Learn to make delicious mochi
This was an amazing experience, that I highly recommend anyone who likes sweets do in Tokyo. Sakura-san was a great teacher, and I enjoyed the cultural lessons while we made mochi. She even practiced Japanese with me.

Most amazing experience - a must do for anyone interested in mochi
We had a fantastic experience on our first day after arriving in Tokyo. Sakura was so kind and funny. She really took her time showing us how to make (the most delicious) mochi and giving us tips for our trip as well. Even my son who is not really into making food thought the experience was wonderful. Sakura really made us feel at ease in her home and we learnt a lot about Mochi and Japanese culture, as well as coming out with the tastiest mochis ever. Could not recommend more.

Much better than I...
Much better than I expected. Sakura-san was very understanding and helpful, and the process was surprisingly interesting!

Great introduction experience to mochi
Sakura was a great teacher in a very private setting, introducing the history and cultur around matcha and mochi before getting right into making it all ourselves from scratch. Bonus: cute dog too!
via Tripadvisor
Great Fun!
We had an amazing time learning how to make sweets with Sakura san! She is so friendly and it’s great to learn about the Japanese culture behind the different types of sweets as well as how to make them. Her dog Choco is adorable and loves getting pats and cuddles before and after the class (and heads off to bed for a nap during it!). The sweets taste great and Sakura san gives you recipes and information about the ingredients so that you can make them yourself back home. She even kindly gave us some hand warmers as we left on a cold afternoon. A lovely activity to do while you’re in Tokyo!

Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area cost?
+
Prices start at ¥9,000 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 Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area 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 Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 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 Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area?
+
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 Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area 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 Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area?
+
Around 11 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area 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 Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Sushi Making Tokyo Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class. 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.
What is included in Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area?
+

Where is the meeting point for Mochi Matcha Gluten Free Japanese Sweets Class near Shibuya area?
+
