For younger children, simple Japanese games adjusted to age and mood. Children arrive nervous and leave waving goodbye to a new Japanese friend. While your children play happily with my son, you can fully relax and focus on your own one-of-a-kind kanji name artwork. I research 2–3 kanji candidates a week before you arrive. Together we choose, practice, and finish on shikishi or uchiwa — ready to take home. Children receive discounted rates by age (from ¥4,000). All materials and snacks included.

ts24fhr5y5, Oct 2026

Lots of fun

Our guide in the ring making process, Kamila, l was very thorough in explaining the entire process. She helped us make keepsakes that we will treasure for ever. Since we are in our eighties, we can say that this workshop would be fun for people of all ages.

Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class

Katrina_R, Oct 2026

Authentic family fun

We loved this experience! It was great fun making our own chopsticks. The team provided excellent instruction and support and we were all happy with our finished product. This was one of the best group activities we attended in Tokyo. We highly recommend this experience to any fun loving family or friendship group.

Tokyo Traditional Kintsugi Workshop in Asakusa Gold Repair Art

Jennifer_L, Oct 2026

Learning and experiencing Kintsugi

Excellent experience with April who gave clear guidance throughout the process. The Zen studio was easy to find and well laid out. You could either use the standard pottery included or opt to pay extra for alternative pieces to use. April also gave us a brief history of how Kintsugi came into being which was very interesting.

Make Your Own Japanese Knife in Tokyo, Asakusa

Dennis_K, Sep 2026

Excellent experience, they thought of everything!

This was an excellent activity and I highly recommend it! They thought of everything starting with sending not just instructions, but a very clear video on how to find their location. As a foreigner, I find the Japanese addresses challenging, and this was super helpful. On arrival, we were provided with traditional Japanese jackets to protect our clothes. There was also water and a snack available. First the staff were introduced with a brief bio and then a little history and background was presented which I found very informative. We each selected the type of knife we wanted to work on (there was a reasonable additional fee for upgraded knife), and after clear instructions we got to work. The staff came around frequently to check our technique and progress. Ru and Zac were the enthusiastic and encouraging in their feedback. After we achieved the desired sharpness (now knowing what to look for), we moved on to customizing the wood handle. I’ve never used a wood burning tool before, but it was just like using a pen; super easy. My one suggestion for this portion of the class would be to offer a list of suggested options for what to engrave, for people like me who have trouble deciding. At the end of class, there is an option to purchase one of two sharpening kits to take home. We had a little hiccup with my purchase, but they went the extra mile to make sure I was a happy customer in the end. Absolutely one of my favorite activities while we were in Tokyo, and I have a lasting souvenir, and a new skill to remind me of this wonderful experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful experience!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the chopstick-making class! It was such a fun and unique experience, and we loved learning something new together. We had a great time throughout the class, and making our own chopsticks made it even more special. Definitely a lovely memory that we will keep from our trip. ❤️ Highly recommended!

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.

Great experience to learn about Japanese culture

Isabella was super friendly and a great teacher for my first time making chopsticks :) all the tools are provided and you can jump right in choosing between different wood types. I learned about the different kinds of wood which was super interesting!! I loved the whole process. Also super cool you can choose to engrave something on your chopsticks and choose the kanji that spell your name. Great experience to learn something about Japanese culture!

Tokyo Denim Jeans Making Experience

Lenore_S, Jun 2026

Very nice experience with...

Very nice experience with my sons, they selected and applied their own rivets and buttons. Upsells get really pricey so if you can avoid the customization items and stick with included items, it’s a great price for the quality of the jeans (about $120 USD). The staff is friendly and guides you through the entire process.

Tokyo: Shinobi Samurai Premium Interactive Immersion - 80 Min

7q9jgd7vhk, Apr 2026

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.

Authentic Kintsugi Workshop: Art of Golden Joinery in Tokyo

Sharon_C, Mar 2026

Fun DIY experience!

The experience was very fun! It had a good edutainment aspect of value that I enjoyed. The ceramic was pre-broken for us to choose, I wish there were more style varieties to choose from. The instructions were very clear and the video was also easy to follow. I think it would be good to extent the estimated experience time to 1.25 hrs as it seems like people took extra time to create their kintsugi plates and ask questions. I think the value of the experience was quite worth it and they also sell a kit you can take home to try out.

A heartwarming experience

We had a great time with Taka-san and his wife. Their hospitality went beyond simply teaching us a few authentic japanese recipes and culture. It was their warmth and kindness that stuck with us the most long after the experience. The thoughtful gifts for the kids as well as their patience in answering never-ending questions and sharing their knowledge will be forever cherished.
