Great and fun time!

I had a lot of fun with Tanaka. I ended up with a one on one and got to make an extra piece. The instructions were clear and Tanaka was very encouraging. The sculpting is similar to what I would so for clay. Thank you Tanaka!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I’m glad you had fun and enjoyed making the extra piece. It was a pleasure to teach you, and I hope you visit again. Great job with your sculpting!

Enjoyable activity

This was a super fun experience! I would highly recommend if you want to try something more cultural. You don't often get to learn new skills, and I this activity was really beginner friendly. Would recommend to do with friends and family. I would like to also add, we were super late, but Tanaka was super understanding about it. She is overall a great instructor and friendly host. Thank you again!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the experience and felt welcome. It was a pleasure to have you join, and I hope to see you again soon!

Great activity for kids!

The instructor was very patient with the kids (6 & 8) and everything came out so cute! We made 3 different designs - owl, hedgehog, and closed umbrella.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. I’m glad you and the children enjoyed making the owl, hedgehog, and umbrella designs. It was a pleasure to teach them!

I was very satisfied because I could make Japanese sweets and drink authentic matcha tea.

I have never had the experience of making Japanese sweets before. I was satisfied because I was able to ask in advance what I wanted to make. Furthermore, you can drink authentic matcha green tea afterwards, so it's a great value for money.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed making Japanese sweets and tasting authentic matcha. I look forward to seeing you again!

Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in Tokyo: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in Tokyo cost?

+

Prices start at $10000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in Tokyo take?

+

Plan for about 1.5 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 Tokyo is not rushed.

Is Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in Tokyo worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in 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 Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in Tokyo suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in Tokyo?

+

Around 7 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Making Japanese desserts Nerikiri & drinking matcha in 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo?

+

Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. 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 Tokyo?

+

Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. 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 Tokyo?

+

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.
