Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Easy and quick, perfect activity for children

Reviewed by: The Campbells

Making lettuce and shrimp tempura was quite interesting process, our boys and I really enjoyed putting our hands in the water, witnessing how drops of candle change to the leafs of lettuce in our hands.

Excellent choice of activities, it was easy enough I had 13 and 9 years with me, they did excellent job, I can't wait to take them back to USA and trick my friends offering Tempura at our house!...lol

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

Well worth it!

Reviewed by: Rachel

This cruise is great, I would highly recommend! It was mostly Japanese with a couple of Westerners, however they made us feel very welcome, giving all commentaries/instructions in Japanese and (good) English and just generally the staff were very friendly.

The food is good and plentiful and drink just keeps flowing with a good selection. A lot of the food was fish (no meat) so it may be difficult if you're a vegetarian, unless you can request. Nothing was too odd though (I dont like eating random things!) and I ate and loved it all!

The staff explain the various sites you go past and even though it was pouring with rain we still got a good overview and some great photos. They stop a couple of times so you can have a look and go onto the top of the boat

The people around us were friendly and we just felt like even though we were in the minority we were very welcome!

It was one of the highlights of our trip and I would say go for it, there are not many cruises like it as far as I can tell and it feels very authentic.

【西陣くらしの美術館】 登録有形文化財の町家見学＜上京区＞by西陣 冨田屋

I experienced it while thinking that this is the kind of house that appears in plays and novels. お芝居や小説の舞台はこういうお家なのかと思いながら体験しました。

Reviewed by: 龍に片想い

After the explanation of the annual events, we were able to view the house. I found the kamidana (Shinto altar), butsudan (Buddhist altar), the beautiful garden, the storehouse, and the stairs leading to the employees' rooms very interesting. The tea room is a historic place named by the Musakōji family, so it was a bit disappointing that we could only observe and experience the tea ceremony in a separate room with standing etiquette. The meal was very delicious.

　一年の行事の説明後、お家を拝見させていただきます。
神棚、仏壇、立派なお庭や蔵、お茶室、従業員のお部屋に通じる階段など、大変興味深かったです。
　お茶室は、武者小路の家元が名づけた由緒のあるところなので、見学だけで、別室での立礼での茶道体験です、少し、残念でした。
　お食事は大変美味しかったです。

very nice Kimono choices

This is the only place we found offer Kimono, not simple summer clothing in Tokyo. The selection is very broad in all kinds of colors. The dressing service and over experience is wonderful. The photographer is nice too. It is important to keep in mind that the photography fee is depending on number of people in the group. So since we have 3 people, we need to pay 15,000 JPN Yen for hiring the photographer.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Definitely a Night to Remember

Reviewed by: TNH!

Walking into the Shozan Garden your receive an immediate feeling of both awe and Zen at its mere beauty. We were then greeted by several staff members who seated and served us during our meal. The meal was a traditional Japanese meal that gave you an intro into Japanese cuisine; if you are not already familiar. Towards the middle of our meal, the beautiful maiko was introduced and began her performance which was the definition of grace, beauty and eludes to the work and craft of the full Geisha. Later that evening walking thorough the Shozan Garden you feel at peace, as though this is the place in which you could live out your existence. This experience should be a #1 on your list of things to do in Kyoto.

We booked the sundae workshop, and after completing it we realised we should of booked a full day and done all of them!
I booked this (female) for my partner and I to do, he wasnt looking forward to it but ending up having alot of fun.
The guy we had was fantastic, we took lots of photos, he explained everything perfectly.
It was alittle tricky to find, we did follow the directions but went too far - the place is part of a house, and there is a little sliding door where you need to go. So if you end up at a t-intersection after it says it is on the left hand side you have gone too far.

My 5 yr old did this and the tart keychain. Although he was too small to handle the piping 'gun', he really wanted to try it.

It's very similar to the tart making in that you pick 5 decorative items, pipe the cream then decorate!

Food sample making experience 食品サンプル作り体験

Reviewed by: アリエル

The workshop was located in a typical residential area, and the large sign made it easy to find. We participated as a pair and made ramen and parfait clips.

There was another group already working on making tempura at the experience location. Although it was a small workshop, each group was happily working with the instructors. During the process, I learned that ramen is made from "wax" and parfait from "vinyl resin."

The instructor carefully explained the characteristics of each material, and I think it's better to create different items when participating in a group, as it allows everyone to learn about various food sample-making processes. When we actually made the items, there were examples of failed attempts and various sizes and colors of topping samples prepared in advance, which made it very efficient and allowed us to create cute clips without any mistakes.

When we were leaving, our creations were carefully packed into boxes, so even though I live overseas, they didn't get damaged during the long flight. Additionally, I received a document that briefly explained the history of food samples and the challenges of expanding globally. In a short time, I was able to learn not only about the materials' characteristics but also about the history of sample making and the difficulties of global expansion, thanks to the instructors' thorough preparation and efforts to ensure participants had an enjoyable experience. I believe this activity can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

Also, since I booked through Veltra and paid in advance, the experience went smoothly without the common reservation or payment issues often encountered abroad. Thank you for a wonderful time.

