福王山 正覚寺 日帰り修行体験|坐禅・精進料理・法話・作務など お写経体験付きプランあり!<1名様より受付/飯能市>

First training experience 初めての修行体験

Reviewed by: maha

I was able to clear my mind and refresh myself by doing zazen without thinking about anything. After listening to the temple's talk, I felt like my worries started to fade away. The shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) was very delicious!

座禅で何も考えずに頭の中を空っぽにすることができ、リフレッシュになりました。その後お寺さんのお話を聞いて考えていたら悩みがなくなってきた気がしました
精進料理がとても美味しかったです!

江戸切子体験 十数種のグラスと数十もの柄サンプルから選べる 講座付きのプランもあり<浅草駅 徒歩3分!創吉浅草店>

I was nervous! 緊張した〜!

Reviewed by: ミイ

I participated in the rain brought by the wandering typhoon. I struggled with choosing a design due to the complexity of the many sample cuts and the difference in my own skills after practicing. I was nervous that if I carved too deeply, I might create holes. With the teacher's advice, I was able to complete it somehow. Next time, I want to challenge myself with a more complex design! (I had fun participating even on my own!)

迷走台風のもたらす雨の中参加しました。
たくさんある見本のカットの複雑さと
練習してみての自分の力量との差をどうしようかと図案選びに悩みました。
深く彫ると穴が空きそうでおっかなびっくり。
先生のアドバイスもありなんとか完成出来ました。
次回はもっと複雑な図案に挑戦してみたいです!
(1人でも楽しく参加出来ました!)

The captain was very wonderful! 船長さんが、とても素敵でした!

Reviewed by: ナカジー

We participated as a couple and had a very enjoyable time.
We enjoyed a comfortable cruise!
We were able to stop the boat twice to admire the view from the second floor, and after taking our time to take photos, we truly savored the scenery. Thank you!
The female captain kindly took photos for us, and they turned out much nicer than the ones we took ourselves!
The food consisted of freshly fried tempura served one after another, and we were full and satisfied!
I would love to ride again when sightseeing in Tokyo!

夫婦での参加でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
快適なクルージングを楽しめました♪
途中で2回も船を止めて2回からの景色を眺めることが出来て、ゆっくり写真をとったら、景色を堪能する事が出来ました。ありがとうございました♪
女性の船長さんが、サービスで、写真を撮って頂きましたが、自分で撮るより、よっぽど綺麗に撮れました!
料理は、揚げたての天麩羅が次々と出していただき、満腹、満足でした!
又、東京見物の時には乗りたいと思います♪

Dear Nakaji,

Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you and your spouse had a wonderful time.

It’s great to know that you enjoyed the scenic views while the ship was docked and the photo opportunities provided by the captain. We take great care in preparing the tempura so that you can enjoy it fresh and hot. Your kind words are truly encouraging.

We appreciate your intention to join us again during your sightseeing in Tokyo. We look forward to creating more wonderful memories with you next time.

The daytime cruise offers a different experience from the evening one, allowing you to enjoy the scenery from afar and discover new charms of Tokyo. We hope you will consider trying it next time.

Thank you very much.

京都・嵐山 貸切屋形船 水面から季節を楽しむ優雅な舟遊び<飲食物持込OK/1時間貸切>by 嵐山通船

The best yakatabune (houseboat). 最高の屋形船

Reviewed by: すぎちゃん

We rented a private boat as a family. It was a hot day with a 12:00 boarding time, but the boat had a roof, so it wasn't hot at all, and it felt very pleasant. We had lunch on the boat, bringing our own rice balls and other snacks. Along the way, a convenience store boat came by, and we bought some pickled cucumbers, which made for the perfect lunch with our rice balls and croquettes! They got really close to us, and their maneuvering skills were impressive.

The captain spoke to us gently at key moments, showing consideration for our family's relaxing time. It was a very satisfying hour! Thank you!

