5.00Hiro was a great guide for this wagashi making experience and the great Buddha of Kamakura! The wagashi making was so fun and informative. We joined a class with locals and Hiro translated the teacher's instructions for us. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful and we ended the class by enjoying one of the wagashi we made with a cup of matcha! We also got to see some of the other beautiful, seasonal wagashi designs. After that we made our way to the great Buddha statue, making a few stops at shops recommended by Hiro. The bronze Buddha was amazing to see especially with a guide to give us additional history. Hiro took pictures for us along the way and recommended a great sushi spot to us for lunch. Kamakura is a beautiful city and this experience was a really great one on our trip. We'll have to visit again to try one of the other seasonal wagashi designs! Thank you, Hiro!
What a nice tour

5.00Hiro is a very kind guide, he’ll explain the tour flow very carefully at the first and I believe this will very helpful for the first attendees. The Wagashi class was a very nice experience, you can make your own DIY dessert and can eat it with nice Japanese tea after your work is finished. At the end, the great Buddha of Kamakura is cool!
It was an amazing experience!

5.00It was an unforgettable experience—thank you so much! It was my first time making traditional Japanese sweets, and I really enjoyed it! The staff and our guide, Hiro, patiently showed us how to make them step by step. The sweets turned out so beautiful, and we got to eat them right away—they were delicious! I also learned a lot about Japanese confectionery culture and the meaning of the seasons in Japan. The Great Buddha in Kamakura was such a peaceful place. We learned about its history and samurai culture, which was really interesting. I was surprised that we could even go inside the Buddha! Seeing the ocean in Kamakura and stopping by some local shops was another fun part of the tour. Our guide was funny and explained things really clearly. I’d love to join again!
I had a great time.Thank you!

5.00The best guide ever! It became a very enjoyable memory. The sweets we made reflected Japan’s seasons, which was exciting. Since the wagashi we make changes with the seasons, I would love to come again.

5.00I recently joined a wagashi-making experience tour, and it was such a fun and amazing experience that I just had to write a review! First of all, the instructor was very kind and gave detailed instructions, which made it easy for beginners to feel comfortable and enjoy the process. We also learned about the history and ingredients of wagashi, which deepened my appreciation for this traditional Japanese confectionery. The actual hands-on experience was incredibly enjoyable. What left the strongest impression on me was learning the delicate "bokashi" technique used in nerikiri. We layered two types of anko (sweet bean paste) with different colors and gently rubbed the top layer with our thumb to create a gradient that represents the ripeness of an apple. It was quite challenging, but thanks to the instructor's helpful tips, the final result turned out more beautiful than I expected. The finished wagashi not only looked beautiful but also tasted amazing. Afterward, we got to enjoy the wagashi we made with a cup of tea while chatting with other participants, which created a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We were even allowed to take home the wagashi we made as a souvenir, which was a lovely bonus. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in making wagashi or learning more about Japanese culture! Since the wagashi menu changes every month, I’m already looking forward to joining again when I have the chance.
The Best Tour in Kamakura!

5.00Hiro is a fantastic guide! He is funny, kind, and very knowledgeable. His humor made the tour both fun and interesting. The wagashi-making experience was special. At first, we were a bit nervous, but the friendly atmosphere of the shop and Hiro’s clear instructions and encouragement helped us make our own delicious sweets! He also took us to hidden spots we wouldn’t have found in guidebooks or online. His deep love for the local area and knowledge of its history made the experience even more special. This tour is fun, easy to join, and a great way to enjoy Japanese culture. We highly recommend it!
A fun and tasty tour！

5.00Hiro was a fantastic guide who introduced me to the culture and history of Wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets in a fun and friendly talks. Also, making Nerikiri was so much fun! I even brought two of them home as souvenirs. Ahter the experience, he took me to a hidden alley in Kamakura, full of fascinating places worth visiting and incredibly photogenic spots. There were only a few people on the streets, but there were so many great spots to see. It was such a wonderful day—it made my Kamakura visit unforgettable! Thank you, Hiro!
