Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Our company Takafuji Dance Company started from Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture. We started to provide a few of these services because we have a vision to have this traditional culture being continued like Kabuki which has a history of 400 years, and also have it being experienced by others. We own a facility called 「Cool Japan experience」in Asakusa which is the platform for Japanese Cultural Experience produced by Japan Creative Dance Takafuji. Our theme is 「Dream Experience」, where we hope one gets to experience a dream of their lifetime at our place. We have other Japanese cultural experiences that one can enjoys freely at our Tokyo Bon in Asakusa.

Traditional Japanese dyeing and weaving experiences and products. Handkerchief, Japanese towel, Stoles, Bags, Shirts, Sweats,etc.
We recently spent 2 weeks in Japan - some time skiing in Nozawa Onsen, and then 3 days in Tokyo at the end of our trip. It was my third visit to Tokyo and I had always wanted to learn a bit more about shibori and dyeing. Spending some time at the Wanariya studio, learning about indigo and airzone dyeing, and then having some hands on experience was amazing. It takes about 90 minutes all up so not an all day activity. You choose what you would like to dye, learn about the techniques and then get hands on. You have to e mail and book a time beforehand - no problem doing this in English. The dyeing is apparently run at both the studio and the shop (2 different locations) - we went to the studio which was a 15 minute walk from a subway stop. They sent us clear instructions and suggested getting a taxi from the station but it's an easy walk and with google maps it is hard to get lost these days. The dyeing and merchandise is not expensive and our group of three was delighted with our respective treasures.

My husband, young adult daughter, her friend and I shared a sushi making class on New Year’s Eve in the Asakusa area of Tokyo. The owners are warm, quick witted and deeply knowledgeable about the history and art of sushi making. We learned by doing, using fresh ingredients of excellent quality, and then enjoyed our handiwork with hot sake. It was a first class, fun experience. The owners earn the rave reviews they get.

A fun afternoon for learning Japanese calligraphy that was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo. Gained an appreciation of the discipline and artistry required. Wakana is terrific instructor and patiently corrects mistakes (even if like me you repeat the same ones). We combined with the Udon cooking class which was delicious

Japanese home cooking class for travelers in Asakusa Tokyo Japan.From2,000YEN(2hours)per person. Our aim is to offer overseas visitors the chance to experience the Japanese lifestyle while enjoying preparing and cooking themselves…and eating the results!
Matsu was a very kind, generous, and warm host and instructor. He taught us several dishes, all of which were simple to make and delicious: oyakodon (chicken egg over rice), miso soup, tamagoyaki (really fun to cook!), and a cucumber shiso pickled salad (my favorite -- super simple and something I'd never had before). After cooking together, we shared the lunch with Matsu and his daughter. I mentioned to Matsu I was in the market to purchase a Japanese handmade chef knife, and he was so kind as to take us to his favorite shops in the nearby Kappabashi cookware district. Thank you Matsu, we really appreciate it and had lots of fun!
