Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Nagoya. It is run by Japanese Cooking Class / NAGOYA, 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.

The day trips out of Osaka each have one reason. Himeji has Japan's finest surviving castle, the White Heron, an original of 1609 with six floors of wooden interior, its plaster re-whitened in a restoration completed in 2015; the climb to the top keep is steep and the queue at cherry-blossom time is long. Kobe has the beef, sold by grade at counters where you watch it cooked, and the harbour. Koyasan, two hours south, is the mountain monastery town founded by Kukai in 816, where 117 temples sit in a cedar forest and Okunoin cemetery is the largest in Japan; a night in a shukubo temple lodging with vegetarian shojin ryori is the reason to go.

The price covers Cooking Class Experience, Ingredients used, Cooking utensils, Aprons and Tasting time. It does not cover Transportation to the venue, 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.

Japanese Cooking Class / NAGOYA 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 Japanese Cooking Class / NAGOYA before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Super expérience avec deux super femmes ! Quel moment de partage. Les takoyakis que nous avons fait ensemble étaient les meilleurs que je n’ai jamais mangé. Moment pouvant se partager en anglais, merci encore pour cette expérience unique. Foncez et régalez-vous bien. Océane et Brice

Late March to early April for cherry blossom at Nagoya Castle, or mid-to-late November for autumn colour at Korankei Gorge. Summer (July-August) is hot and humid, often mid-30s°C. Full breakdown in our best time to visit Nagoya guide.
The original 1612 castle was destroyed in 1945 bombing raids; the current keep was rebuilt in 1959 in concrete, though the Honmaru Palace was faithfully reconstructed in traditional wood, finishing in 2018. Full history in our Nagoya Castle guide.
The subway (6 lines, from ¥210) covers almost everything, and the Me-guru sightseeing bus loops between the castle, museums and Atsuta Shrine. See getting around Nagoya.
Hitsumabushi (grilled eel, eaten three ways), tebasaki (twice-fried chicken wings, a Nagoya invention), and miso katsu — all built around haccho miso, a dark fermented red miso. See the Nagoya food guide.
Inuyama Castle (~30 min, one of Japan's 12 original wooden keeps) is the closest; Tokoname pottery town and the Magome-juku to Tsumago-juku Nakasendo walk are also easy half-days. Honest rankings in our Nagoya day trips guide.
Two days works well: one for the city (castle, Osu, Sakae), one for a day trip. Our Nagoya 2-day itinerary breaks it down hour by hour.
