I will explain the essence of my workshop. You can learn how to make wagashi (Japanese sweets) from dough at my private Japanese home. It might be a very rare activity for you to visit a Japanese private home. There are different kinds of wagashi. "Nerikiri,” "Gyuhi," "Manju," an so on. You can learn Japanese sweets depending on the season. That means you can feel the beautiful Japanese season each time. Most of the wagashi are vegan & gluten-free. It is good for your health. Many visitors and my daily class students always have lots of fun making sweets, and they are always looking forward to eating the sweets. You can enjoy double Japanese traditional culture (Wagashi and Matcha) at a private Japanese home. I will introduce myself briefly. I'm Ikuyo, the host of this workshop. I have been learning Japanese tea ceremony for more than 40 years and teaching making Wagashi for 15 years.

    Wonderful lesson.

    We were coached through making cute pumpkins with mochi on the inside and adzuki (red bean paste) on the inside. We ate one there with tea and took the rest away with us. The teacher coached us well and conversed comfortably in English. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the experience very much!

    Wonderful cultural experience!

    Ikuyo sensei is a wonderful teacher! She is very wise and patient of teaching us the art of making traditional Japanese sweets. In addition to making sweets, we learned a great deal of Japanese culture through our conversation with Ikuyo sensei. We can't wait to come back to learn more from her in our next Japan visit!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review . I also enjoyed to make WAGASHI with you. I hope to see you again next your Japan trip. Thank you for joining!!

    Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.

    How much does Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.

    Is Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Let's make Wagashi at private home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Yokohama?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Yokohama?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Yokohama?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
