Let's make kimono !（Kimono is a gift for you

Amanda_B, Sep 2026

Amazing Kimono Experience

This experience is truly unique in that you get to learn about kimono and find a beautiful already made kimono to alter/upcycle to fit perfectly. Our guide/tailor Akiko(Aki) was wonderful at explaining the different parts of the kimono, and what lines you are looking to showcase and why. She did an amazing job helping my husband and I pick and alter our clothing, which required adding a kimono panel for the skirt to make it fit a very western (plus) sized body. You get to be involved in the altering process by ironing the new seam together with sewing tape. This was an absolutely amazing experience that allowed me to have more understanding and experience of kimono culture while also getting a beautiful kimono to take home. There are multiple different levels of kimono ornamentation depending on whether you want a special occasion one meant for temples or one for everyday. There are several types of obi available to try on and you can end up purchasing everything if you desire for an additional fee which I did. The fancy obi are incredibly intricate and gorgeous and Aki told us that they take at least half an hour to make the bow. This is also quite an interesting experience for men to get to dress up and add their name and family crest in kanji/katakana for an awesome personalized look. This is a wonderful experience I highly recommend for anyone who has come to Japan for the first time, wants a kimono, and wants the chance to feel like a princess or samurai.

Great transport for a party of 9 with a lot of luggage

There were 9 of us (including a 2-year-old) returning from a 12 day cruise with a lot of luggage. The driver managed to get everything safely into the van and drove us from the cruise terminal to Narita airport without incident. I would definitely book again.

Ninja Samurai 2-hour hands-on lesson by Japanese master in Tokyo

Rachel_W, Aug 2026

Loved it! Best experience we had in Japan.

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.

Surprisingly therapeutic and a great way to create your own souvenir from Tokyo

Excellent experience with very friendly staff who were very patient with us and speak great English. Lots of options to choose from. You do need to pay more for special wood types and for engraving which we all did as we thought it was worth it. It is very therapeutic to hand make your own chopsticks! 5 stars

amazing time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience at Chopsticks! The workshop was fun, interactive, and something truly unique to do while visiting Tokyo. The instructors were incredibly patient, kind, and made the entire process easy to follow, even for beginners. Creating our own personalized chopsticks was such a special souvenir and one of the highlights of our trip. The attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel very welcome. We especially loved learning about the cultural significance behind the craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a memorable, hands-on experience in Tokyo, I highly recommend this workshop for families, couples, and anyone wanting to take home something meaningful from Japan. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! If you’d like, I can also make it sound more personal by mentioning your family and your teenage boys enjoying the experience.

Simon is the best!!

If you like to drink than this is the tour for you! Simon was an absolute gem from start to finish and this tour wouldn’t have been nearly as great without someone as knowledgeable as him! He gave great recommendations for the sake, the food, and took care of everything so we just needed to show up and drink! Make sure to take that tumeric drink he offers you at the beginning because it for sure helped all of us!! Cannot sing enough praises for this tour and for Simon!!

Manga Lesson with a Professional Japanese Manga Artist in Nakano

Mihir_G, Apr 2026

A really interesting and...

A really interesting and fun class with Yazawa-sensei! She is very knowledgeable and explained a lot of cool things about how and why manga is drawn using particular techniques. There are some basic foundational lessons + applications of body mechanics that make even a complex artwork seem easy! At the end of the lesson, I left with a fantastic drawing souvenir - which turned out far better than I expected - a testament to the excellent teachings of Yazawa-sensei! For me, this was probably my favourite activity in Tokyo! If you are a fan of anime and manga, I'm confident you will feel the same way after a manga drawing lesson!

Perfect blend of history, culture, hands-on experience

This was a wonderful and memorable experience - highly recommend. It was the perfect mix of history and hands-on experience. We learned so much and had a great time. We loved hearing about the clan history, the various weapons, dressing as a ninja, trying some skills out. The woman who owns the dojo (whose descended from a great samurai house) and the gentleman samurai and female scribe were great - so kind and knowledgeable.

Akihabara Anime & Game Adventure Walking Tour (Group or Private)

Vanessa_H, Dec 2025

Amazing Introduction to Akihabara!

We had a fantastic time on our Akihabara tour with Naoki. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful (especially with our two kids, one of whom is autistic) and he really tailored the experience to their interests rather than doing a generic walk-through. What stood out most was how much care he took with our food allergies. He gave us practical, realistic advice about eating in Japan and even made us handwritten allergy cards in Japanese, which was far beyond what we expected and will be very helpful for the rest of our time here. He also helped us navigate the chaos of Akihabara (which is a lot) making it a fun experience - and giving us the tools we will need to come back later to finish our shopping - my son is also excited to try out the cat cafe he pointed out! Thank you, Naoki! Highly recommend this tour, especially for families or anyone feeling a bit intimidated by Akihabara.

Loved!

Booked the night before and was easy and quick to find in Asakusa area. The host Hiya was very friendly and explained the history of matcha. We also learned how to spot high quality powder. We made it with traditional tools and then she helped us take a family photo. We got to enjoy traditional matcha with sweets which made for a great treat.
