Beginner-Friendly Japanese Koto Harp Music Lesson in Tokyo

Excellent introduction to Koto Harp!

Reviewed by: David UK

The teacher was very good, her English was excellent and she explained everything very clearly. With no previous experience I was able to play a tune very quickly and the lesson was structured to allow me to play the tune with additional notes to add further detail / harmony to the melody.

The teacher was very patient and clearly knew her instrument very well; I felt that the lesson was worth every penny and was a unique and memorable experience.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A great sample food making experience!

Reviewed by: Alister D

After spending out whole trip thinking we wouldn't we able to learn how to make sample food due to our lack of conversational Japanese, we finally found this place! We had a great time making the sample ramen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also enthusiastic to talk about the different methods of sample food making and the history behind it. Easy to find and easily accessible. A highlight of the trip!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

An amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Shaz

We had a young chap who spoke quite good English for a Japanese, to run through what we were supposed to do.

The whole process was very fun and it was amazing to see the other fake food items that the store makes too!

The only downside is finding this place, it is in a small and quiet neighbourhood in Tokyo. However it was also fun exploring the area once you're there.

Highly recommended, not only for families with young kids but adults as well!

乗合屋形船 お台場＆スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理＆飲み放題付！ 全船掘りごたつ＆スカイデッキ完備＜両国発＞by 晴海屋

三世代で屋形船を満喫しました！

Reviewed by: いずみん

九州から出てきた両親と共に、東京らしい夜の過ごし方ということで、三世代で屋形船に参加しました。この屋形船は2年前の冬に参加して、今回で2回目。やっぱり安定したサービスクオリティです。もちろん今回も満足です！

一番の楽しみの料理は、前回よりもグレードがアップしていたような気がします。季節感が感じられる前菜は、一つ一つが手が込んでいて、どれも美味。普段はあまり野菜や豆腐などを食べない子供たちも「美味しい！」と平らげていました。屋形船の醍醐味である揚げたての天麩羅は、文句なし！天つゆもいいですが、揚げたてなのでシンプルに塩が美味しかったです。デザートは果物と和菓子の2種類。かなりお腹いっぱいになりました。

飲み放題は、ビール（一番搾り！）や焼酎（サワー類）、ワイン、梅酒など種類も多く、下船までの時間が惜しかったくらい...。欲を言えば、ソフトドリンクの種類がもう少しあるといいかなと思いました（子供向けは、コーラとオレンジジュースの2種類です）。

前回はアイスクリーム売りの船が来ましたが、今回はあさりの佃煮売りの船が来ました。1パック1000円と今考えて見れば少し高いのですが、残り僅かということで両親と自分の家用に2個購入したところで、売り切れ御礼。ラッキー。船の上で買い物をするという非日常感で、良い思い出になりました。

東京スカイツリーやお台場の夜景は、何度見てもいいですね。個人的には真っ赤な東京タワーの夜景が一番好きです。12月の土曜日にはお台場で花火が行われるようですので、その時期であれば、もっと屋形船を楽しめると思います。

  • 季節の前菜＆お造り。どれも美味しかった～！

  • 揚げたての天麩羅は、屋形船の醍醐味です。

  • 一通り食事が終わると、夜景タイム。

  • 他の船で売りに来た佃煮屋さん。人気で、売り切れ御礼でした。

  • フジテレビ本社はカラフルです。

2度目の参加

Reviewed by: taro

昨年参加した際、誕生日のお客さんをみんなでお祝いするイベントがありました。
それを見た息子が次の誕生日は絶対屋形船にもう一度乗りたいと言っていたので、今回誕生日に合わせてまた参加させてもらいました。

揚げたての天ぷらは相変わらずおいしく、これで飲み放題というのは本当にありがたいです。
スタッフの方の大半は前回と違っていたのですが、前回も今回も皆さん本当に気持ちの良い方ばかりで楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

さらに今回はサプライズで芸人さんが同乗しており、南京玉すだれと獅子舞を披露してくださいました。
外国からのお客さんも多数乗船していたのでとても盛り上がりました。

そして待望のお祝いイベント。
うちの子2人以外にも何人か誕生日の方がいて、全員でお祝いをしました。
この日は誕生日だけでなく、何と当日結婚されたばかりの方まで乗船しており幸せな空気を分けていただきました。

景色、料理、お酒だけでなく、この一体感も屋形船の醍醐味なのだなと感じた一日でした。

初屋形船でした！

Reviewed by: どちお

父、叔父、私の3人で参加。
父と私は初屋形船で、とても楽しい経験をさせていただきました。

乗り場は大江戸線勝どき駅エキチカ。
周辺に土地勘のない我々でもわかりやすく助かりました。

美人キャビンアテンダントさんに名前を確認してもらって、乗船。
乗り込んですぐのところにキッチンが見えたので、スタッフさんに挨拶すると
「楽しんでいってくだいね〜」と笑顔で応えていただいて、ウキウキ度倍増。

