to go up the Sumida river rather than around Tokyo Bay, but still managed to fit in Skytree and Rainbow Bridge.
Even though we arrived unexcusably late, our host was lovely and started the clock from then on for the 2 hours...brilliant, friendly service on board, nice food.
A treat not only for our visitors but the locals as well, thouroughly recommend it!

京都高雄もみぢ家　川床ディナープラン納涼川床料理＋舞妓さんの京舞鑑賞日あり（2024/7/1～2024/9/22）＜川床席確約／送迎あり／高雄＞

憧れだった川床料理

Reviewed by: ETT

京都で川床料理、いつかずっとやってみたかったことが実現できました。
しかも舞妓さんもいるなんて。。と期待に旨を膨らませて参加しました。
京都市内から車で30分くらいかかります。ちょっと遠いですが、期待に胸が膨らみます。
座席に着くと既にお料理が用意されていました。かわいくてとても美味しい料理で、夢中で食べてしまいました。お料理を楽しんでいると舞妓さんの登場です。2曲程踊ってくれました！！感動です！舞妓さんと写真撮影もできますよ♪その後は私の行った時はホタルがいる時期だったので一瞬証明を全て落として真っ暗にしてくれます。数匹ですが、遠くの方にホタルを見ることができました！夏の夜なので虫さんは少し多いですが、しょうがないですね。。
それも自然なので楽しみましょう！総じて本当に満足しました！また是非いきたいです。

Reviewed by: Dan m.

Unfortunately we were late for our appointment, but the artist understood our troubles with the train and I am very honored that she waited for us politely to arrive very late! That being said, she and her English speaking business partner were extremely informative, kind, and helped us understand everything we wanted to know.

Japanese Calligraphy Lesson with Professional Shodo Artist in Tokyo

Very nice experience

Reviewed by: Isabelle

The experience was really enjoyable. The calligrapher took really took time to explain to us the process and technique. As she could not speak English we even had a translator/guide who could walk us through the explanation. At the end, we were able to draw a character on a nice paper and the calligrapher did one calligraphy for each of us. We could ask the word we wanted.

A beautiful Japanese art form

Reviewed by: Rachel

What a wonderful experience! I really enjoyed my afternoon with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko Kuge, who patiently taught me the basics of Kintsugi over coffee and cake. Even with my limited knowledge in Japanese, the Kuges spoke enough English to clearly explain each step to me. During the lesson, we chatted about other Torontonians who have crossed paths with the Kuges, which was pretty funny. Overall, a really lovely workshop and highly recommended for those looking to do something special and unique!

Unique, fun and such lovely people

Three of us had a very relaxed hour making ramen, a sundae and a tartlet key ring. They looked really professional. The owner showed us what to do and he and his wife were really lovely people, drawing us a map so we could get to our next port of call. This is such a unique experience and a fun Tokyo activity. The food looks so realistic!

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

Very Nice Experience!

Reviewed by: lchazeau

I have visited Japan many times but never experienced Yakatabune boat.
It is a ery nice and complete experience. You can enjoy nice views of Tokyo Bay and a delicious traditional Japanese Dinner. The food was very fresh with Apetizers, sushis, nice tempura cooked on the boat (Vegetables, nice fishes), rice, dessert and open bar.
Nice views from the top of the boat. Few stops to make picturs of Tokyo Skey tree, Rainbow bridges. The staff is very nice and has special attention to guests. Very typical experience, not so many foreigners, lots of Japanese people. We were all very happy and there was a very good atmosphere among guests. I definitely recommend this experience!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A great experience!

Reviewed by: Joyce

We participated in the ramen making activity. It was a fun experience and a highlight of our vacation to Tokyo. It was very easy to find the studio, located only minutes away from the subway station. We felt welcomed as soon as we entered the workshop. The instructor, who spoke English, was extremely polite, patient, and friendly. The project was very safe and easy. The final product looked delicious and good enough to eat! They also have some ready made samples of some other foods that one can purchase as well. Overall, this is a delightful activity that we highly recommend to those who want to try something different, especially something that is not typically offered in the United States.
