Peaceful, serene and fun soba making experience! - We made our own soba in a small temple with Hiro, who was an amazing teacher! One of my favorite activities on our trip! We essentially had a private lesson with Hiro and it was so much fun - he took a bunch of pictures of us and airdropped them to me at the end. The soba we made was delicious! Thank you!

Great course - Super friendly. Had a great course and could do everything themselves with a great instruction. At the end there was a tasting of the homemade soba. Thank you was great

Amazing experience - Absolutely loved this experience for my family. It was so tranquil set in the temple which we had all to ourselves & our fantastic guide. The noodle making was really good fun & they tasted amazing we got to eat them after at the Japanese style table. Fully recommend this for anyone looking for something special & traditional 😊

Enjoyable experience for families / couples - Attended Hiro's soba making class with my partner and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The class was conducted in a beautiful traditional Japanese house that was recently refurbished, making it really comfortable. The class itself was interactive and enjoyable, and the teacher, Hiro, was experienced, patient and friendly! After eating the soba we made, Hiro also taught us some basic calligraphy and we used it to make a meaningful souvenir! Would definitely recommend!
