Full description

This is a 65-minute experience in Kyoto. It is run by B.B.Advisors Inc. AN KYOTO, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Kyoto was Japan's capital for over a thousand years until 1868 and has 17 UNESCO-listed sites among some 2,000 temples and shrines. The big three are Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, covered in gold leaf and best in morning light; Kiyomizu-dera, the wooden stage on the eastern hills with the Higashiyama lanes of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka below it; and Fushimi Inari's gates. Nijo Castle has the nightingale floors that squeak against intruders, and Ryoan-ji the rock garden. Temples open around 8:00 or 9:00 and close at 17:00, and the city bus is slow; a day with a driver or a guide who orders the stops against the crowds is the difference between four sights and seven.

The price covers A set for making Nerikiri. It does not cover Sweets take-out box: 100 JPY, Experience completion certificate: 300 JPY and Tatedashi Matcha: 500 JPY, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

B.B.Advisors Inc. AN KYOTO sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with B.B.Advisors Inc. AN KYOTO before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Il faut attendre soit en bas des escalier soit dans le porche du batiment. L'activité est sympa en soit. En fait c'est un cours en salle de classe. On peut être maximum 24 mais on était environ 18. Le chef est au tableau et montre ce qu'il faut faire, à toi de le recopier car il ne pourra pas vraiment venir t'aider ou te conseiller directement. De plus il parle assez peu anglais, simplement le minimum pour que tu puisses suivre. De plus, on ne cuisine pas, quand on arrive, on a déjà les 2 boules (faites de haricot rouge et l'autre de haricot blanc avec de la poudre de riz gluant de ce que j'ai

L’insegnante è stata molto gentile e disponibile, ma non parlava inglese e non si avvicinava ai tavoli per mostrare i dettagli ed i particolari. Non abbiamo idea di come ricreare l’impasto dei materiali utilizzati. Tutto sommato è na buona idea per passare un’oretta in relax con una bimba di 10-12 anni.

Making the Nerikiri was a fun activity and I believe it's accessible to people of most ages and skill levels :). The best part is that you get to eat what you make!! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a short workshop to do in Kyoto :).

learned about the ingredients, watched them do each step, then we made it ourselves, the class was mixed Japanese/tourists but they spoke English and we could understand everything that we needed to do.

This was a great experience. I have a new appreciation for the artistry of the people who create the ones see in the stores.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
