We had an amazing time on our tour with Moka! It was nice to see so many sites in one day without any of the hassle. Moka was super friendly and eager to give us an amazing day! She was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of historical facts during our tour of Nagoya castle. Moka speaks great English and helped explain many customs of Japan. As a bonus, it was nice to get familiar with the public transportation system with someone to help :) We highly recommend doing Moka's tours!

My 2 friends and I went on the beginners Spring Tour 2019 for our first trip to Japan. We loved it and can't wait to go back! Becky and Shawn are awesome. They were so down to earth, helpful and very knowledgeable. I also really liked that the tour group is small. It allows you to get to know your fellow group members and ensures personal attention from your guides. We saw so many large tour groups at tour sites and they looked a little chaotic, it made me happy we chose a small group. The accommodations were always clean and comfortable and located perfectly. Food was amazing!!! If you are willing to try new things you can have an amazing gourmet experience. The events and locations that Becky and Shawn chose were top notch and we got to experience all different modes of transportation while there.

I had a lovely time chatting about Japanese culture and learning origami. I made a cute little silver metal samurai hat, a washi paper crane, a ninja star (shiriken) and a boat. It was really interesting to hear the back stories to each piece.

The airport limousine service to Shinjuku area was excellent. The service was punctual and reliable. The bus was very new and seats were very comfortable too. Bus temperature was just right. It is more convenient than Narita Express to me. Highly recommend!

10. Learn to Prepare Authentic Nagoya Cuisine With a Local in Her Home

Nagoya, Aichi, Japan Traveling Spoon

Join your host Akiko in her kitchen to make classic Nagoya dishes such as red miso stew and shrimp tempura in a rice ball or fried chicken, Nagoya style. You will also learn how to make dashi stock from scratch for the miso stew. Your cooking class will last about an hour before you sit down to share the Nagoyan style Japanese meal you helped prepare. Akiko is thrilled about the opportunity to share specialties from Nagoya as a lot of people don’t know how to cook Nagoya-style food. Because of this, many Nagoyans themselves eat their local specialities at restaurants. If you have specific food preferences such as Halal or Vegan, please let Akiko know when making your reservation!

Inclusions: Private cooking class + meal with your host Akiko, Beverages, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Gratuities, Lunch, Dinner

Exclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off

Akiko was a very warm and considerate hostess. Her love of cooking, Japanese culture, and visitors is apparent. We learned many things about Japanese ingredients, food, and cooking that we can take home to share! The meal was delicious and unique to her region. This experience was one of the highlights of l our trip to Japan! You always have a place to stay in our home in Oregon. Thank you Akiko and Meg!
