Enjoyable activity

Jessica_L, Oct 2025

This was a super fun experience! I would highly recommend if you want to try something more cultural. You don't often get to learn new skills, and I this activity was really beginner friendly. Would recommend to do with friends and family. I would like to also add, we were super late, but Tanaka was super understanding about it. She is overall a great instructor and friendly host. Thank you again!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the experience and felt welcome. It was a pleasure to have you join, and I hope to see you again soon!
