Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Excellent and Interesting Workshop!

Reviewed by: Yuki

This is a really interesting workshop, and at the end of the day you get to take your creation home. We did the Ice Cream Sundae workshop.

The workshop leader does speak a bit of English, and they try their best to communicate with you to ensure you are on the right track. They are very patient and really doesn't push you to make a decision quickly when choosing specific ingredients (...we can't choose from so many cute things lol). We felt relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.

The location itself is easy to find, and if you arrive a little early, you can always chill at the Lawson (convenient store) to grab a bite. Overall highly recommended :)

Naha Port Sunset Dinner Cruise 那覇港サンセットディナークルーズ

Reviewed by: まみーぷー

It was titled "Sunset Cruise," but unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so we couldn't see the sunset. However, there was a musician performing live inside the boat, and even though we were seated by the window, I enjoyed the two playtimes more than just looking outside during the cruise. I was especially moved when the title "Okinawa" was performed.

サンセットクルーズという表題でしたが、あいにく曇り空。よって日没は見ることはできなかった。しかし、船内でミュージシャンが生歌を披露してくれていたので、窓辺の席でしたが、外を眺めることのクルーズタイムよりも2回のプレイタイムは楽しかった。
沖縄だというタイトルが披露された時には特に感動しました。

西大寺の秘仏「愛染明王」特別公開+ユニークなお茶席イベント「大茶盛」恋に効くパワースポットで縁結び祈願 『奈良うまし冬めぐり』<1~2月/奈良市>

Thank you very much. 有難うございました。

Reviewed by: ミッキー

I had visited Nara for school trips and the Shosoin Exhibition, but in recent years, thanks to a friend living in Nara, I started participating in various events and exploring historical sites, which made me more captivated by Nara's charm.

Since I had been learning tea ceremony, I wanted to experience the grand tea ceremony at Daidaiji, but I hadn't had the opportunity until last year when I visited the temple.

This time, I received an invitation to the "Nara Delicious Winter Tour," and I participated with my daughter. We listened to a monk's easy-to-understand talk about Nara's history, the prestigious Daidaiji, and the secret Buddha Aizen Myo-o, and it was a meaningful and enjoyable time as we also got to experience the grand tea ceremony. My friend arranged for my daughter to join, and I was pleasantly surprised to see her so moved by the experience.

Thank you very much.

 奈良には修学旅行や正倉院展には出かけていましたが、近年奈良在住のお友達のお陰で名所旧跡めぐりや色々な行事に参加するようになり、奈良の魅力に惹かれるようになりました。
 お茶を習っていたので、西大寺の大茶盛りを体験したいと思いますがなかなか機会がなく、昨年お寺だけでもと訪れました。
 今回「奈良うまし冬めぐり」のお話を頂き、娘と参加させて頂きました。僧侶の奈良の歴史、由緒ある西大寺、秘仏愛染明王の分かりやすいお話を拝聴し、また大茶盛りの体験ができて有意義で楽しいひと時でした。友人の計らいで娘を同行しましたが意外と感動していて嬉しく思いました。

It was fun. 楽しかった。

Reviewed by: mao

I usually just pass by Nishi Daiji Station, but I finally had the opportunity to visit for the first time. The head priest's talk was very easy to understand, and I learned a lot about the long history of Nishi Daiji, from its prosperity during the Heijokyo period to its decline and then revival. While waiting to receive my goshuin, I was also taught about the history, such as why the capital was moved to Heian. The other event, the Ochasori, featured a large tea bowl as I imagined, and it was tricky to drink from, but naturally, the person next to me helped out, creating a pleasant atmosphere that made it enjoyable. The utensils were also large! (I apologize for the unclear size in the photo.)

西大寺は駅をいつも通るだけで、この機会にと初めて行かせていただきました。ご住職のお話は、とてもわかりやすく、平城京での繁栄から衰退、それから再興と長い歴史の中で今の西大寺があることがよくわかりました。御朱印をいただくのを待っている時も、なぜ平安遷都が起きたなどの歴史について教えていただきました。もう一つのイベントである大茶盛は、想像通り大きなお茶碗で、飲む加減が難しかったのですが、自然と隣の方が手伝ってくれたり、和やかな雰囲気で楽しかったです。皆具も大きい!(大きさがわかりづらい写真ですみません)

The sunset is amazing every time I see it!! いつみてもサンセットは最高!!