一般の住宅街の中に工房はありました。大きな看板が目印になっていたので、場所を探すのに時間はかかりませんでした。
二人での参加でしたが、ラーメンとパフェクリップを作りました。

体験場所にはもう一組のグループが先に天ぷら作成の作業をしていました。
小さな工房でしたが、それぞれのグループが先生方と和気あいあいと作業を進めていました。
作業を進めていく中で、ラーメンは「ろう」、パフェは「ビニール樹脂」を材料に作成することを知りました。

それぞれの材料の個性を先生に丁寧に説明して頂き、複数人で参加する場合は、それぞれ違うものを作ったほうが色々な食品サンプル作りの過程を知ることができ良いと思います。実際に作る時も、失敗作の例や色々なサイズや色が異なるトッピングサンプルを事前に準備して頂いてたので、とても効率よく、かわいらしいクリップを失敗することなく作ることができました。

帰り際には丁寧に作品を箱に詰めていただけたので、私は海外に住んでいますが、長時間の飛行機移動でも崩れることはなかったです。
また、帰り際に食品サンプルの歴史や世界進出の難しさなどが簡単に説明された文書をもらいました。短い時間に、ただ作るだけではなくて、材料の個性やサンプル作りの歴史、世界進出の難しさを知れたのは、工房の先生方が事前にしっかり準備をして、体験者が楽しめるように尽力されているからこそだと思いました。
このアクティビティは子供大人関係なく楽しめると思います。

またベルトラ経由で予約、事前支払だったので、海外でよく経験する予約時間や会計でのトラブルなくスムーズに体験ができ安心しました。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

乗合屋形船 お台場＆スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理＆飲み放題付！ 全船掘りごたつ＆スカイデッキ完備＜両国発＞by 晴海屋

Ah, it was so much fun!! あ〜楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: よーだ

This year, the Golden Week has a long holiday, but I can't take much time off due to work ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀). So, I wanted to do something special, and I ended up choosing a yakatabune (houseboat)! I was really looking forward to riding it after such a long time.

When we entered the yakatabune, there were name tags placed. For some reason, our names were in English, but it was actually nice because the English menu included the history of the yakatabune (´∀｀*). Beer was served around the time of departure! I skipped lunch for the evening, so it was perfect! The food was delicious, and I was very satisfied!

There are two stopping points. The first one was for about 10 minutes with the Tokyo Skytree in the background. The next stop was at Odaiba for about an hour. We could take a lot of photos there. During that time, the crew members told us about various landmarks and brought us freshly fried tempura! There were about five types, but the anago (conger eel) was especially delicious♡

There was a show partway through, featuring a lion dance and nankin tamasudare (a traditional performance). I had only seen nankin tamasudare on TV, so it was really fun! It was interactive, and everyone got really excited, creating a friendly atmosphere. People from overseas, elderly guests, and children all seemed to be having a great time.

With delicious food, plenty of drinks, and a pleasant breeze from the windows, it turned into a wonderful night. It was impressive that my husband, who usually doesn't express his feelings much, kept saying how much he enjoyed it! I definitely want to come again!

今年は連休が長いGWですが、私は仕事のため、あまり休めません( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)そこで何か特別なことがしたいと思い、たどりついたのが屋形船でした！
久しぶりに乗るのでとても楽しみでした。

屋形船に入ると名前の札がおいてあります。何故か私達の名前は英語表記になってましたがw、英語メニューに屋形船の歴史とかが書いてあったので、逆によかったです(´∀｀*)
出航ぐらいのタイミングでビールが配られます！夜のためにお昼をぬいてたので、最高！
お料理もおいしく、大満足！
２箇所停留ポイントがあります。初めはスカイツリーをバックに10分程。次はお台場で1時間くらいかな？そこでたくさん写真がとれます～。
その間は船員さんが、名所をところどころ教えてくれたり、揚げたての天ぷらを持ってきてくれます！
5種類くらいありましたが、特に穴子が美味でした♡
途中からショーがあり、獅子舞の踊りとなんきんたますだれをやってくれました。特になんきんたますだれはテレビでしか見たことなく、とても楽しかったです！参加型でしたので、皆さん大いに盛り上がって、和気あいあいとしたムードに。海外の方や、お年寄りからお子さんまでみんな楽しそう。
美味しいご飯と、たくさんのお酒そして窓からの風が心地よく、とても素敵な夜になりました。
あんまり普段感想を言わない旦那さんも、楽しかったと何回も言ってたのも印象的でした！
また是非きたいです！

Today, I'm making ramen.
Believe it or not, I'm a repeat visitor!
After enjoying the tart-making experience last time, I brought along an acquaintance from America.
Unlike tarts, ramen involves working with wax, shaping the noodles and menma in hot water.
For the noodles, I dip 3-4 strands in hot water and twist them into a figure-eight shape.
I start by making menma from rectangular pieces.
Recalling the shape of menma, I knead, twist, and pull.
I already feel like a skilled craftsman. ( *´艸｀)
For the broth, I pour colored wax into the bowl.
This part is a bit hot, so I asked the workshop staff for help.
I cut green onions into stick shapes with scissors and beautifully arrange the spinach, naruto, and green onions.
I ended up with a very satisfying bowl of ramen.

