Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Tokyo. It is run by Sushi Making Japan | Cooking Class in Japan, 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.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers Sushi making experience, Ramen cooking class, All necessary ingredients and instructor. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, 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.

Sushi Making Japan | Cooking Class in Japan 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 Sushi Making Japan | Cooking Class in Japan before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I had a really nice time at the Ramen and Sushi cooking class. The kitchen was beautiful and the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. I joined the class alone, which felt a little strange at first. But in the end, it felt almost like having my own private cooking class. The recipes were very good and easy to follow, so I can also make them at home. I also really enjoyed the nice conversations about food from all around the world. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and I had a great time. I would definitely recommend this cooking class!

Gave the course to my husband as a birthday present and we both loved every minute. The girls who gave the course were absolutely lovely and great instructresses. We learned a lot not just about ramen, sushi and sake but also about Japan customs and lots of useful tipps. The food and drinks were delicious and great quality. We laughed and ate a lot, perfect afternoon! Would absolutely recommend it!

It was an amazing experience! The crew was incredibly patient, friendly, and informative throughout the class. Learning how to make both sushi and shoyu ramen in the same session was a fantastic experience. We shared lots of laughs, and they even had a fun little activity to keep everyone entertained while the ramen broth was cooking. The sake tasting was a lovely bonus, and the location was easy to find and very accessible. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo—it's a fun, memorable, and delicious way to learn about Japanese cuisine!

One of the highlights of our stay in Tokyo. Our instructors were pleasant, informative, and patient. The food we prepared was amazing and we left with recipes to try to recreate at home! Great experience.

We absolutely loved this class! The instructors were so patient and welcoming. They received us timely and also ensured we were safely in our taxi after class. I had never eaten sushi or ramen and to have my first experience include dishes that I helped to prepare will be forever etched in my memory! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! I have already encouraged family members who plan to travel to Tokyo to be sure to take this class.

I had a great time. All of our guides were super friendly, and made the experience very fun. They kept talking to each of us, so that it was more like a hangout with friends while also making Sushi and Ramen. The recipes and instructions were easy to follow, and ended up delicously. The informational part was done in form of quizzes, which made learning about it all the more fun and interacting. I can definitely recommend it, and will consider them for future (cooking) classes as well.

We were lucky to be the only participants, so we had a private course. Risa-san and her colleagues were super friendly and shared a lot of information. Their english level was great and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. The Ramen and Sushi we made were delicious. If you already have a fond know-how of cooking these dishes, the course is maybe not the right one as it is rather tailered for people with no to medium knowledge. We would recommend to do it!

Highly recommend this activity! Learning how to make sushi the traditional way was tricky at first, but after a few tries and excellent instructions by our guide, it became quick and satisfying. Plus the fish was so fresh and we made and ate more sushi than I expected. The ramen was delicious and I like how we worked on the broth, while that simmered we went and did sushi. We received the recipes at the end for both, plus gyoza, which I will definitely be making when I return home. Only being a class of 4 allowed us all to take part in the ramen making. Overall, great experience.

This was such a great class! The sushi and ramen were both delicious. They paired each with sake that was really pleasant. Sato is so enthusiastic and seems to love sharing the food and culture. Highly recommend this activity!

The price does not cover hotel pickup and drop-off. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Dashi, the fish stock, is in almost everything, so vegetarian and vegan need to be named specifically and the host will plan a kombu-based version. Halal-certified restaurants exist in the big cities but are fewer, so say so early.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.

Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
