Beautiful and zen-like experience - A lovely experience filled with old world Japanese transformation and tradition. I was dressed in a beautiful kimono of my choice with my hair styled up and decorated with a flower. My sons looked so handsome in theirs. Making sweets was very relaxing and fun. The tea ceremony was educational and created a zen like atmosphere. Beautiful pictures in a rooftop garden area completed the experience. The dressing ladies and ceremony guides were patient, friendly and attentive. This is a must do activity.

A must do in Tojyo - Fantastic experience. So glad we booked the sweet making and tea ceremony. It was over 2 hours of captivating fun. Dressing up in kimonos was a definite highlight. All the staff were so friendly and spoke great English and contributed to the overall enjoyment factor. The venue location was central and authentic in nature. Booked on the spur of the moment 2 days ago. Can’t believe our luck! Highly recommend doing this.

Great experience! - We enjoyed dressing up in kimonos and taking pictures in the beautiful outside garden. We learned about different Japanese sweets and how to make our own wagashi. We sampled the sweets at the tea ceremony. The instructor performed a traditional ceremony.
My husband left his wallet in the studio and we didn't realize it until we went to the subway station. A very stressful experience running back to the class and trying to telephone them, but they stayed open (beyond their normal working hours after 7 p.m.) waiting for us to pick it up.

Best activity in Tokyo - Best event we experienced on our trip to Japan. Staff were kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. We learned so much about Japanese culture and practices. Wearing kimonos, preparing sweet treats and tea were not just activities to do but reflected time honoured traditions that were treated with reverence and respect. We cannot speak highly enough about this experience. A must activity in Tokyo!

Cancelled without any reason. - The tour company canceled less than 24 hours without any explanation and still charged my card more than the full price.Very disappointing and frustrating.I do not recommend this company at all.