家族で貸切で乗りました。12:00からの乗船で暑い日だったのですが、船には屋根もあり暑くなく、とても気持ちよかったです。船の中でお昼ご飯を食べました。おにぎり等持ち込みました。途中水上コンビニの船が来てくださり、きゅうりの浅漬を買い持ち込んだおにぎりとコロッケで最高のランチが出来ました!ギリギリまで近寄ってくれてその操作技術が素晴らしかったです。
船頭さんは要所要所で穏やかに話しかけてくださり、家族でゆっくりしている時間を気遣ってくださいました。大満足の1時間でした!ありがとうございました!

The houseboat has a roof, so while it may not be cool, it provides shade from the sun, making for a comfortable experience. Thank you for expressing your great satisfaction. Here, you can enjoy the scenery throughout the four seasons. We look forward to your family’s next visit aboard.

I am more satisfied than I expected. The food was delicious, and the boat停船 at a beautiful viewpoint for enough time to enjoy the night view. However, there were no markers at the boarding area, so I was worried if this was the right place until the departure time.

It's fun! 楽しい!

Reviewed by: KIYO

I experienced this on the day of the typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to avoid the heavy rain, so after moving to the store, I was able to participate without any issues. The instructor's sister taught us with great care. I was grateful for the precise guidance on how to carve patterns that I find difficult and on areas for improvement. I could practice while preparing for the main event, and I was also taught difficult and stylish designs.

The instructor praised us very well, which kept my motivation high and allowed me to focus. Unfortunately, I carved too much and made a hole in my glass, but they suggested trying again. (I had to give up due to time constraints.) My wife, who participated with me, finished her piece properly, so I believe that with a little caution, anyone can create something well.

Although I made a hole, I still completed it, so I plan to use it as a cactus pot. However, I feel frustrated, so I want to try again. I think anyone who enjoys crafting will have a great time.

台風直撃日に体験しましたが、幸い土砂降りのタイミングから外れていた為、お店に移動後、問題なく体験できました。先生のお姉さんに丁寧に教えて頂けます。自分の苦手な模様の削り方や、改善ポイントなども的確に指導して頂けるが有難かったです。練習しながら本番に挑めますし、難しい図案や格好良い図案なども教えて頂けます。
とても上手に褒めてくださるので、モチベーションも下がらず、集中して挑めます。残念ながら私は削りすぎてグラスに穴を開けてしまいましたが、もう一つやってみますかとご提案して下さいました。(時間の都合で諦めました)一緒に体験した妻はキチンと仕上げていましたので、無茶しなければ上手に作ることが出来ると思います。
穴は空きましたが、完成はしたので、サボテン鉢にでも活用しようと思います。が、悔しいのでリベンジしようと思います。ものづくりが好きな方はとても楽しめると思います。

The event held in August was aimed at children. 8月開催はお子様向けでした

Reviewed by: hana

I missed it! This time, there was a guest appearance by Sento-kun from Nara. It was a children's event, haha. The food in the lounge and all the performances were aimed at kids, so it felt a bit lacking for me and my mother. The Noh theater inside the hotel was very beautiful, with great facilities and stage. The restrooms were clean and easy to find. It was the middle of summer in Shibuya, but it was very cool, and we were able to spend our time comfortably.

Wonderful! 素晴らしい!

Reviewed by: れぃれぃ

I invited my best friend to experience Kyogen for the first time. I actually wanted to wear a kimono, but it was too hot, so I gave up. I was amazed to find such a pure Japan experience so close to Shibuya Station! The moment I stepped into the Noh theater, I exclaimed, "Wow!"

Since it was a kids' session, there were many explanations for children, but adults also had plenty to learn and laugh about. From the pre-show talk to the main performance and the subsequent quiz and photo session, I enjoyed it all to the fullest. I definitely want to participate again.

