Ninja Zen Meditation Experience w/ Five Elements Program & Breathing Techniques

A Unique and Fun Zen Experience in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Liam Pohling

Male in his 20s / Germany
I’m currently living in Tokyo on a student visa from Germany, and this was my first time trying out Ninja Zen Meditation.

The staff picked me up at the meeting spot and guided me to the venue, so I didn’t have to worry about getting lost. The place itself was a really cool traditional Japanese house. Just stepping inside made it feel like I was entering a completely different world, which got me really excited for the experience.

The meditation wasn’t just sitting quietly but included unique movements like walking blindfolded and using a wooden sword, which kept things interesting and fun. I never felt bored because the balance was just right, and I found it easy to focus.

There was also an English interpreter the whole time, so I could easily follow along without any stress.

They also gave us a booklet on the “Kuji-Goshin-Ho” (Nine Syllable Protection Method) and an English pamphlet about Ninja Zen Meditation, both of which I’m definitely taking back to Germany as great souvenirs.

Kintsugi Class in Tokyo - Hands-On Pottery Repair with Gold Powder

Fantastic, favorite event!

Reviewed by: JZSP

Highly recommend. This was our favorite part of a great trip! Toshie is a wonderful teacher and she has set up this easy-going experience so that it's fun and accessible for everyone. Absolutely worth the price!

Our group was two couples, it was just us; I think she extended the time because she saw we were having fun. Skill and language are no barriers, she has pictures, labels, and experience doing this for many years and it's easy to learn from her and incredibly fun! She serves tea and snacks to enjoy and you can chat casually as you work and wait for things to dry. Plus you get an incredible, one-of-a-kind souvenir/gift/memento out of it! (Which she packages securely for you to travel without worry of damaging it.)

As a tourist who doesn't speak Japanese, this was the activity that left me feeling the closest connection to the culture.

Let me start by saying this art form is so cool and everywhere in Japan. And make no mistake, this is an art studio that has been passed down for generations. We had a great time and learned a lot of new things, immersing ourselves in this unique art form with wonderful teachers. Highly recommend.

Don't miss this experience while you're in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Zane

From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. It's an intimate, private class inside the artist's studio. The instructor provided information on the history of kintsugi and carefully guided us through each step of the process with ample detail. A list of all the tools and materials used in the class are provided in a list as well (make sure to go to Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku to get them yourself!)

This class was a highlight of our trip. My 18 yo daughter and 21 yo son also enjoyed the kintsugi experience very much. Class was just the 3 of us, was very well run and we were able to do all steps of the repair process. Our still wet teacups were packaged very well and came home in one piece without shifting out of place.

Reviewed by: Char

We were concerned about doing this….as it is described as “glass etching”. Something we have not done ever in our life, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the process. The instructor took us step by step to explain the technique of glass etching and he was to patient and calm during the whole process. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends and family. It was just steps outside of the Asakusa train Station….so convenient.

Wonderful, memorable experience

Reviewed by: Katie

Toshie Masubuchi was a wealth of knowledge in Kintsugi, as well as being a warm and detailed teacher throughout the lesson. This was my first time engaging in this art form and Toshi was prepared to teach with detailed handouts (in English), thorough verbal descriptions and visual hands-on examples at each step.

She welcomed me into her art space with a hot cup of tea on a cold morning and was patient and helpful during the entire lesson. I will treasure the memories of this class and recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo.

We had a family dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. The waiting area during check-in was warm and had a nice atmosphere. I was grateful that the restroom was very clean.

I even forgot whether I mentioned the birthday when making the reservation, but they surprised us by decorating the dumplings with fireworks to celebrate the birthday, which made me really happy. The staff's service was very attentive, polite, and wonderful. It turned out to be the best birthday dinner. Thank you for an incredibly fun time!!! I definitely want to ride again.

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: 菊千代

You can choose from six different shapes of glasses, ranging from small sake cups to rock glasses, and you can also opt for colored glasses for an additional fee. There were so many pattern samples that it was hard to decide. First, I practiced with a practice glass to get accustomed to the machine and learn how to carve, and then it was time for the real thing. I was so nervous! I was so focused that time flew by, and at the end, I could take a commemorative photo holding the finished glass. The experience alone was enjoyable, but this time I opted for a plan that included a 30-minute lecture beforehand, where I learned about the history of glasswork and what Edo Kiriko is. Having gained some knowledge before creating, I felt more invested in the process. Both the lecture and the experience were taught very thoroughly, and I was extremely satisfied!

模様を入れるグラスは、おちょこからロックグラスまで６種類の形から選ぶことができて、追加代金で色付きのグラスにすることもできます。模様のサンプルもたくさんあり、迷ってしまうぼどでした。まずは練習のグラスで機械に慣れて削り方を学んでから、いざ本番。緊張しましたー！集中していたので時間もあっという間、最後は出来上がったグラスを持って記念撮影できます。体験だけでも十分楽しめますが、今回は体験前に30分の講座付きのプランにして、ガラス細工の歴史や江戸切子とは？を説明してもらいました。多少なりとも知識をつけてから製作したので、気持ちが入りました。講座も体験もとても丁寧に教えてくれ、大満足です！

I used this service to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday.

The staff were very kind and promptly brought us refills for the all-you-can-drink option without us having to wait.

When we boarded the boat, it was rocking quite a bit, and a few people who get motion sickness looked worried. However, once we started moving and eating the food, the rocking settled down, and no one felt unwell. We were able to enjoy ourselves!
