100% relaxing and fun! - This was the best activity we signed up for on this trip to Japan. Our hosts were extremely welcome, nice, friendly and helpful. We chose the ginger pork menu and we loved it. If we have kid(s), we would def have chosen the bento box option. The kimono session was super fun and informative as well. If you are deciding whether to book or not, go for it, you will love it. Thank you Naoko-san and Hisako-san for a wonderful time - from A & K, New York City!

Just magical and humbling experience - One of the most wonderful and humbling experiences: cooking Japanese food, savoring tea, and wearing kimonos.
