We had no idea what to expect for this experience but we were pleasantly surprised. We each made a plastic parfait and it was so much fun. Our teacher was super friendly and encouraging, and he spoke English well. It's a little bit out of the way from the centre of Tokyo, but worth the trip. Definitely give this a go if you have some spare time and want something unique.

We went to the tea ceremony and geisha performance in Kyoto and thought both weee wonderful. The geisha doing the tea was stunningly graceful- beautiful to watch. Re the performance, the Kabuki in Tokyo had finished the October sessions and the place in Kyoto was still not open after renovations but this performance was fabulous alternative. Beautiful costumes, live musicians, well designed sets etc made for a dramatic performance- not just beautiful girls moving around to recorded music.

We were very happy with the show and even more pleased we had the opportunity to be a part of the annual dance performance. The final act was beautifully done with Maikos and Geishas. The tea ceremony was quite rushed and did not resemble a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Overall a real authentic cultural experience, without any pictures as they were not allowed.

I dressed my daughter in a kimono for her coming-of-age ceremony. The fitting was done with great taste, and my daughter was very happy. We were even asked by foreign tourists to take photos together... We also enjoyed a luxurious sightseeing experience in Otaru by riding in a rickshaw. Meeting the wonderful people of Otaru made for a delightful trip.

Went with wife and mother. Very friendly staff. We were helped by a younger fellow who was very nice. No problem with the language barrier. Everyone had a good time. If you want to try your hand at making fake food, this is the place to visit. Afterward, they boxed our creations very securely so we can transport them safely home. It takes a day to cure, so try to give yourself time so it can survive the flight back.
Thanks for the great experience!

Seeing performance by Geisha is a must do in Japan. In the past you need to know someone from the tea house to arrange such activity and a private dinner. It's very nice that we can book private performance and dinner with a Maiko (geisha trainee) via the internet nowadays with English translator. Highly recommended activity.
Thank you very much for booking the dinner with us, we are glad to hear you enjoyed the experience!
We shall continue to strive to provide the best service possible for our guests.

Also, they pack your lovely food samples with good care. I am particularly impressed by how firendly and helpful our workshop tutor is - he tells us how to get to the nearest station in the most convenient and cheapest way with a printed map, and immediately looks for and recommends me a great udon shop when we tell him we would like to have udon as our lunch. He also speaks slowly to pander to my standard of Japanese. We really enjoy chatting with him much :)! It is definitely one of the most remarkable and marvelous memories throughout our journey. They are undoubtedly the loveliest people I have ever met in Tokyo. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful day in Tokyo.

It was just okay.
Deciding in advance on the tenderness of the meat based on previous reviews was the right choice.
The cruise felt like it was just going around the port, so I couldn't really enjoy the scenery.
Overall, it seemed like the atmosphere was geared towards people from China and Korea.
まあまあかな。
料理は以前のレビューを参考にしてお肉の固さをあらかじめ決めたのは正解でした。
クルーズは港をまわる感じで、いまいち景色を楽しめなかった。

The steak for the meal was terrible, tough, and inedible. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked and served it well done. I've heard that all the steaks are cooked the same way, but this isn't school lunch. It was the worst. Also, I don't know what language the people around me were speaking, but they were loud and noisy. I can't recommend this place to anyone, and we won't be using it again.
食事のステーキはまずくてかたくて食えない。焼き方も希望を聞きに来ないで、well done
に焼いていた。聞くところによれば焼き方はすべて同じ、ということだが学校のの給食ではない。最低だった。 また、周囲はどこの国の言葉か知らないが大きな声でしゃべりやかましい。
これでは人にも勧められないし、私たちも二度と利用しない。

This was a great experience for us. The owner taught us so much about the history of fake food making, which was really interesting. Making the parfait was also easy with the instructions and quite a lot of fun. Finding this place was a bit of trouble, since Google Maps took us to the wrong location, so if following GPS, be careful of where it leads you. The English was not too bad at this place, so it is okay if you don't understand Japanese and the booking is in English too. Strongly recommended as price was good value.
