My name is Yoko, the lecturer of HIDA COKING CLASS. I have been living in Hida & Takayama area for most of my life, making local food for my family. As I like cooking and am passionate about speaking in English and socializing with people from abroad, I have started this class. My concept is "Learn local food from local at local's house." Hope we will enjoy the class together!!

I've taken cooking classes before but thought this was one of the best I've experienced. It was fun, action-packed, fast and, finally, delicious when we sat down to eat it. The whole group seemed to really enjoy it. Our instructor and helpers were delightful and fun themselves. Highly recommended.

Traditional Japanese Cooking Experience & Morning Market Tour
Reviewed By roogirl71 - Melbourne, Australia
My husband and I spent the afternoon with Akane and Midori. Akane took us to a local sake brewery where we were fortunate to be able to take a tour. Akane told us a lot about the town and its history before we returned to the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal, including miso soup, gyoza, sweet potato and sushi rolls. We ate in a lovely dining room at the rear of the kitchen. We would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Takayama.

Exceptional performance of traditional culture by a group of young and talented artists. Takayama certainly is worth visiting but an evening should be spent in this theater . An energetic and harmonious drummers show accompanied by flutes and the shamisen is the base of the Ryoumen Sukuna hero legend. Fantastic experience!
