Dynamic Traditional Taiko Japanese Drumming Lesson in Tokyo
Takua San was a fun teacher.
Reviewed by: Brittney
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!

Sumo Wrestlers Morning Practice and Special Access Viewing in Tokyo with Pick-up
Amazing Sumo Morning Practice
Reviewed by: Amanda
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,

Fun Sumie Ink Painting Lesson in Tokyo with English Speaking Instructor
A super fun introduction to Sumie Ink painting!
Reviewed by: Jack Devereaux
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.

Private Tea Ceremony and Kimono Dressing Experience in Tokyo
Absolutely fantastic and memorable experience
Reviewed by: Nadine
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,

The Studio location was easy to find using details provided.
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.

Dynamic Traditional Taiko Japanese Drumming Lesson in Tokyo
So much fun and totally worth it
Reviewed by: Adrienne
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!
