It was a wonderful experience for our family! The booking process on Veltra was straight forward and most importantly, in English. We decided to make mini ice cream sundaes as they were small and easy to bring home. We received the confirmation email on the very same day. On the actual day, the train line that we needed to take was down due to passenger injury. Thus we needed to change 5 different JR and metro lines to get to the place, instead of the original 2. We called Yamato sample workshop to inform them and they were very kind to wait for us. When we finally made our way there, we were pleasantly surprised that the instructor could speak English quite well. We could customised our sundaes by picking the colour and "fruits"we wanted. The instructor guided us step-by-step, and we found it really easy to follow his instructions. We were so proud of our own creation! If we were to visit Tokyo again, we would like to try own hands at making either a bowl of ramen or tempura prawns with lettuce. :)

Wear a real kimono? Check that off the bucket list and preserve those memories in one easy experience. The studio is conveniently located near to Meguro station, within walking distance, even for a two and three year old. The two owners are fluent in English and were EXCELLENT in helping to prepare and photograph my rambunctious toddlers...not an easy feat! Our family looked GREAT and the pictures are fantastic!
My only caution is that although the description reads "40 cuts", you actually only receive your top two choices and need to pay more in order to have all of your pics put onto a cd. It was still a reasonable price, it's just that we weren't expecting additional costs prior to arriving, although it was made clear to us at the beginning of the session.
All in all, the ladies went above and beyond to give us a wonderful family experience.
Dear HappyHawaiian, thank you very much for your review. We are very happy that you had a great time here. Yes, we had a very good time with your kids as well! And I really apprecaite your advice about the price. I've been thinking how to clearly state about the price of all of the pictures (with my limited English ability). We consider it and will state clearly for our customers' satisfaction. Arigato-gozaimasu :)

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!

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.

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.

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!

The food looks so realistic!

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!

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.

屋形船に乗るなら絶対夏だなーとなんとなく思っていましたが、12月はクリスマスイルミネーションと花火があると聞いて真冬の屋形船に乗ってきました!
勝どき駅から徒歩5分くらいの船着場に集合。忘年会シーズンということもあり、思った以上に人が集まってました。暫く待って乗船し、すぐに飲み物が配られ、出発。12月の土曜は花火がお台場で花火があるため普段とは逆ルートで回るとのこと。クリスマスイルミネーションのお台場に向かって進んで行き、暫らく止まって花火待ち。その間にも揚げたてサクサクの天ぷらが配られ、料理にも大満足!花火前は甲板に出る人も少なく、イルミネーションと他の屋形船が光を放ってなんとも言えない綺麗さでした。19時に花火が始まって2階に上がってみると目の前にはレインボーブリッジと大輪の花火!ベスポジでした!!10分程度と短い時間でしたが最高でした。花火が終わって残りの料理を食べつつ、浅草方面へ。クリスマス仕様で緑色に光るスカイツリーも見れて、改めて東京の良い所が見れました。運びとガイドをしていたお姉さんは英語も堪能で、海外から友人が来たら是非また利用しようと思います♪

約3年前に続き2回目の参加です。
他も見ましたが義理の母、私の両親を招待するので、自分が前回満足できたこちらに再度お願いすることにしました。
当日は集合まで浜離宮をぷらぷら、築地を通って集合場所まで東京散歩。ライトアップされ始める時間で綺麗でした。
黎明橋からすぐ見える乗り場にはすでに二艘停泊していて、参加者の方も多く集まっていました。
一艘はどこか会社の貸切で、もう一艘が私達の乗合でした。
乗り込む際からスタッフの薫子さんが英語と半々で案内してくださったので、日本語が分からない義母にも安心でした。前回は無かったサービスだと思いますが、客層に合わせた器量でのおもてなしだったのかもしれません。
季節の前菜から嬉しかったですが、2歳の子供、両親にはやはり一品一品出てくる江戸前天ぷらがお気に入りのようでした!飲み放題も嬉しいですよね。たくさん勧めていただけます笑
義母は扇子状のメニュー兼東京案内に喜んでいました。ポイントポイントでデッキでの写真撮影も欠かせないですが、細かなところがおもてなしにピッタリなんですね。
今回小さな子供はうちの子だけでしたが、薫子さんのケアを始め周りの方のご理解があり、居心地よく過ごさせていただきました。
終盤では隣のグループの方と父が同郷ということが分かって一気に一体感が高まり、乗合の醍醐味みたいなものを感じられる時間でした。
また参加させていただきますね!

The guides on the boat only spoke Japanese, so we had no idea what we were looking at or what they were saying. They did a lot of speaking. Even ordering plum wine was a challenge. I feel that they should have had some narration for non-Japanese speaking people. What we saw was very pretty and the food was very good, so the only complaint is language problem.
