Most people think of Ikebana as merely a Japanese style of arranging flowers. But Ikebana is much more than that. We conduct 3 Ikebana Experience Courses for tourists, and we have already welcomed beautiful guests from all over the world, more than 50 countries. All experiences are held in English. Especially the unique course held in a traditional hotel is famous. If you do speak Japanese, you can join our regular class. Please look at the Instagram of our leader Mika Otani ( Ikebana artist).

It takes a pretty remarkable experience for me to take to my keyboard, but this class definitely qualifies. Ayuko is the most delightful host, and her Sushi Class was among one of the best cooking lessons I have taken. My partner is a professional chef, and he too had many takeaways from our lesson. From the moment we met Ayuko at Yushima station we knew were in good hands. I honestly can not recommend this experience enough. If you are in Tokyo, and are curious to learn more about sushi, this class should be on your must-do list.

A large, traditional Japanese landscape garden with lots of paths for walking & viewing the garden from different angles. A large pond in the middle is dotted with islands, while paths wind around the island, up and down hills, through trees, over bridges - all creating the illusion of the garden being far bigger than it is. I visited in the mid-afternoon on a sunny day when the large weeping cherry tree was in bloom - it was gorgeous! The garden was surprisingly not very busy. I imagine that if you came early in the morning it would be really quiet.

This is one of Tokyo's many gardens, and rated as one of the best. Indeed it deserves the accolade. Though small and compact, the gardens has enough foliage to mesmerise, especially during the fall when the leaves are in varying stages of turning their colours. To any photographers out there, this is a paradise for you. The entrance fee of 300 yen is well worth the images you bring out.

Chinzanso was quite nice, though past peak when we visited in early December. It is quite wonderful that the hotel opens up such a lovely place for free for visitors who are not guests of the hotel. We dressed up for our visit, since the hotel has such a posh clientele. (We were dismayed by, and a bit embarrassed for, the really sloppily dressed and loud folks who arrived with a tour group no less!) The garden is a wedding venue. We saw at least 3 weddings and a few wedding photo shoots - a stunningly dressed bride placed perfectly with the pond or red trees as a background. We had to be careful as we walked around the pond taking care that we didn’t end up in one of the wedding photos. The weddings themselves produced among other things distant photo ops of family groups, brides having rose petals thrown at them, and women dressed in elegant kimonos In addition to the pond, there are lots of things to see - momiji, of course, an ancient and sacred tree, stone lanterns and statues, a pagoda and more. Each path brings different landscape views in this lovely stroll garden. There were even signs in Japanese and English describing some of the statues, buildings and trees Definitely worth a visit.

A fun way to spend the day in Tokyo for both adults and children. Full of great shops and eateries as well as rollercoaster rides and live entertainment shows for children.

Easily accessible by train. This complex is a great activity for older kids and teenagers. Wouldn't recommend if raining as the rides and surrounds are outdoors and there is some walking around required. No crowds during the week. We purchased the All Day pass for the kids as it was very reasonably priced and they had access to all the rides. Very safe area for families. Good range of food outlets.

I went very early in the morning and it was wonderful. Only about 3 people were there at the time and it was a great experience. From the Tori lined paths to the koi pond, it was everything that you would expect from a well-known temple like this.
9. Koishikawa Botanical Garden

Reviewed By davidmR4183QL - Vero Beach, United States
This is a real botanical garden, displaying a lot of plant species from around the world, but also featuring a lot of Japan, with a generous collection of flowering cherries, relaxed Japanese gardens, and some very impressive untrimmed crape myrtles. A new conservatory, almost certainly for display, is under construction. The garden is not close to a subway or rail station, so requires some walking or other transportation. The entrance isn't on a main street, so some kind of map is advisable. In the vicinity of the gate, the garden's wall is distinctive and so are the trees, so there's no mistaking that you are approaching. Main paths are easily navigated, but a substantial hill slope means that some routes are pretty much restricted to people who can walk; wheel chairs might be dubious. The garden has plenty of space for children to romp.

Great venue for the quilt show. Easy to get to from the Tokyo Dome Hotel, very near a metro station. Lots of seating and food choices around the stands. Security was very good and quick at the entry to the venue. ATM on-site could dispense cash to international visitors.
