About this experience

In this cooking class, you can experience Japanese people's normal life in the local area of Japan and also feel the traditional atmosphere by visiting a local shrine in a solemn forest. I can be flexible with the menu, but recommend you to choose either Sushi and Tempura Course or Bento Lunch Box Course. Matcha Green Tea experience is included in any course. Vegan menu is also available. This is exclusively private activity.

Meeting point

If you want to drive directly to my house, just let me know in advance and I can give you a detailed instruction to my house. The road to my house is narrow, so if you are not really used to driving on narrow streets, it's better to come in my car. If you use public transportation while traveling, I can go to Miyazaki station to pick you up.
