Amane is an exceptional...

Irwin_L, Jun 2026

Amane is an exceptional guide and really made this a special and unique experience. His unique position as a young Japanese man navigating Japan’s push into modernity while also trying to respect tradition makes for a very interesting mochi pounding experience that goes beyond the motions. Extremely fun and interesting experience!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Irwin_L, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for joining our Tokyo Traditional Mochi Pounding Experience. We are delighted to hear that Amane helped make your experience so special and memorable. It is especially rewarding to know that you appreciated not only the hands-on mochi pounding activity but also the deeper cultural insights he shared throughout the experience. One of our goals is to provide guests with meaningful opportunities to connect with Japanese culture beyond the surface level, and we are pleased that Amane’s perspective on the balance between tradition and modern life in Japan added an extra dimension to your visit. Thank you for your kind words about Amane and for sharing your experience with us. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to him. We hope to welcome you back for more unique cultural experiences on your next visit to Japan. GuideMe Japan Team

Fantastic class with two great tutors. Very interesting learning about the history and culture of mochi and really fun learning how to make delicious mochi. A big thanks to Shin and Minato for a great class