Reviewed by: 立山 賢一

The sunset, no matter how many times I see it, excites me! The view from the boat is something special. Perhaps because it's close to Naha Airport, planes also fly across the sunset, which is romantic. Mr. Matsumoto's singing inside the boat, mixed with Okinawan songs, is wonderful. The staff were also friendly and made it enjoyable, so I never got bored. If you're wondering where to have dinner in Okinawa, I definitely recommend this cruise. I'll participate again!

サンセット、何度みても男なにんに興奮!!
船からみる光景は一味違います。
那覇空港に近いせいか飛行機もサンセットを横切り飛んでてロマンチックです。
船内のマツモトさんの歌声も沖縄の歌をとりまぜ素晴らしいです。

【着物・浴衣レンタル】雷門徒歩2分!下町情緒溢れる浅草で着物散策<着付け・ヘアセット込/人力車割引券付き/浅草>by サクラフォトスタジオ

A valuable trip for my mother and grandmother with a kimono experience for three generations. 3世代で着物体験★母・祖母の貴重な旅行となりました

Reviewed by: さつまっころ

I made a reservation for a special experience because my mother and grandmother were visiting my daughter (me) for the first time from Kyushu.

I hadn't told my grandmother where we were going, so when we arrived at the studio, she almost tried to run away, and I apologize for the trouble. However, the staff kindly helped her change while complimenting her, and she was able to change clothes safely.

The four of us, three generations plus the main character, got to wear kimonos, and we also requested the optional photography on-site (4,000 yen for one photo per group).

Since it's not often that people in their 60s and 90s wear bright patterns, it seemed to be a refreshing experience for them, and both were very happy, looking at the photos at home.

When we come to Tokyo again, we would love to visit again. Thank you for your kindness!

九州から娘(私)の元に母と祖母が初めて遊びに来るということで特別な体験をと思い予約しました。

祖母へはどこに連れて来られるかも告げていなかったのでスタジオについたときは最初逃げ出しそうになりご迷惑おかけしましたが、スタッフの皆様が褒めながら着せてくださり無事に着替えることができました。

3世代+主人公の4人で着物を着せてもらい、オプションの撮影も現地でお願いしました★
(+4000円で1枚/1グループ)

なかなか60代90代になると明るい柄を着ることもないので新鮮だったようで2人ともとても喜んでおり家でもずっと写真を眺めています。

また東京に来る際は是非宜しくお願いします。
親切にしていただきありがとうございました!

一般家庭での三線教室&沖縄料理作り体験 沖縄でプチホームステイ!<名護市>

I am very satisfied. 大満足です

Reviewed by: たかこう

On January 2nd, my family of four participated in an experience. Due to the New Year holidays, we were informed in advance that host families could not be found, so the event was held at "Hatoba Station" in Motobu. The content was also irregular. The sanshin class was taught by the president of the local tourism association. We arrived early and were first given a tour of the town center of Motobu and had the chance to scoop up the local fish, gurukun, with a net. For lunch, we enjoyed the live gurukun sashimi, butter-grilled gurukun, and fish soup. The conversation with the sanshin instructor was very enjoyable, and we had a truly meaningful time. Although I have visited Okinawa many times, this was the first time I had such a long conversation with local people, and it was very healing. I would like to participate in this program again during my next visit to Okinawa. I also want to use the "Uminomai" menu from the "Umi Seikatsu" program that helped us this time. Thank you very much.

