Top Tokyo Unique Experiences

What an excellent experience. Yukka was so kind and friendly. Her directions to find the class were very helpful. We learned a bit about mochi history as well as when mochi is traditionally eaten. We watched her make the mochi and then prepared three kinds ourselves. She prepared savory mochi for us. We also tried warabi-mochi with brown sugar syrup. Everything was excellent. 10/10 excellent experience.

This experience was a lot of fun. All very well organized. I was a little scared going into the tour but quickly realized it was totally safe as long as you follow directions from your guide. Our guide, Sam, was amazing and very nice. Highly recommend

Yuca is amazing! First of all, she is super knowledgeable to not only how to cook ramen and gyoza but to places you need to check and recommendations on foods of all sorts. She was really kind and made the class entertaining while she was a lovely host. She provided tea, all the ingredients, the recipes, and shared the history behind ramen and all the ingredients. 100% recommend!

I had such a great experience with this cooking class in Tokyo. The instructors were incredibly informative and explained everything in a way that felt approachable and easy to follow, even for someone who doesn’t regularly cook Japanese food. What I appreciated most was how accessible the recipes were — nothing felt intimidating or overly complicated, and each step was clearly explained. I left the class feeling genuinely confident and excited to try making Japanese dishes again once I got home. It was both educational and empowering, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a hands-on, thoughtful introduction to Japanese cooking.

We had an absolutely wonderful tour with our guide, Sachi-san. We began by walking through the temple, where Sachi-san shared interesting history and even taught us how to properly pray in a Buddhist temple. Afterward, we explored the lively Tsukiji open market, trying a variety of delicious foods and snacks while learning so much about Japanese cooking and ingredients. We then visited a Shinto Shrine, where Sachi-san explained the basics of Shinto religion and showed us how to participate in traditional prayer. To finish the tour, she kindly gave us adorable origami figures as a special memento. The sushi workshop was a fantastic experience! The sushi master demonstrated how to properly fillet a large fish, which was cool to watch. During the workshop, we got hands-on and learned how to mold the rice and prepare several different types of sushi—then enjoyed eating everything we made. The class was easy to follow, the sushi was delicious, and we had a great time. As a special touch, we even received two sets of chopsticks as a gift when we mentioned it was our honeymoon. Highly recommended!

I like archery so trying Japanese archery - Kyudo - was my bucket list item. For me, this was one of the best things I’ve done in Japan. It really was cool to learn about Japanese style of archery stance which is distinctively different from other Asian archery I’ve tried in the past. Once we learned the basics our group just had a lot of fun shooting. Kyudo is something I actually would like to learn if I have an opportunity. I would definitely sign up for another Kyudo next time I’m in Japan.

We had a great experience. Our guide spoke excellent English which made things go smoothly. It was an awesome way to experience some of the sights of Tokyo. The guide took plenty of photos for us to share with family and friends. His hospitality was excellent as well. Due to the heat he stopped at a vending machine and purchased (shouted) us a water obviously realising we needed it. Travelling through the streets with traffic was a great experience as was being able to see many of the sights along the way. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone travelling from other countries.

The experience was absolutely incredible. I went with a friend, but whether you’re alone or with family, it remains unforgettable. The sensei taught us what it means to be a true samurai — from the mindset to the movements. They dressed us in authentic samurai attire, and to top it all off, there was a professional photo shoot. It was a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
