Takua San was a funny, cute, nice young man who taught me taiko. I was the only beginner in an advanced class, so he gave me my own personal lesson. I spoke a little Japanese, so we did the class in Japanese. It was mostly following patterns and rhythms, so the language barrier wasn't a problem. I had so much fun!

浅草へ行くのは初めてで、一人旅だったのでどうしようかと考え、こちらのお店へお願いする事に。スタッフさんはとても感じ良いし、着付けの手際も良かったです。普段は着ない着物を着て、カメラマンさんと一緒に浅草へ。オプションでお願いしていた写真撮影も、写真を撮るだけだと思っていたら、とっても丁寧に観光案内までして下さって本当に助かりました。写真撮影も本格的で、目線やポーズにまで気を遣っての撮影にびっくりしました。大変思い出に残る素敵な時間にして下さったスタッフの方々に感謝でいっぱいです。また機会があったら利用したいと思っております。ありがとうございました。

This was by far one of the coolest experiences we had during our three week trip to Japan. Our amazing tour guide (wish I could remember how to spell his name), met us in the lobby of our hotel then took us by train to the sumo stable. Before getting there he gave a us a helpful rundown about sumo wrestling and what to expect. At the practice we sat front row, close enough to touch the wrestler's. Seeing how strong and big they're was impressive. We also got to see just how hard they work. The only downside was sitting cross-legged on a thin mat for an hour and a half, which was a bit uncomfortable. I had to keep shifting my position.This may not be a good tour choice for someone who has knee or back problems. Because we were visiting during Golden Week, the main stadium building was open and we got to see that and the Sumo Museum as well. Just to give you an idea of how wonderful our guide was, after our sumo tour he took us via train to Tokyo Dome and helped us buy tickets for that days baseball game. He totally went out of his way to help us and did it all with a smile. What a world class tour guide and overall experience.
Dear Amanda,
Thank you very much for your feedback!
I'm sure our guide - Mr.Osamu Inoue - is really glad to hear your comment.
Not only sumo experience, but we also offers various Japanese cultural experience with great instructors like Mr.Osamu.
Please come by at another time in case you are to visit Japan again!
Many thanks and kind regards,

Our tea ceremony master was amazing! They spent the time to explain every aspect of the traditions and symbolism throughout the ceremony and made us feel welcome. We learned about the history, art, and motions of the tea ceremony. We truly appreciate their translator who assisted the master and made our experience all the better! If you are looking for an very one on one style of learning, definitely book this event. We will be spreading the word to all of our friends who go to Tokyo!!

The whole class was a blast! We learned about the origins of the painting, different techniques, and other aspects of Japanese culture.
The instructor, Yuta, was a very knowledgable, funny man, and a fantastic teacher! Eager to share said knowledge, and make the class as fun as possible.
The class itself, was super chill, and relaxing, as sumie should be. The gallery is full of Yuta's father's paintings, and helps create a calm, and beautiful environment to paint in!
If you're in Tokyo, then defiantly give this class a try! It' so much fun. The gallery is in a great area too, perfect for book lovers.

We were not sure what to expect, and were so happy and pleasantly surprised.
The three ladies who held the Tea Ceremony were all proficient in English. They treated us like Empresses and were gracious and kind.
We were dressed in the traditional outfits, which took time and patience on their part. The clothes and accessories were meticulously laid out and the process was flawless.
Once dressed, we were "guests" at the Tea Ceremony, and served tea after learning the process and the history. We then tried to emulate the process (I was not very good at that!) As a world traveler I have attended many events, but non matched this look back in to Japans history and the culture associated with this classic Japanese custom.
Dear Nadine,
Thank you very much for your comments!
I am sure that our instructors are delighted to see these comments and photos.
Look forward to accommodating you in another time.
Many thanks and kind regards,

From the moment I arrived I was welcome, the class and lesson was prepared.
The teacher was knowledgeable in the history of Sumi’e; his English was excellent and he engaged my interest, the process was explained well and he gauged well my ability.
I left the lesson pleased with what I had learnt and excited to continue learning more and experimenting with Sumie.
I would definitely recommend this class as a must do cultural experience:
Value for money, honestly I would happily have paid more, the ability and experience of the teacher was excellent.

I would recommend going with at least one of your friends or family members so you can face off against each other at the end. I was still able to get practice matches in against the instruction, but good friendly competition is always fun.

We basically dropped in on a regular class and did more basic beats with our teacher Shima (sp?) while the other students did more advanced techniques. It was like a video game with us on Beginner level and them on Advanced. Shima was great at making us keep the beat but also teaching us proper form. He has an awesome sense of humour and is very encouraging! It was super fun, and everyone was really welcoming! Even the other students!
