Cooking class
Meet at the cooking studio for tea, take a hands-on cooking lesson, enjoy the prepared lunch in a traditional Japanese room overlooking a garden, then walk to a nearby supermarket with the instructor for a 30-minute tour to locate the ingredients and seasonings used during the lesson.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the 09:30 start to remove shoes and settle in; the studio is a traditional house where shoes are left at the entrance.
- Notify the operator in advance of any food allergies or dietary restrictions so recipes and ingredients can be adjusted before the lesson.
- The location and studio are not wheelchair- or stroller-accessible and involve a short walk (approx. 10–15 minutes round trip) to the local supermarket; plan accordingly.
