What are people saying about Osaka

Angela_K, Jul 2026

A must do

Wonderful experience! We learned a lot about the beautiful tea ceremony and had a lovely time. Before our visit, I was a little concerned about having to sit in the traditional pose, but they have little stools for those who can't manage that. The tea was quite nice and the sweet treat was beautiful as well as tasty.

Ramen and Gyoza Cooking Class in Osaka

Lissette_C, Jul 2026

Fun learning experience

We had a great time in this cooking class. We learned to make ramen and gyoza, and most of the prep work was already done, so we could focus on the fun parts. With only four people in the class, it felt calm, personal, and almost one‑on‑one. The food was excellent, and the hands‑on experience was exactly what we were looking for. If you prefer a loud, high‑energy group activity, this isn’t it. The class takes place inside someone’s apartment, so you do need to be quiet and respectful of the building.

【Family Friendly】Traditional Mochi Pounding Experience

Kishan_D, Jul 2026

A very unique must-do!

Wonderful experience! Everything you ever wanted to know about mochi, including its history, its purpose, how it’s made, and what it tastes like. Including several surprisingly delicious flavours! Just a fun hands-on experience, and the team were made it even more special with their warm welcome and enlightening presence! Thank you!

Eat, Drink & Cycle: Osaka Foodie Bike Tour

Mike_I, Jun 2026

Awesome way to see the city

Joel was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and great with my 11 year old son’s questions. We saw so much and we were able to start our trip with key knowledge. He had great restaurants to recommend as well. A highlight of our trip was when an elderly Japanese women came over to say hello to us, she was curious about our family, and we had a lovely conversation.

Sushi Making Osaka Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class

Denise_H, Jun 2026

Fantastic - can’t wait to try at home

What a fantastic experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our sushi-making class today with Lala and Ayu. Both teachers were incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient, making the whole experience fun, engaging, and easy to follow. They explained each step clearly, shared fascinating insights into Japanese food culture, and created a relaxed atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable. The ingredients were fresh, the instruction was excellent, and it was so rewarding to create and enjoy our own sushi for lunch. Lala and Ayu’s enthusiasm and passion for what they do truly shone through and made the class memorable. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Osaka who wants a hands-on cultural activity and a deeper appreciation of Japanese cuisine. Thank you, Lala and Ayu, for a wonderful afternoon and a highlight of our trip to Japan! Denise & Susan 🇯🇵🍣🙏

It was a 10/10 experience...

It was a 10/10 experience that was incredibly thought throught. It was really interesting hearing a breakdown of the making process for sake. All the different sake we tasted were also very delicious. Our guide was made the experience even better by being very kind and easy to talk to. Highly recommend this experience

Osaka Cooking Class: Okonomiyaki and Japanese Cuisines Experience

Melissa_M, May 2026

Such a fun afternoon! Must-do in Osaka!!

We had so much fun with Yayo! She was so welcoming and sweet (not to mention an excellent cook!). She has thought out every aspect of the experience and really does a great job explaining how to cook the dishes and letting you cook with guidance! It was so charming that she does this in her home and that her mom makes plum wine and miso for her cooking classes! This was a highlight of our trip and memories we will cherish! Ookini Yayo!

Osaka Okonomiyaki Cooking Experience!

Melissa_G, Apr 2026

Memorable Moments in Osaka ✨️❤️

Such a Great experience, Keiko, her assistant and mother where a pleasure to learn from. They spoke great English so understanding eachother was a plus! Keiko reached out to us prior and asked about food restrictions or dietary restrictions. She was able to accommodate my vegan diet which I was super happy because one of the main ingredients in Okonomiyaki is eggs. The replacement was a particular Japanese potato that worked great as a binder. Her mother gifted us with a little handmade purse made out of kimonos. A very heartfelt moment learning about how food brings people together. We both enjoyed this class and will be practicing what we learned at home. Okonomiyaki is very tasty and versatile. It can be made exactly to your personal liking! I highly recommend giving this class a try!

I absolutely recommend...

I absolutely recommend this activity! This was an expertly run cooking class. We were a family of 4 (3 adults and 1 teen). This is a highlight of our Japan trip. The guide was warm, inviting and so helpful. We were given the recipes so we are now inspired to make the meal when we get home. Loved it!

Osaka Sushi Making Experience

Vaibhav_G, Apr 2026

*MUST DO* Best place to make sushi and have tons of fun.

Mako and Aya are brilliant hosts - patient, generous and a great fun. They shared a bit of history about making sushi and happily answered our many questions. Constantly encouraging and guiding us as we went through the process of making our sushi platter. The vegetarians in the group were also delighted with the delicious sushi toppings. We did this activity as the last fun thing-to-do before catching our flight and it was definitely the perfect end to our awesome trip. We left Japan with big smiles and a box full of yummy sushi , thanks to Mako and Aya. Our 11 year old gave this activity a score of 25 out of 10. Mako - we look forward to Sushi London branch opening up soon. Thanks from Anita and group.

Best ramen class

Excellent cooking class- best we have done in Japan. Very efficient and teaching experience. You can also purchase some supplies at the end like garlic grater or cooking chopsticks so can be a nice souvenir. Please was easy to find- Marina and Kasa were so nice!!!! We were a group of 3 plus 4 more participants so a total of 7 but we did not feel rushed and food was delicious! Try not to eat lunch before!

Osaka Go Karting Tour with Funny Costume

Go karting with Yuma was the best experience!

Yuma was an incredible tour guide for our go kart experience! He was super kind, patient and helpful. He constantly checked in with us while we were at the red lights to make sure everyone in the group was okay. He took some really great pictures of our group as well as some really awesome videos in our go karts. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who is interested!
