We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with the delightful Yurico, who taught us to make delicious okonomiyaki from scratch. Her class is suitable for both beginners and also those with experience cooking. She explained each step very clearly and made the whole experience very worthwhile, and with her guidance our finished products came out perfectly. It was also nice to see the more residential area of Tokyo where she lives, after having already explored the city's main sites. We would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone.

We stumbled upon this fantastic museum by accident as we were heading back to the Metro after visiting a nearby Sumo stable, Oguruma-beya. The entry price is only 400 yen, it's worth every penny. Inside they have re-created an Edo (old Tokyo) town, the attention to detail is magnificent. There are several English speaking guides who are all too happy to show you around (no charge) and I'd recommend this; you'll see all the small details you would miss on your own, plus learn a lot of history. Special thanks to our wonderful guide Nagano Higachi; you are very special lady and we enjoyed our time with you very much x

A massive display of current Toyota cars, with different exhibits which will keep visitors of all age engaged and entertained. My 12 year old son really enjoyed the driving school which he gets to drive an electric car on an indoor lap. There were different levels and courses available. They also has a high speed e-Kart driving course but participants must be able to converse in Japanese to participate. They also offer test drives on their 1.3 km enclosed course but you must have both your International Driver license and DL from home country to partake on this. They also have a collection of vintage vehicles, including some Toyota and their rally cars back in the late 80's / early 90's in a separate building which you had to go through a connecting shopping mall to get to, which took a bit of time to find as there was no clear English signs. Overall, this is a must-do for any car enthusiast and excellent way to spend a morning or afternoon on a rainy day!

Located in Miraikan, 2 Chome-3-6 Aomi, Koto City, Tokyo, Japan on what appears to be reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay is this amazing museum and research centre covering 7 levels of working and static displays of technology and innovation. Entering on level 6 the first thing one sees is a real rocket engine (with the bonnet off), three generations of super high frequency receivers, a massive photo multiplier arrangement (you can walk through it) studying Neutrinos (A neutrino is a subatomic particle that is very similar to an electron, but has no electrical charge and a very small mass). There is a model of a bathyscape like submarine and a full size model of the Space station that you can walk through and see all the amenities within.. Further down the hall is a large earth sphere with thousands of little TV screens; the view is what the space station “sees” in real time and it changes as the space station circles the earth. There is a circular walkway around the earth sphere so you can “simulate” yourself as being the space station. On another floor there are the robotics displays; from a human robot (a fully clothed one disguised as a Geisha) to little autonomous single person ride-on vehicles. Another area has a medical operating theatre with remote mechanical arms and a TV screen showing the efforts being made. The kids have a great time trying to break the (artificial) vein in the grip of the robotic pliers. One of the most significant finds is actually outside the museum; it is a Cosmic Yakusugi cedar tree, one of five to survive from 2000 seeds germinated on the space station by a Japanese astronaut and donated to the museum. One thing to remember; when purchasing entry tickets, they cover only the permanent exhibition. There was a special exhibition on Woolly Mammoths which required a separate ticket, so if you go, remember to ask if there are any other tickets required for special exhibitions.

The 3rd floor math museum/hall was great. Wonderful tech and we stayed here all morning. Kids enjoyed it, as did I! Worth the admission price - gives you a taste of future tech that could be used to teach math and science. 2nd floor had a Nintendo demo hall where kids could play for 10 minutes at a time and some free exhibits. All were great. We actually thought this was much better than the other science museums in Tokyo. Went on a weekday morning and it was pretty empty. 1st floor under renovation for exhibits related to the Olympics, but those looked inspiring as well.