同乗のお客さんは、サラリーマンの方々や90歳バースデイの淑女グループなど様々でした。
おしどり夫婦おふたりのテーブルもあり、屋形船＝宴会のイメージだった私は
「様々なシーンに使えるんだなぁ」と、目からちょっとした鱗が落ちました。

船が走り出すと、結構なモーター音に臨場感を覚えながらも、
窓の外に見える街あかりや橋のライトアップにわくわく！
要所要所でキャビンアテンダントさんによる案内が入ったりして、
写真好きな父もシャッターチャンスを逃すことなく、ほくほくの様子でした。

お食事もおいしかったです。
天ぷらが揚げたてなのは嬉しかった！
お野菜からお魚から、ぺろりと平らげてしまいました。
あと、飲み放題ビールが瓶だったのも、ゴージャス気分。うふふ。

非日常感たっぷりのひとときを過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました！

Yakatabune Dinner Cruise on Tokyo Bay

Reviewed by: Tina

We decided spontaneously to join a boat trip, and we didn't regret it at all. The atmosphere was extremely friendly, the staff was kind and very attentive.
It is worth to try the trip even with kids, as we did with 7 and 10 years old.
We had lots of fun on the boat, even though we were the only foreigners there and we didn't really understand all the food and cultural presentation that was provided for the guests.

Reviewed by: Paul.

What a special evening. The instructor was an eager young woman and the craft shop owners were present as well, and we had a friendly evening talking about the craft of ceramic repair, learning and talking about Tokyo and my travels. They were eager to impart their knowledge, and the atmosphere was casual and friendly. I recommended the class to an attendee of another workshop, and I've seen that she took this class as well. I'm hoping she enjoyed it as much as me.

Nothing Short of AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: TLV9185

This cruise really made our trip! The food was excellent, the service was phenomenal, and we even got personal attention by an English-speaking guide (as we were the only English-speaking on the boat). We saw so many great sights and had so many awesome photo opportunities.

You are seated at your own individual table and it is a very nice "date-night" setting. The group all together was in great cheer and intermingled between meals and during the rooftop sightseeing.

The weather was fair and it rained a little but this did not affect the spirits of the crew, the passengers, or any of the amazing sights we saw!

This boat ride is a MUST for your next trip to Tokyo!!!

Wonderful birthday dinner party

Reviewed by: sonoko31

This night went beyond our expectations. We had a great time with all the people on board,who were mainly Japanese. The MC/hostess was bilingual and such a lovely woman,friendly and hard-working. Entertainment was a bonus and the food was really fresh and authentic. It was a perfect evening for us and we were expecting a mediocre night because of the rain. Luckily it stopped just as we got into Odaiba and we could take in the amazing view. I can`t believe I haven`t done this before. Highly recommended and worth the cost.

Well worth it!

Reviewed by: Rachel

This cruise is great, I would highly recommend! It was mostly Japanese with a couple of Westerners, however they made us feel very welcome, giving all commentaries/instructions in Japanese and (good) English and just generally the staff were very friendly.

The food is good and plentiful and drink just keeps flowing with a good selection. A lot of the food was fish (no meat) so it may be difficult if you're a vegetarian, unless you can request. Nothing was too odd though (I dont like eating random things!) and I ate and loved it all!

The staff explain the various sites you go past and even though it was pouring with rain we still got a good overview and some great photos. They stop a couple of times so you can have a look and go onto the top of the boat

The people around us were friendly and we just felt like even though we were in the minority we were very welcome!

It was one of the highlights of our trip and I would say go for it, there are not many cruises like it as far as I can tell and it feels very authentic.

Ever since seeing one of those gold-repaired tea bowls I wanted to try it, and this was a really fun morning class. It was a really 'local' experience as there were few neighborhood ladies doing crafts at the same time, and it was cool to explore the area around the studio. The teacher was super sweet, and can speak basic English. She even served sweets and coffee, a lovely bonus!

We booked the sundae workshop, and after completing it we realised we should of booked a full day and done all of them!
I booked this (female) for my partner and I to do, he wasnt looking forward to it but ending up having alot of fun.
The guy we had was fantastic, we took lots of photos, he explained everything perfectly.
It was alittle tricky to find, we did follow the directions but went too far - the place is part of a house, and there is a little sliding door where you need to go. So if you end up at a t-intersection after it says it is on the left hand side you have gone too far.

My 5 yr old did this and the tart keychain. Although he was too small to handle the piping 'gun', he really wanted to try it. The instructor did a great job in helping my son hold the gun and guide it while still allowing him to still feel like he did the piping! It's very similar to the tart making in that you pick 5 decorative items, pipe the cream then decorate!
