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!

21 21 DESIGN SIGHT

Reviewed By pchamberland - Montreal, Canada

This Ando designed museum has interesting exhibits - the current one is on handcrafts that are done by artisans. The charming park is great for a stroll. The small space next door has an exhibit of bags and fabrics by Issey Miyake. Next to Roppongi mid-town mall which is also worth a visit. 1 days excursion insludes the Mori tower, walk over to the Tokyo Art Museum and the Neze Museum.

Hikawa Shrine

Reviewed By ellenbR4096MW - Hortonville, United States

We attended our daughter's Shinto wedding ceremony at this beautiful shrine last week. It is an oasis in the middle of a crazy busy city. I listened carefully, no sound of the city penetrated the peaceful gardens. The Shinto priests were so incredibly kind and helpful during the ceremony. The shrine staff helped all of us guests throughout the event. Our daughter and son-in-law had helpers for every stage. Two women helped our daughter with her makeup, hair, and getting into the beautiful kimono. I definitely recommend it if you would like a peaceful, serene interlude during your time in Tokyo.

Suntory Museum of Art

Reviewed By himawarisun

At first I was hesitant to give Suntory Museum a try. However, I ended up liking the museum so much that I visited twice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it both times! No pictures are allowed but the exhibits were so beautiful that they left a lasting impression in my memory. Yes, the museum is small and the admission is more expensive. On the plus side, the atmosphere is great--less crowded than the bigger museums, quiet, spacious--and the quality is excellent. I like that the museum has a small collection of high quality items rather than hundreds of items that are not so memorable. The museum store is also a nice place to browse. It has reasonable prices and doesn't feel too touristy. The Suntory Museum is conveniently located in Tokyo Midtown, a high-end shopping mall, which is also a nice place to window shop or grab a bite to eat. It is connected to Roppongi Station as well, so it's easy to get to via public transportation. Tip: You can get a 100yen discount if you show the coupon from their website!
