Great experience. Wonderful food.

A wonderful experience that I was so glad I signed up for! As a solo traveler, you sometimes get a little lost in the weeds, but Masahito-san was super friendly and at no point did I get left behind. My thanks to him and Junko-san for taking and sharing photos. Great experience. Wonderful food.

Best tour of the trip!! BOOK IT NOW

Our favorite activity of the trip!! We had such an amazing time on this food tour with Simon. We tried SO many new foods. Some that we absolutely loved and a few that definitely weren’t for us, but that made it even more fun! We also got to explore the neighborhood, learn more about the area, and enjoy plenty of drinks along the way. Simon was such a great guide and made the whole experience feel relaxed, fun, and personal. If you’re visiting Tokyo, we HIGHLY recommend doing this tour. Come hungry and be ready to try something new!

Entertaining Intro to Sumo Wrestling!

Ramen & Gyoza Cooking Class in Tokyo with Local Supermarket Visit

Rebecca_H, Mar 2026

A highlight of our Japan trip — don’t hesitate to book

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved YUCa’s cooking class and it may well end up being our favourite experience from our entire Japan trip. Yuca’s studio kitchen is beautifully set up — intimate, welcoming and clearly designed with love. Our class of six felt just the right size, and Yuca and her husband were both incredibly warm, hospitable and knowledgeable. The ramen and gyoza we made were genuinely delicious, and we left feeling confident enough to recreate them at home. We were travelling with our nine month old son and Yuca was wonderfully welcoming of him from the moment we arrived. She was happy for us to bring his pram up the stairs so he could sit comfortably during the class, and she even made him his own little onigiri for lunch — such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that completely melted our hearts. It’s about an hour from Shinjuku but don’t let that put you off — it is absolutely worth every minute of the commute. And when you arrive, Yuca provides a sheet of local recommendations for sightseeing, cultural experiences and food nearby, which is such a thoughtful touch. We followed her suggestions and spent the afternoon at Yanaka Ginza and Ueno Park — a perfect way to round out the day and explore a part of Tokyo most tourists never see. Don’t hesitate, just book it. The experience, the food, the hospitality and the local knowledge Yuca shares make it exceptional value and a truly memorable way to connect with Japanese culture. Highly, highly recommended! 🍜🥟

the SUMO show with Dinner

Jennifer_K, Oct 2025

Fun night out full of laughs

This is a fun night out in Tokyo! The food was surprisingly good - fresh and tasty. The show was entertaining and all of the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They gave a bit of history of sumo and then the two sumo wrestlers did a demonstration. After the demo, they took several folks from the audience to face off against the wrestlers. Our teenage son went up there and said it was like trying to push a wall!

You are missing out if you don't book this now!

Just fantastic. If my grandmother was Japanese and had a cooking class in the middle of Tokyo, yet in a very quiet and peaceful residential area, this would be it! Class is 10 people, very clean informative and friendly. I've taken similar courses in other cities but this was my favorite!
