Authentic Osaka-Style Okonomiyaki Cooking Experience

One of the most fun experiences we have had

Reviewed by: Julie Bennett

This cooking class turned out to be more than we expected. Making the food was loads of fun and getting to eat whilst chatting with the hosts was great. We stayed and chatted way after the class was finished and leant so much about japanese culture and cooking. We will definitely go back again when we next go to Japan, Highly recommended.

We had a great time with Wanaka making Udon noodles and origami. My 8 year old was very excited to make pikachu origami! We enjoyed stomping on the udon dough and we also picked up a couple of beautiful pairs of origami earrings Wanaka made herself. Highly recommend!

ナイトクルージング 個室貸切でミニパーティー！フリードリンク付＜みなとみらい＞

Emotional surprise BDP 感動のサプライズBDP

Reviewed by: Mari

I used this for a surprise birthday party for a friend who loves cruising. From the time of booking, they listened carefully to our requests, and we were excited for the day to arrive. I revealed the surprise to my friend with a blindfold and headphones in front of the ship, and they were incredibly happy! (I apologize to the other customers who were waiting behind us.) The inside of the ship was retro and really cute! The private room was even better than I imagined. It was drizzling, but we were able to enjoy the scenery enough. Above all, I was impressed by the bartender's personalized service, not just following a manual. He was handsome too. I will definitely come back! Thank you so much! o(^▽^)o

I really liked my lesson in udon making and origami and the good talk with Wakana sensei. It was easy going and fun and still I learnt a lot. Surely I will try to make udon noodles again in Germany.
It was a good way to enjoy a couple of hours in Tokyo in a good atmosphere. Thank you, sensei.

Reviewed by: mikimama

It was my first time participating. The taste and appearance of the meal were average. I felt like it wasn't really necessary. The night special viewing was beautiful, but you can enter by paying the participation fee at the entrance without a tour, so there’s no transportation provided, and I don't think I will participate again. It was smaller in scale than I expected. The service from the staff inside wasn't very good either. Once was enough for me.

初めての参加でした。味も見た目もお食事は普通でした。どちらかというといらないかなって感じです。夜間特別拝観はきれいでしたが、ツアーでなくても、入り口で参加料払えば入れるので、送迎もないし、もう参加しないと思います。思ったより規模は小さいです。中の方の対応もそういいほうではないですね。一回でいいかな。

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＞

The long-awaited riverbed cuisine. 憧れだった川床料理

Reviewed by: ETT

I was able to realize something I had always wanted to do: enjoy riverbed dining in Kyoto. I was so excited to participate, especially with the presence of maiko. It takes about 30 minutes by car from downtown Kyoto. It's a bit far, but my anticipation was building.

When I took my seat, the dishes were already prepared. They were cute and incredibly delicious, and I found myself eating them eagerly. While enjoying the meal, the maiko appeared and performed a couple of dances! It was moving! You can also take photos with the maiko.

During my visit, it was the season for fireflies, so they turned off all the lights for a moment, plunging us into darkness. I was able to see a few fireflies in the distance! Since it was a summer night, there were a few bugs, but that's to be expected. Let's enjoy that as part of nature! Overall, I was truly satisfied! I definitely want to go again.

京都で川床料理、いつかずっとやってみたかったことが実現できました。
しかも舞妓さんもいるなんて。。と期待に旨を膨らませて参加しました。
京都市内から車で30分くらいかかります。ちょっと遠いですが、期待に胸が膨らみます。
座席に着くと既にお料理が用意されていました。かわいくてとても美味しい料理で、夢中で食べてしまいました。お料理を楽しんでいると舞妓さんの登場です。2曲程踊ってくれました！！感動です！舞妓さんと写真撮影もできますよ♪その後は私の行った時はホタルがいる時期だったので一瞬証明を全て落として真っ暗にしてくれます。数匹ですが、遠くの方にホタルを見ることができました！夏の夜なので虫さんは少し多いですが、しょうがないですね。。
それも自然なので楽しみましょう！総じて本当に満足しました！また是非いきたいです。

Sake Tasting with 100 Different Kinds of Local Sake at a Bar in Ikebukuro

ii Fun night at SAKE bar !!

