VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Such a fun experience! This class is a must if you visit Kyoto!

My wife and I scheduled this bento box cooking class because we wanted to do something other than shrines and temples in Kyoto. We didn't know what to expect, but we were both pleasantly surprised!

A few days before our class, the cooking instructor asked where we were staying and informed us on how to get to the house. It ended up being faster to walk from our hotel, so the plan was to walk from our hotel back to her house. Well, it was raining pretty hard on the day of the class so the host met us at our hotel and used her own money to get us a cab back to her house.

The class was a lot of fun! The couple that runs the class was super easy to talk to and did a good job at making us foreigners feel welcome in their home. Also, they have a super cute cat and a playful dog.

After the class was over, the host walked us to the nearest bridge and pointed us in the direction of our hotel. It was raining pretty hard and my wife and I were sharing a single umbrella. The host noticed and offered me her own personal umbrella.

In summary, the cooking class was a lot of fun and the couple that runs it are some of the nicest people I've met. Definitely check this out if you're in Kyoto!
