Top Japan Cooking Classes - page 2

This was an awesome experience. The tea house is truly stunning. The woman who lead the experience was kind, open, and very giving. The tea master had 15 years of experience and she was wonderful. It was fun to meet the other travelers that did the tasting with us. We had two other couples at the same time we were there. You get to make your own matcha although you also get the opportunity to have a matcha prepared by the experts. The staff will take a few pictures for you. You can use your camera throughout, just remember to be respectful.

We were highly anticipating this experience and it did not disappoint! Everyone was so lovely. The staff for the kimono’s were great. I could not believe how fast we were dressed and my hair was done. The tea ceremony was awesome. Also greatly appreciated that we had small chairs and tables instead of being on our knees since my husband and I would not have been able to do it. Amy was an amazing host and funny! Highly recommend.

Family of four with two teenagers and we all loved it. We were the only ones attending our session which I thought made it exceptional value for money. We got to learn the Ninja meditation and other important facts about Ninja and Samurai and their history and how to move quietly like a Ninja avoiding sharp objects on the floor. We were then allowed to use the real Ninja weapons and practise throwing various throwing stars and blow darts. We then moved on to Samurai Katana sword training and learned several cutting techniques. Our trainer was a delightful lady who was very clear and helpful in her instruction and answered our questions. She also took photos and videos for us. Oh, and we got to dress head to toe in black like Ninjas for the whole session. Hands down the best experience we did whilst in Japan and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to all ages. Simply not to be missed.
