麻糬 美食体验(15)

Teruyuki is a wonderful host! This tour was our favorite part of our japan trip. Ayabe is a much needed reprieve from the bustle of Kyoto and Tokyo, and we enjoyed learning about the art of washi paper and then making our own! Pounding mochi was so much fun too, and we got a wonderful lunch which catered to our dietary restrictions! I am recommending this tour to my friends visiting Japan!

We really enjoyed making the sweets and we learned a lot! The class was good for all levels of experience and the sweets were delicious!!!

After watching countless byFood videos on YouTube, we decided to book the tour with Shizuka — and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The tour offered the perfect blend of fascinating information about Harajuku, fun activities, and a wonderful variety of delicious foods. Shizuka’s open, cheerful, and irresistibly positive personality made the entire experience unforgettable, and the time just flew by. For anyone who has the chance to join Shizuka on this tour, it’s an absolute must-do — it will definitely be the highlight of your Tokyo trip. Thank you so much for the amazing tour, Shizuka!

We had a fantastic night with Bruce. He is so knowledgeable and friendly. It was just my son and I so we had undivided attention and tried a wide range of dishes we wouldn’t normally consider and they were delicious! Cannot recommend this highly enough!

I was always interested with doing some sort of tour in Japan but could never figure out which one to go on. The moment I found out Shizuka was hosting the Harajuku tour I immediately knew that if there was any Japan tour for me to go on that this would definitely be the one. That instinct did not steer me wrong because this was absolutely one of the most memorable moments of all my trips to Japan! Shizuka is just as kind, bubbly and endearing in all of the videos she is in, maybe even more so! I have to admit that I was nervous meeting her but her genuine personality makes everyone feel so comfortable to the point where it feels like we’ve known her forever. She is also amazing with children. There were two in our group and she engaged with them in the most cool auntie way! Shizuka really made this tour so much fun and very informative with her knowledge of Japan history. She is just so much fun to be around and If she’s still doing tours by the next time I plan a trip back to Japan you can definitely count me in! I really had thee most amazing time. This will be a memory I will cherish and hold dear in my heart forever. Arigato gozaimashita Shizuka!!
