Tokyo Yakatabune Cruise: 400yr Edo Tradition & Odaiba Route

Jesse_G, Oct 2026

An experience

Was a great experience with great hosts and music. Karen was nice and accommodating. The only thing was it had tatami floor seating with a sunken area for legs to go. I am a big guy so it wasn’t the most comfortable but still well worth it. The boat before us had chair seating. It would be nice if you got to choose between the two

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.

Wonderful Tea Ceremony

This was absolutely fantastic! Off the beaten path, engaging and educational! We had fun and learned so much. This has been one of the best experiences we’ve had in our two weeks in Japan.

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!

Kevin_C, Jun 2026

Sake!

This was one of the highights of our visit to Japan, the experience was set in a very relaxed and cosy restaurant, the staff were knowledgable, attentive and friendly. The range of sake was impressive and the food was delicious. The other guests were lively and engaging (especially the Irish newlyweds) which was the icing on the cake.

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! 🍜🥟

Amazing night out with a true local guide!

Eric_C, Oct 2025

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!
