It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I enjoyed the entire process of making so-called Sanuki udon, which is quite a popular local noodle in Shikoku island. The staffers were so friendly and kind that I could stay at Udon house comfortably. Also, udon house where the udon-class takes place is a Japanese traditional style house where you can experience a Japanese country life. If you get bored of traveling around major cities such as Tokyo, you must come to experience the udon-making class! It will never disappoint you!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
