What are people saying about Tokyo

William_L, Jun 2026

So much fun

Great experience making chopsticks with my family. A great and memorable souvenir from our trip. Many types of wood to choose from - only 3 choices are included with the Viator booking, but the rest are available at a discounted price for people who booked through Viator. Engraving of the chopsticks is an additional fee, but is not required.

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

Taneisha, Jun 2026

A beautiful kimono and experience

This was a great fun experience. The ladies spoke English well and guided me through the process. Their expertise in helping me choose pieces resulted in a beautiful kimono. The guys left with nice kimonos too. A quick experience that left enough time to enjoy the rest of the day.

The staff was welcoming...

The staff was welcoming and friendly and the process took about an hour, which was perfect. You get to choose what type of wood to use and select an engraving, though there is an additional cost involved for some options. We were impressed by how nice the finished product was and look forward to using the chopsticks at home!

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!!

Relaxing and Soothing

Super fun and relaxing activity. It’s really rewarding to clean your ring and see the age and stains go away. Momoyo, the instructor was so kind and incredibly cheery! Originally I was going to make one ring but I liked it so much I decided to make another ring before I left. Loved this!

Tokyo Chopstick Making Workshop with Artisan

Lenora_L, Feb 2026

Fun family class!

Wow! What a fun experience as a family of four. We were able to pick two pieces of long rectangular wood of our choice and make chopsticks using a tools and sanding. The instructions were clear and my 10 & 12 year old could do it on their own. Everyone could sand the chopsticks down to whatever shape they wanted to make it more personal. We all got them engraved for 1000 yen extra. We had a great time making our own personal souvenir. Would highly recommend!!!

Manga Lesson with a Professional Japanese Manga Artist in Nakano

Jenny_H, Feb 2026

Highly recommended!

I booked a private lesson for my 17 year old son and me. I'm a complete beginner but my son is at an intermediate level. Nao-san tailored the class very well for both of us. She encouraged and guided him to try out his own ideas (I followed templates). He was impressed with her skills and how she demonstrated techniques effortlessly on the whiteboard eg showing how with only a few changes you can change a mood or character completely. I really enjoyed trying the g pen and special manga tools. Thank you very much Nao-san!

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.

Asakusa Classic Ramen & Crispy Gyoza Cooking Class

Jennifer_D, Jul 2025

This was a wonderful...

This was a wonderful experience for our family with 3 teens. The couple were delightful and great teachers. We learned a lot about different kinds of ramen and the ingredients that go into making a flavorful bowl. We prepared most of the ingredients and then focused on the goyza while the broth cooked. They did a great job instructing us on preparing and shaping the dumplings. Go hungry and know you won’t need lunch after. We ate everything we made! It was all outstanding. Highly recommend!
