Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Workshop Plastic Food Sample Ramen

Reviewed by: Linda

The workshop was a really nice experience. Our teacher was a really friendly guy. I can definitely recommend it if you have time to do it!
The location is easy to find and just one stop from Ikebukuro. Our fake Ramen is a nice memory, that will us remind of our time in Japan.

Good learning experience

Reviewed by: Mia Anindita

I really enjoyed the activity. The teacher is really nice, very patient when explaining something. However I expect to learn from the very basic step, knowing that we tend to just stick one thing and another made me a little bit disappointed. Regardless, it was indeed a good learning experience for me. Thank you!

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2025/7/1~2025/9/21)

Lovely location, outstanding service, mesmerizing Maiko dancers

Reviewed by: jewon310

We missed the shuttle bus so taking a taxi was our only option. The Hotel Monterey Kyoto front desk was so kind and willing; she called the cab and informed the taxi driver where to drop us off which saved us a lot of time. The shuttle from the restaurant came out and met us about a mile away as the roads get narrow and difficult to find for drivers unfamiliar with that area. The cab fare came out to be about $35-40 from the Hotel (which was less than what I expected). I highly recommend catching the shuttle service on time (be there early as they will leave exactly on time!)-- not only it's more comfortable having someone drive you to the restaurant, but it will save you time and money.

The restaurant is located in a very secluded and quiet area, completely surrounded by nature. They will greet and walk you to your designated table. The guiding lights in the complete dark woods make the ambience more beautiful. All meals will come out in your eating pace... which is important because I eat pretty slow and sometimes course meals rush you to hurry up and eat. I wasn't sure how to eat fish properly (whether I was supposed to eat the whole entire fish or leave the head or tail), so the older lady came over and removed all the bones for me. Service was fantastic.

There were two Maikos that night-- both Maikos came around, very willing to take pictures and answer questions/ conversate with you. When they start their dancing, I couldn't help but to stare in awe. They look like walking dolls. They also had goodies before the show (i.e a fan, canvas bag, etc). It was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this tour. I want to do this again if I travel back to Kyoto in near future.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2025/7/1~2025/9/21)

Magical Evening

Reviewed by: Phyllis Viana

From the drive out of Kyoto Center up the cool hills past traditional tiled roofed houses, to our evening end with our gracious hosts smiling behind us as we walked back over the rope footbridge with the twinkling Japanese lanterns lighting the lush green river - A Magical Evening indeed.
Arriving at sunset, you see the beauty of the hot spring resort with our tables overlooking the river and mountain forest. We ordered the snow course (full- larger Kayseki) dinner. Traditional hosts (who speak only a little English) took us to our low tables set with course 1, gift Japanese fans and menu's in English. Sake and beer is additional. We had 2 Maiko's that evening, each separately visited all the tables to take pictures. (they speak Japanese, but can answer a little of English questions) Food was fresh, delicious and so artistically presented course by course. The beautiful dance & musical entertainment was lovely in the intimate setting. Each group had their own tables and the room is not too large. Splurge and treat yourself to this special experience.

  • Maiko visiting our table before show

  • Entering via rope footbridge

  • Traditional tiled houses on the drive up the hills at sunset

  • sushi course

  • summer kimono on the footbridge over the river

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Yakatabune Boat Dinner

Reviewed by: Dana P

I went to this dinner with my mother and we both had an amazing time. There were several other people from overseas there and they introduced all of us and where we were from, which was sweet. I speak Japanese, but it was almost not necessary as everyone spoke English well. The MC translated pretty much everything into English so everyone could understand. Also, the Japanese locals were kind and joking around with us, so we felt completely comfortable.

The food was very good. And there was a LOT. I see some reviews saying there wasn't enough food, but if you eat all of it and have a reasonable amount of drinks, you will not leave hungry. Obviously it is a traditional Japanese meal, so be prepared to eat Japanese food!! - raw fish, fish cakes, sweet red beans, etc. If you don't like the food, of course you might leave hungry, but you're in Japan so you should try it...

The atmosphere of the evening started out calm, but then it turned into a party. There was singing, a dragon running around pretending to bite people's heads, and taking pictures with giant beer bottles. This might not make sense now, but it will. Harumiya does a great job at entertaining. I was laughing the whole time. So, if you're thinking about going to this dinner, you definitely should.