Reviewed by: Laugier

For someone like me who loves sake, being able to drink as much as I want of it was a huge draw. Besides sake there were also fruit liquors (apple, peach, chestnut) which were a great palate freshener.
As it is a standing bar I was a bot worried about getting tired because I was wearing heels. But at each table they provided disposable slippers, which was awesome!
As you can bring in your own food, I recommend buying lots of your favorite snacks and yummy things to much while you try all the sake!!!

日帰り温泉＆会席料理　気軽に温泉宿を愉しもう！[浮羽別館 新紫陽/日田市]

I strongly request a fundamental review of the service industry!!! 接客業としての根本的な見直しを「強く」求めます！！！

Reviewed by: けちゃっく

I used the day-trip hot spring and dumpling soup kaiseki meal plan. For lunch, the menu included small dishes, sashimi (sea bream), simmered dishes, chawanmushi, grilled rainbow trout, dumpling soup, pickles, and apple sorbet. Below are the points I appreciated and those I think could be improved.

■ Positive Points ■
- The portion sizes are generous enough to satisfy even those who eat a lot.
- The sashimi was satisfying, even for someone like me who usually enjoys delicious sashimi from Oita Prefecture.

■ Points for Improvement ■
- I wanted yuzu pepper for the dumpling soup, but it was not available on the table, and despite ringing the bell multiple times, the staff never came.
- There was no guidance about the bath after the meal, which left a disappointing "please go on your own..." feeling.
- Unable to wait for the bath information, I eventually asked the front desk staff, but they only informed me that "the bath is on the 2nd floor." I only noticed the separate outdoor bath by a sign just before leaving. It felt unkind.
- Perhaps because it was lunchtime, the temperature of the separate outdoor bath was too hot to enter comfortably.
- I couldn't find a valuables box in the bath area, and I think it's important for those using only the lunch plan to have proper valuables management. However, there was no information provided about this, which I found unsatisfactory.
- Despite having already paid by credit card through the VELTRA plan, I was charged again at the front desk when leaving. Moreover, it was a different amount than what was quoted by VELTRA, which caused significant distrust. (Because of this ending, my evaluation of the delicious food was ruined.)

This may come off as a harsh evaluation, but I want to express my honest opinion for the sake of your facility. I have used many hot springs and inns, including those in Oita Prefecture, but I felt considerable dissatisfaction and discomfort. I believe a review of customer service and reception responses would be beneficial.

*I have posted this after thoroughly reading the participant experience terms and conditions.*

日帰り温泉&団子汁会席料理プランを利用しました。
昼食は、小鉢、刺身(鯛)、炊き合わせ、茶碗蒸し、ニジマス塩焼、団子汁、漬物、りんごシャーベットの内容です。
以下、良かった点と改善していただきたいと思う点です。
■良かった点■
・料理の量は多く食べる方でも満足していただける。
・刺身は普段大分県のおいしい刺身を食べている私としても満足。
■改善していただきたいと思った点■
・団子汁に関して柚子こしょうが欲しかったが、卓上になく、ベルを何度も鳴らしても結局最後までスタッフが来なかった。
・食事を食べた後の、お風呂についての案内が全くなく、「勝手に行ってください・・・」感がが残念。
・お風呂の案内を待ちきれず、結局フロントのスタッフに声をかけたが、「お風呂は2Fにあります」としか案内されず、別の独立した露天風呂は、帰る間際に看板で気づいた。不親切。
・お昼の時間だったからかもしれないが、独立した露天風呂は湯温が熱く、とても入れるものではありませんでした。
・お風呂に貴重品BOXが見当たらず、お昼のプランのみ利用する方には、貴重品管理が大事だと思う。しかし貴重品管理の案内がなされておらず、不満に感じた。
・VELTRAのプランで一度クレジットカード支払いしているにも関わらず、帰りにフロントで代金を請求された。しかもVELTRAの料金ではない料金の請求であったため、かなりの不信感を覚えた。(終わりがこれだったから、折角の美味しい料理の評価が台無し)