初めての狂言体験を…と親友を誘って行きました。
本当は着物を着て行きたかったけど、暑くて断念。渋谷の駅近にこれほど純ジャパン!な場所があるなんて…能楽堂に一歩足を踏み入れた瞬間「わぁー!」と感嘆してしまいました。
forキッズの回だったからか、子供用の解説も多かったのですが、大人も充分学びあり笑いありで、前説から始まり、本編とその後のクイズや撮影会まで、フルに楽しめました。
ぜひまた参加したいです。

Such a fun activity with my 16 year old daughter. We went to the studio and were pleasantly surprised to find out if was a personal lesson for just the two of us! Our teacher was so lovely and you could tell how passionate she was about her craft. She explained the whole process thoroughly and helped us if we needed it on each step. The packaging so we could transport our projects back home was also amazing. I did not expect to have that done for us either! Highly recommend if you're into arts and crafts!!

I had the best two hours! 最高の2時間が過ごせました!

Reviewed by: 猫太郎

This was my second time using the service, following last summer. A week after my trip, my eldest son, who missed last summer's trip, will be turning twenty, so I wanted to arrange a surprise for him. I tried to make a reservation, but it happened to be a day off. Since it was the day before, I emailed to inquire if a surprise could still be arranged, explaining the situation. I received a response indicating it would be difficult. However, the next day, I received an email saying they would check with the operating company, and as a result, they were able to switch the day off to the day of the event and the day of the event to a day off. This was truly a surprise. I quickly made a reservation for four people. On the day, we enjoyed a delicious Wagyu steak course while being celebrated by a Hawaiian singer who resembled Susan (sorry) through a surprise performance, making it the best birthday celebration a week in advance. I don't remember the name of the singer (let's call her Susan), but she went around greeting each table while playing the ukulele and even saw us off on the deck when we left, providing wonderful hospitality and performance throughout. It was a two-hour experience that made me want to come back next year. Thank you very much.

昨夏に続いて2度目の利用。渡航の1週間後に昨夏不参加だった長男が二十歳を迎える事からサプライズ演出をお願いしたく予約を入れようとしたところ、丁度運休日。前日だと8日前の為、サプライズ演出は可能かを事情も入れメールにて問い合わせ。難しい旨の連絡を頂く。しかし翌日、催行会社に問い合わせてみる旨のメールが届き、結果、運休日だった当日を催行日に、催行日だった前日を運休日とし、入れ替えて頂ける事になったとの連絡を頂く。これぞサプライズ。早速4名で予約を入れた。当日は和牛ステーキコースを美味しく頂きながら、スーザン小雪似の(すいません)ハワイアンシンガーの方にサプライズ演出にて祝って頂き、最高の誕生日1週間前となりました。名前は覚えていないスーザン(仮)さん、各テーブルをウクレレを弾きながら挨拶して回られていたり、帰りもデッキで見送って頂き、終始素晴らしい振る舞い、パフォーマンスだった。また来年もお世話になりたいと思える2時間だった。有難う御座いました。

Koto Music Lesson For All Ages in Kyoto

A great experience

Reviewed by: Eric

Since I arrived early to the appointment, the instructor started the lesson earlier with little preparation needed which was very much appreciated.

The lesson itself was great. Even though English was harder for her, she still communicated well how to play the instrument by demonstrating and giving verbal explanation, which helped me learn quickly. Since I had learned the song she had prepared for the lesson, she was flexible and had two other songs that I could play and I had a great time learning and playing the instrument.

She also gave me small sweets and took the time to talk to me after the lesson. She took the time to accommodate beyond what I had expected from the lesson, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn.

奈良駅発 日帰りバスツアー 法隆寺+中宮寺+慈光院+薬師寺+唐招提寺<約7時間/昼食付/JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発>

Knowledge, inspiration, and excitement! A wonderful trip to Nara (We walked a lot in the scorching heat!) 知識と感動と興奮!素晴らしい奈良旅(猛暑の中たくさん歩きました!)