1月2日に家族4人で体験してきました。正月休みのため、受け入れ家庭が見つからないとのことで、本部町にある’波止場の駅’内での開催となり、内容もイレギュラーになると事前に連絡があった上で参加しました。三線教室については地元の観光協会の会長さんに指導していただきました。早めに到着しましたが、最初に本部町の中心街の町案内をしていただいたり、生簀のグルクンをタモですくったりしました。昼食はそのグルクンの活造り、バター焼き、あら汁を出していただきました。三線講師のかたとのゆんたくもとても楽しく、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。何度も沖縄は来ていますが、初めてと思うくらい地元の方と長時間話をさせていただき、とても癒されました。次回来沖時は本プログラムのほうでも参加したいと思います。また、今回お世話になった【海生活】の海人メニューも利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

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

A Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Amanda F.

My wife and I did this experience together. The dressing studio is small and bustling, and being able to experience the art of formal kimono dressing was something we will never forget. Although we were the only foreigners there, suggesting this place does a robust local business, the English-speaking assistant was very accommodating. We were given a variety of beautiful kimonos to choose from, and ended up adding on a photo shoot package at the last minute, which they were great about. I have already recommended this experience to a friend who is traveling to Tokyo in a couple weeks.

I participated three times and encountered the sunset twice. Is it a privilege of attending alone? I was able to enjoy my meal at a two-person table by the window and had a beautiful view. The staff on board were also very approachable, which made any worries disappear. Matsumoto's singing and performance were amazing!!! It's a shame that I couldn't fully immerse myself in the music because of the meal! I bought the CD without hesitation. Every time I listen to the CD, I think of the sunset in Okinawa, the Moby ship, the staff, and Matsumoto. Next time I participate, I will bring my wife along to share the experience together!

Private Maiko Dance Performance with Dinner or Snacks Plan in Kyoto

A perfect evening

Reviewed by: Catherine

We booked the evening not being so sure of what would be the evening since i think the description of the product is not good, you cannot be sure if it a party or dinner.
We spent a wonderful evening with our Maiko in a tea house which in Japan means a private club house.
Dinner was the high Kaseiki Kyoto cuisine, sake was pouring freely.
Our Maiko was delightful, she entertained us and was cute, funny and her dancing was exquisite.
I booked the translation services in order for us to fully appreciate the evening and it was worth every penny, since we could communicate with our Maiko and Peter was very knowledgeable of the Japanese culture.
Great value for money evening, away from the crowed evenings.

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

10/10, Would Do Again

Reviewed by: Hannah

I brought my family to Asakusa, solely to participate in this activity. At first, they were very apphrehensive, but after donning the kimonos with the help and reassurances of the staff, my parents enjoyed this as much as I, a young adult, did!
If you're looking for a fun family activity, or an activity that allows you to dress up and admire the beauty of Japan's reach history, then this is the one for you! The staff are super duper helpful, and assisted us in finding the best places to photograph our outing! The staff also pointed us to Kaminarimon, a Japanese gate whose shopping street leads you directly to Senso-ji, Asakusa's most famous temple!
My only regret is that the selection of kimonos mostly consists of flower themed fabric; there were little to none featuring animals such as skylarks, koi, or even just trees and branches. But other than that, this experience was well worth it!

狂言ラウンジ大藏基誠 ラウンジパーティと狂言公演を組み合わせた新感覚ライブ 満足度NO.1の人気イベントが復活!<選べるベルトラ限定プラン>

Even first-timers can enjoy it! 初めての人でも楽しめる!

Reviewed by: まーたん

I had only been there once during high school, so I went in almost as a first-timer. I was worried about whether I would understand, but thanks to the explanation provided by the modernized stage arrangement before it started, I was able to enjoy it very much. I want to go again!

高校生の頃に行ったことがあるだけだったので、ほぼ初めての状態で行きました。
理解ができるか不安でしたが、始まる前に、現代的にアレンジした舞台による解説のおかげでとても楽しむことができました。また行きたいと思います!

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Seat

Reviewed by: Leika Ejiri

The show was perfect, but my seat had a partial view of it! I was disappointed because I paid the same amount as other people but couldn't enjoy 100% of the show.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

The essence of Gion

Reviewed by: Victoria

This is the meaning of it all, this is what the Geiko & Maiko are trained for. And this might be one of the very few opportunities that a tourist can see a Geiko perform. Not to be missed if you are in Kyoto during this period.
