This place is excellent. Our guide Ryu was super helpful and friendly. We got 12 pieces of sushi to eat and 6 different kinds. It was very fun to make it all and super yummy. Cannot recommend enough!

Friendliest restaurant in town! Great sushi learning experience!
Mami and Mimi (I hope I spelled those right) were so sweet. We did a sushi making class and Mami was very patient with our group participant that had limited finger control. Mimi gave quick and cheerful service. The fish was fresh and I learned about the “sushi dimple”. They opened recently (2026), so it was a little harder to find, but they are 100% worth checking out!!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kyoto.
How much does Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】 cost?
+
Prices start at $9900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kyoto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】 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 Kyoto is not rushed.
Is Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kyoto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】?
+
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 Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】?
+
Around 26 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 Kyoto 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 Kyoto and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Popular Sushi Making Class in Kyoto【Grand Opening】 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 Kyoto 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 Kyoto?
+
On Outty we rank every Kyoto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kyoto : Gion Make Your Own Chopsticks with Engraving Option, Award-Winning Authentic Ramen Making Experience in Kyoto, Hidden Kyoto E-Biking 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 Kyoto?
+
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 Kyoto?
+
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.