Reviewed by: aki

In February of this year, I used a walking tour in Vancouver through Veltra and had such a great experience that I decided to rely on them for my trip to Nara as well.

This trip to Nara, which I had longed for, also served as a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of the manga "Hidari no Tenko," which I was obsessed with in my youth. It had been over 30 years since my last visit during a school trip.

The guide from Nara Kotsu was fantastic, with a smooth and engaging storytelling style. I was captivated and was able to explore this dream destination filled with emotion and excitement. Despite the scorching heat, I appreciated the thoughtful services like the loan of parasols and cold towels.

The sliced narazuke I bought as a souvenir at the lunch spot, Benkei, was incredibly delicious, and I regret not buying more. (To be honest, the lunch itself was a bit disappointing...)

The stories from the head priest at Jiko-in were interesting, and my husband and I found ourselves excitedly discussing them on the way home.

Traveling with a guide was more efficient than going solo, and I gained deeper knowledge from the guide's stories, making me love Nara even more.

今年2月にバンクーバー街歩きツアーをベルトラさん経由で利用してとても良かったので、この奈良旅もお世話になることにしました。

若い頃ハマった漫画「日出処の天子」聖地巡りも兼ねて念願の奈良旅へ。修学旅行以来30余年振りでした。

奈良交通のガイドさんのよどみのない話ぶりが素晴らしく、聴き惚れながら、感動と興奮に包まれて憧れの地をめぐることができました。
猛暑日でしたが、日傘の貸し出しや冷たいおしぼりをご用意いただいたりと細やかなサービスがありがたかったです。

昼食処の弁慶さんでお土産に買った刻みなら漬がとても美味しく、もっと買ってくればよかったと後悔中。(昼食自体は正直イマイチ…でした)

慈光院のご住職のお話が面白く、帰路で主人と何度もその話で盛り上がりました。

個人でまわるよりも効率良く、ガイドさんのお話から知識が深まりより楽しめ、奈良がますます好きになりました。

船酔いを多少心配しましたが、殆ど揺れず問題なかったです。

奈良駅発 日帰りバスツアー 法隆寺+中宮寺+慈光院+薬師寺+唐招提寺<約7時間/昼食付/JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発>

It was hot, but... 暑かったですが

Reviewed by: かわやす

It was a very hot day, but the visiting time was well balanced, allowing us to efficiently explore. I was very satisfied to enjoy the coolness of the trees at Jiko-in, which I had not known about before, while listening to the priest's talk and having matcha.

とても暑い日でしたが、見学時間もちょうど良い配分で、効率よく回れて、今まで存じ上げなかった慈光院で木々の涼しさに癒されながら住職のお話を伺ってお抹茶をいただいたり大変満足でした。

江戸切子体験 十数種のグラスと数十もの柄サンプルから選べる 講座付きのプランもあり<浅草駅 徒歩3分!創吉浅草店>

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: まっちー

I had wanted to experience glass cutting for a long time, so I participated in this workshop. The instructor was very kind, and since there were few participants, they were accommodating with my design requests, resulting in a very satisfying finish! I would love to go back and create more. Thank you very much! 😊

ずっと切子体験したくて参加させてもらいました。
先生も優しく、参加者が少ないのもあってデザインのわがままを聞いてくださり、とても満足いく仕上がりでした!また作りに行きたいです♪
ありがとうございました(^^)

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Such a pleasant experience!!

Reviewed by: Nicole G.

I just made my own bowl of ramen this weekend and I was helped by one of the workers, Ryou. He was so sweet!! He was able to communicate effectively in English, showed me every step with patience, rooted me on, and even offered to take photos/videos of me throughout the process. After I was finished making my bowl, it took only about 5 minutes for it to dry and I was ready to go!

They also have an area where they sell fake food goodies, and I bought myself some gyoza earrings. It was an easy, quick walk from the station. If you’re into fake food, definitely recommend!!