辛口評価と言われるかもしれませんが、貴施設のためを思って、本音を言わせていただきます。
当方、これまで大分県内をはじめ、多くの温泉地、旅館を利用してきましたが、かなりの不満・不快感を感じました。接客をはじめ、受け入れ対応について、見直しをされた方がよいのではないかと思います。

日帰り温泉＆会席料理　気軽に温泉宿を愉しもう！[浮羽別館 新紫陽/日田市]

If I had to say, let's try a little harder. あえて言えば、もう少し頑張りましょう。

Reviewed by: SORA

I used the day trip plan this time. For lunch, the menu included small dishes, a two-type sashimi platter, simmered vegetables, chawanmushi, rainbow trout, dumpling soup, pickles, and sorbet. I tried the taro dumpling in the simmered vegetables for the first time, and it was very delicious. I think adding yuzu pepper to the dumpling soup enhances the flavor. The other dishes were average, but I felt full.

The bath has an indoor bath with an open-air bath and a separate open-air bath. The indoor bath had a very nice view, and since it was almost empty, I could leisurely enjoy the slightly slippery hot spring.

To get to the separate open-air bath, you have to go down quite a distance on an outdoor staircase. Along the way, you can see part of the men's bath, and the women's bath seems to be visible from the parking lot across the way, so I wouldn't recommend it for young women. Also, I think it would be better to have a room for resting. The day-use hot springs I have used before had considerations for guests, such as access to hotel rooms or resting areas even if the rooms weren't available. I wonder about the approach of just providing a meal and a bath and thinking that’s enough.

I am satisfied with having a full meal and enjoying the good-quality hot spring. Now, let's try to improve a bit more from the guest's perspective.

P.S. It seems that the Seven Stars train passes by. There was a timetable in the lobby.

　今回日帰りプランでの利用でした。
　昼食は、小鉢、刺身2種盛り、炊き合わせ、茶碗蒸し、虹鱒、団子汁、漬物、シャーベットという内容で、炊き合わせの里芋饅頭は初めて食べましたがとても美味しかった。団子汁は柚子胡椒を添えると味が締まると思います。他のお味は普通でしたがお腹いっぱいになりました。
　風呂は露天風呂付内湯と独立した露天風呂があります。内湯の方は景観がとてもよく、貸し切り状態だったこともあり、少しぬるっとした温泉をのんびり楽しむことができました。
　独立してある露天風呂の方は、外階段をかなりの距離を降りて行くことになります。途中、男風呂の中が一部見えますし、女性用は向かいの駐車場から見えそうな作りになっているので、若い女性にはおすすめできません。それから、休憩できるお部屋を用意した方がよいと思います。今まで利用したことのある日帰り温泉は、ホテルのお部屋が使えたり、部屋が使えなくても休憩所があったりと客に対しての心使いがありました。食事して、風呂に入ったからいいでしょ的な所はいかがなものかと思います。
　食事してお腹いっぱいになって、泉質のよいお風呂に入ってという所は満足です。あとは、客の立場に立ってもう少し頑張りましょう。
　追記：ななつ星が通過するようです。ロビーに時刻表がありました。

Sake Tasting with 100 Different Kinds of Local Sake at a Bar in Ikebukuro

Will make anyone a sake fan

Reviewed by: DOTH

Wasn't sure about what to do on Friday night in Tokyo, and this seemed interesting. It was a little bit hard to find (make sure you print out the directions, unlike me!), but it was cool to enter this totally normal looking building and step out into the bar. There were lots of people having a good night out, and lots of other women, so my 3 friends and I felt comfortable. The sake bottles have colored dots that let you know what kind it is, which was helpful and they have the 'house rules' in English too. We bought lots of snacks at a convenience store and stayed for over 4 hours!

Fun Weekday Wagashi Japanese Sweets Cooking Class in Tokyo

Great experience with wonderful staff

Reviewed by: Alan

The instructor and staff were excellent and you get to try to make a few different wagashi sweets yourself. This is a very worthwhile experience because many local Japanese people themselves rarely get a chance to make wagashi. The actual building is a little tricky to find but I was able to ask for directions when I was near the area.