I'm glad I was able to have an experience unique to Kyoto easily! お手軽に京都ならではの体験が出来てよかったです!

Reviewed by: イベリ子豚

I was able to enjoy a delicious meal while watching the adorable maiko. They answered many of my questions, and above all, experiencing the coveted ozashiki play at this price is a lifelong memory! I lost at "shurashushu" (?), but having the maiko pour me a drink is something I probably won't experience again (laughs). The senjafuda was beautiful, and I was really happy to take pictures together.

可愛い舞妓さんを見ながら、美味しいお食事が出来ました。

舞妓さんと一緒に体験プラン 舞鑑賞・記念撮影・お座敷遊び・食事付きなど選べる6プラン by 日本文化体験 庵an

I would like the staff at Jinmatsu-an to use a microphone for explanations so that everyone can see the maiko up close. 甚松庵の対応。説明はマイクを使って、全員が近くで舞妓をよく見れるようにして欲しい

Reviewed by: MMM

At Jinmatsu-an, you have to pay 500 yen for seats close to the maiko, which felt unfair. I wish all the seats were chairs so that everyone could see the maiko up close. There was dissatisfaction with being seated far from the maiko and not being able to see them closely. It felt a bit profit-driven to have to pay 500 yen for that. I would also like more time for questions. Additionally, I would prefer if a microphone were used for explanations, as it was hard to hear. In short, I hope the company makes more efforts to ensure customer satisfaction.

甚松庵では舞妓に近い席は500円払わないといけないので、
不公平感があった。全ての席を椅子にして、全員が近くで舞妓を見れるようにして欲しい。席が舞妓より遠く、近くで見れない不満が残った。500円払わないといけないところなど、少し儲け主義なような気がした。質問の時間をもっと取ってほしい。また、説明はマイクを使って欲しい。声が聞こえにくかった。つまり、お客さんがもっと満足するよう企業努力してほしい。

Enjoyable Experience

Staff were friendly and professional when dressing us. We did not feel the language barrier was a problem. Good selection of Yukata and accessories to choose from. Refreshments were given upon arrival and plenty of time to return outfits. The service was excellent, the staff made sure we were all comfortable when dressing us in the undergarments and outer garments. A very enjoyable cultural experience and wore Yakata to Nagoya Castle for photographs.

This time, I participated with my grandchild and daughter-in-law. I was worried about the typhoon, but perhaps it was due to our good behavior. We were able to see a beautiful sunset and forgot about our daily lives. My grandchild and I were both moved. I will include this in my plans for next time as well.

京都高雄 もみぢ家 川床ディナープラン 納涼川床料理+舞妓さんの京舞鑑賞日あり(2025/7/1~2025/9/21)<川床席確約/送迎あり/高雄>

I am a repeat visitor. リピーターです

Reviewed by: はまさん

This tour is "twice as enjoyable" not only because of the riverside setting but also because you can meet maiko. Three maiko came to visit us. They went around to each table, allowing us to enjoy friendly conversations. It was amazing to see the dance up close. Last time, we had sukiyaki for our meal, so this time I opted for kaiseki. The summer dishes like hamo sashimi and grilled sweetfish were delightful. Additionally, there was a lottery event (on the 3rd and 5th of the month), which added to the excitement! (Although I didn't win anything... (^^;))

川床だけでなく、舞妓さんにも会えるという「2度おいしい」ツアーです。舞妓さんは3人来てくれました。各テーブルに回ってきてくれるので、気さくにおしゃべりを楽しむことができました。舞もすぐ近くで見ることができて最高でした。前回は食事がすき焼きだったので、今回は懐石にしてみました。鱧おとしや鮎の塩焼きなど、夏らしい料理で良かったです。また、今回はちょうど抽選会(3と5のつく日)があって、ワクワク感を楽しめました!(何も当たりませんでしたが…(^^;))

Shodo Lesson at the Home of a Calligrapher in Central Tokyo

Excellent Shodo class!

