We offer Japanese home-style cooking lesson ONLINE via zoom now. You are able to learn authentic Japanese dishes at your own kitchen from a professional teacher. Ingredients, cooking utensils to be used during the lesson will be noticed beforehand.
My 2 teenage daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Tomoko on a rainy Tokyo day. From the time Tomoko met us at our hotel lobby to when she bade us farewell with a surprise little gift, we are grateful to her for opening up her lovely home and sharing her cooking knowledge and insights into Japanese culture. There are many menus to choose from on the website. We chose the gyoza and ramen menu. We ended up to be the only students on the day - what a treat! My 2 teenage girls loved learning how to wrap the gyoza. Tomoko is so warm and friendly. We felt like we were a guest in her house rather than at a commercial cooking school. I have been to many cooking classes around the world and this would rank very highly as a personal intimate experience to learn about Japanese home style cooking. Thank you Tomoko and I hope our paths cross again!

A family-dojo with a history of 400+ years offers you real hands-on experiences. In 1582, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Ieyasu was fleeing from Kyoto through Iga, and one of our ancestors escorted him together with the famous Hattori Hanzo, to Ise. This historical incident is called "Iga-goe" or Iga Crossing. Ieyasu, impressed by the Iga ninjas that he hired them to work for the government. Our ancestors served the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. They were called "shinobi-samurai". In our Shinobi-Samurai Honjin dojo, you're learning directly from masters of the art with a long lineage and history . This is one of the authentic experiences, from the actual techniques to reasons behind them. Our interpreters are also our clan members who know our arts well. The basics we introduce does not require martial art skills. No rolling or striking is necessary. Want to have more than just having fun? We welcome you.
I have always been very into martial arts and being in Tokyo I couldn’t help but looking for an experience in the ninja art. Since I have done this a couple of times I was aware that it would be a very touristic attraction and I wouldn’t get to learn that much, but I wanted to do it anyway. What a surprise! They give you a very nice lesson about the art and make you experience the real art. The interpreter Kaoyu is very nice and speaks English very well - she helped us understanding everything the instructor was explaining to us. He also was very experienced and managed to teach us the techniques even with the language barrier. You also get to test a couple of weapons after a brief explanation of them and they will test you! Walked in waiting for a tourist trap and left the place with a great understanding of the art and life as well! Highly recommend!

Best Living Japan offers cooking, crafting and lifestyle classes in English for global families living and visiting Japan. The studio is also available for parties and corporate events.
I have been meaning to do one of these classes since last year and I finally did myself a favor and booked 2 classes (one class one weekend). Result? I absolutely love it! The ikkanbari class for me was therapeutic, it was easy to follow directions, the materials was well organized & well prepared. The instructors were personable, friendly and welcoming. It was just a great experience to create something so beautiful afterwards. As for the indigo dying class, i too was very pleased with the outcome. Once again the studio was well prepared and organized. The fabric provided was generous and so was the indigo dye. I loved the background information behind it and the short scientific aspect too. There was coffee & some treats for everyone, although I was so immersed in my crafting I barely had time to get coffee. It was very thoughtful though. I would highly recommend BLJ to anyone visiting or even to expats that are looking for something to make & do & take home something beautiful in the end. Thank you to the staff for such a fun craft. I'll be back again soon :)

Class is offered in English and Japanese. If you would like a lesson at another time, please contact me. I am happy to oblige and am flexible.
I attended Tomoko's lass with my daughter. It was very difficult to find a genuine class that would introduce sumi-e to us. Once in the class I discovered this was because the art together with other traditional Japanese arts are becoming less popular and teachers are harder to find. We had a wonderfully reflective, informative and creative time understanding the history of sumi-e, the techniques involved and the philosophy behind the art. Although we strove to achieve beauty, at the end of the session it didn't matter if our work was not "perfect" because Tomoko made us feel complete regardless of what it looked like. Tomoko was informative, enthusiastic and supportive thoughout the process. I would recommend the Rimpa Sumie Club to anyone who really wants to experience the art of sumie.

This is a great garden which is part of a hotel property and has all the traditional Japanese Garden features we were expecting from the little temple, a chapel where several couples were getting married, nice walkways, koi fish, sitting areas, a mini bamboo forest and lots of beautiful flowers and trees including bonsai trees. We would definitely recommend stopping to see this. It is near several other attractions if you are just wondering around so be on the lookout for it while walking around and using the pocket Wi-Fi that is highly recommended by all to help get around.
