Get to know about sushi
This sushi experience was awesome especially for me who is a chef😎
via Tripadvisor
Fun sushi making experience!
We had a fantastic time at this sushi-making class! She kicked things off with a fun trivia game about the history of sushi, which immediately set a relaxed and enjoyable tone for the experience. The class was easy to follow, and she made sushi-making feel approachable—even for someone like me who doesn't cook. I'm actually excited to try making sushi at home now! As a bonus, you get to enjoy everything you make at the end, so it doubles as a delicious lunch and saves you the cost of another meal. The only minor challenge was finding the location. Google Maps took us to the wrong building, so I'd recommend asking for detailed directions ahead of time. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience that I'd highly recommend!

Cute simple sushi class
I enjoyed this quick sushi making class. The instructor was very engaging and kind; she made sure that everyone in the class had the support that they needed. It’s in a small, hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant, but everything was set up well. My only feedback is that there weren’t directions on how to find it, only the address which didn’t specify that it was on the 3rd floor. Without instructions or signage, I had to ask for help and then walk up the stairs until I luckily found it.

Great introduction to sushi making in Japan!
We really enjoyed our sushi making class. Our host Shae was very fun and knowledgeable. She spoke English well and gave us good tips for making several fancy versions of sushi that I will try at home. Thanks for the cool short intro class to sushi making!

So nice!
We felt so terrible going in because we were a few minutes late gaffer getting super lost! (Absolutely my fault, I have a terrible sense of direction and it was our first day in Japan!) The employee was so nice. We weee able to get in contact with them and find our way, we actually ran into our intro for on the elevator because she was coming down to rescue us! We were so lucky because we ended up being the only people in our class for that time slot, so we didn’t have anyone else waiting in us. The class was very fun, we got to learn a lot about sushi, and the instructions are so clear I feel our sushi ended up very cute! It was very tasty, and the instructor was very nice and we got to talk a lot being the only people in the class.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class 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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class 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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 187 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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class?
+
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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class 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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class?
+
Around 65 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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class 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, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking 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 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 Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class?
+
Included: Guide: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese; and Snacks. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class?
+
Please use the elevator inside the S-PLAZA弥生Ⅱbuilding to go up to the 3rd floor. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Tokyo Sushi Making Experience & Japanese Cooking Class?