Thank you to everyone at the workshop for the detailed explanations about the properties of wax and for all the thoughtful assistance.
I will definitely come back with someone else.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Professional Kimono Pictures and Experience

I have always wanted to try a Kimono but never had a chance to, so definitely wanted to try this photo shoot when I came to Japan. The whole experience was so amazingly wonderful. The girls spoke English well and we were able to communicate. There were so many different gorgeous Kimonos to choose from. They help to make my hair and had an abundance of hair pins to choose from (There were so many different ones that I couldn't make my choice but was glad that I had their guidance.) The photo shoot was very friendly and fun. I definitely enjoyed my pictures afterwards and wanted all of them. Best of all, you finished your experience with sweets and macha tea in the end. What girl doesn't like ending with sweets right? This was definitely a fun experience and would recommend to anyone!

乗合屋形船 お台場・スカイツリー周遊コース 季節のお料理＆飲み放題付＜蔵前発＞by船宿 釣新

The yakatabune (houseboat) was enjoyable for both adults and children! 屋形船、大人も子供も楽しめました！

Reviewed by: mari

I participated with a friend and my friend's son (a first grader).

When we gathered at the meeting place, we noticed a few foreign visitors who were also in Japan. There were five groups of participants on the boat. The interior of the boat was very clean, and it was nice to sit in chairs instead of on tatami mats. With about 20 participants, we were able to enjoy the spaciousness both inside the boat and on the deck.

The meal was luxurious, featuring sashimi, steamed clams, tempura, and more, with portions so generous that we couldn't finish everything. During the trip, a small boat came alongside our yakatabune and sold us boiled clams. I bought some as souvenirs, and they were delicious.

The weather was nice, allowing us to enjoy the outdoor scenery. The view from the boat was great, and we docked near the Rainbow Bridge and close to Tokyo Skytree, where we could enjoy the scenery from the deck as well. Although it was quite warm during the day, it got a bit chilly at night, so I thought it would have been good for the child to have an extra layer.

Surprisingly, the elementary school student didn't get bored, and both adults and children were very satisfied with the experience.

友達と、友達の息子（１年生）と３人で参加しました。

集合場所に集まると、やはり、日本を訪れている外国人の姿がちらほら。船には５組の参加者でした。船内とても綺麗で、座敷ではなく椅子に座れたのもよかったです。20人くらいの参加者だったので、船内もデッキ上も広々と利用することができました。

食事はお刺身、ハマグリの酒蒸し、天ぷらなど豪華で量も食べきれないほどでした。移動中、小さな船が屋形船に横づけしてきて、アサリの佃煮を販売してくれました。お土産に買って帰ったのですが、こちらも美味しく頂いてます。

天気も良く、外の景観も楽しむことができました。船からの景色もよかったですが、レインボーブリッジ近く、スカイツリー間近かで船が停泊され、デッキ上からも景色を楽しむことができました。昼間は暑いくらいの季節ですが、夜は少々冷えるので、子どもは余計に一枚上着を持って
いてもよかったなとも思います。

思っていた以上に、小学生が退屈せずに過ごしてくれ、大人も大満足の内容でした。

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

Beautiful Kimonos and Incredible welcome

Reviewed by: Ffion

As there were no reviews of this experience, I was not sure what to expect but as soon as our taxi pulled up at the address and there was a clear sign directing to us to the right floor, I was reassured!

We were greeted by two incredibly hospitable and welcoming Japanese ladies who were incredibly passionate about their business. It was honestly a priviledge to visit them in their studio. First there was the opportunity to choose a Kimono to my tastes and then they did my hair in a style fitting for the Kimono (you also get to choose matching hair accessories too) which was great. After this I touched up my make up and they began to put the Kimono on.

The main experience is then having your photos taken in the studio part along with some fun Japanese accessories. For this experience you have one printed photo included from the photo shoot and you can pay extra to take the digital prints away - which I did as it wasn't too expensive.

I can honestly say that the whole experience was fun and professional with the Japanese ladies making you feel totally at ease the whole time. My husband came along (but he didn't fancy dressing up!) and they made him feel very welcome too and let him take photos of me for free in the kimono outside of the studio too (which I thought was very generous).

After the photo shoot we were both served some delicious green tea and Japanese sweets which ended off the experience brilliantly. This was a totally worthwhile experience and in my opinion much better than walking around outside in a Kimono which I saw lots of tourists do! The quality of their kimonos is so much better and as they are more princess style, it feels incredibly luxurious to wear them. As the lift doors closed at the end of this experience we were left with the image of the two ladies bowing to us on our way out - I cannot rate them highly enough.

Overall a fantastic experience and I'm so glad I chose to do it!