Reviewed by: Carter

Well worth the time and just north of Akihabara, this was an amazing Shodo class that taught my family more than just one character. She let us make the ink we would use later to write everything with the calligraphy brush. The instructor explained the different characters used in Japanese and how one was derived from another, showing and letting us write those too. Then we got to chose a word to practice writing for the final draft on heavy duty paper. This would also include our names in Japanese, which she translated and included on the example that we followed. After many practice papers, we did the final draft, which was signed with the instructor's red stamp.

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo

Wear Kimono in Asakusa with a Rental Dress Up Experience in Tokyo / Standard Kimono Plan and Free Walking

Reviewed by: Sam

This was something the girls (daughters & girlfriend) really wanted to do. I was not as enthusiastic about it.
When we arrived the staff was extremely friendly and immediately tended to all of our needs/requirements. We chose our Kimonos and they dressed us all up. They made up the females' hair really nice and beautiful and gave us more than enough time to walk around Asakusa after. There is a great temple about a block away to take super pictures at.
Additionally, one of the staff members makes origami earrings and they are for sale at a very great price. They also have fans, umbrellas and other accessories for rent/sale.
The overall experience was actually better than I thought it would be. We had such a great time. The downside to it was getting some dirty looks from some of the locals; however, for the most part, many enjoyed it and took pictures of/with us. There were more people who liked it than not. There was a family (Japanese) who was in there prior to us dressing up and walking around as well. We saw them later at the temple along with a few others from other kimono places all dressed up. So we did not feel out of place once we saw others.
I highly recommend this company if you want a great Kimono experience. They also have Samurai wear and other traditional dresses. Look them up (Sakura Photography in Asakusa).

This time, since there was extra time, we were treated to an improvised Kyogen based on a prompt, which allowed us to see a ghost—definitely a bonus!

Participation with children. 子供と参加

Reviewed by: ひかり

Every year, I participate in my child's birthday celebration. This is the third time, and this time I was disappointed for the first time.

The seat I had was completely blocked by a pillar, so I couldn't see anything. Even when they were singing the birthday song, I couldn't see, which made my child disappointed too.

I wondered why we were given this seat when there were so many other seats available. The photo with the cake also had the "Happy Birthday" text crooked and cut off halfway.

For the staff on the boat, it might just be another day out of 365, but for me, who participates once a year for my child's birthday, it's an important day. In the past two years, my child was happy and wanted to celebrate their birthday on the boat, so we traveled to Okinawa, but now I'm reconsidering for the next birthday.

We understand how painful it must have been for your child to have a sad experience on a day that is meant to be a cherished memory once a year.

今一度、全スタッフが心を改め、毎日接客させていただくお客様一人ひとりと「一期一会の精神」で対応させていただくよう努めさせていただけたらと存じます。

度重ねてお詫び申し上げます。

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

My favourite experience of the holiday!

Reviewed by: Fancypantsrodgers

I loved everything about this experience. The shop/factory is situated in a lovely little area of Tokyo (near Kita-Ikebukuro station) - easy to get to, and very welcoming on arrival. Our teacher did not speak much English, but was so helpful and demonstrated everything we needed to do. He also borrowed a translator from his colleague to ask us about our holiday plans and to recommend activities.

Myself and my friend came away with our beautiful miniature sundaes, and also some other purchases from the shop for friends and family. Absolutely delightful! Do make this a part of your trip to Japan.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2025/7/1~2025/9/21)

Definitely a highlight of our trip

Reviewed by: Susan

We were so glad that we decided to purchase this dinner. The restaurant have an amazing view of the river and eating at the kawandoko (terrace on top of the river) is an experience not to be missed. We got the shabu shabu meal and it was perfect since when we went, it was raining and cold, so it was the perfect warming up meal for us.
The maiko came at around 7 and talk to each of the table, take photos and answer a few simple questions. She can't speak well in English, but she can understand if you speak basic English and very slowly. Then she performed 2 dances, they both very elegant and beautiful.
At around 8 pm, the restaurant switch off the lights, so that we can watch fireflies around the riverside. Apparently this is only happens in June. It was truely an amazing and unforgettable experience for both of us.
The pick up and return transfer is pretty efficient too, very happy overall. Definitely would recommend!
