Tea Ceremony and Japanese Sweets Making Class was such a memorable experience. The class began with making traditional Japanese sweets (nerikiri) using authentic ingredients like white and red bean paste sourced from Kyoto’s long-established shops. Afterwards, we moved on to the tea ceremony. The instructors Sasaki-san were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, explaining the history behind each ingredient, movement, utensil, and gesture.
The entire experience felt immersive and genuine. I left not only with beautiful sweets and matcha, but also with a deeper appreciation for Japanese tradition and hospitality.

experience:
Must do for anyone who comes to Sendai! A great experience to make your own seasonal wagashi! The teacher is really friendly and gives really clear instructions so it's easy to follow along. The ingredients are really high quality so the sweets taste really delicious.
location:
The whole session is about 1 hour. Also the workshop is on the 7th floor of the building so you need to take the elevator just inside
I did it solo but it would also be fun in a group!

A rail pass allows you to travel throughout the regions of Japan. You can reserve your seat in advance before your travel date, allowing you to travel according to your plan. It's easy to redeem, delivered to your home, and you can exchange the exchange order at the airport immediately. It's convenient, fast, and problem-free.

JR pass is very convenient and very reliable. You can travel unlimited on all JR trains including Shinkansen. This is a must-have especially to someone like me with difficulty in following cardinal directions. In case you went to a wrong platform, just go until you find the correct platform. You don't need to worry on buying another ticket.

I bought this 6-day Tohoku-South Hokkaido Rail Pass to explore Hokkaido, and it paid for itself with just the round trip from Tokyo to Hakodate, so it's very useful. However, be aware that this pass offers different benefits compared to the 5-day JR East Pass; this 6-day pass doesn't include JR buses. As a result, we had to pay extra for the highway buses from Morioka to Miyako and from Kuji to Ninohe, which wasn't cheap.

The bus tour to Zao Fox Village and Ginzan Onsen was such a fun day. The foxes were super cute, and Ginzan Onsen visit was a bit fast but understandable given the traffic on the way home.

This was my first time joining a Klook tour alone, and I had a very good experience. The itinerary was well-paced with ample time. You can see many cute foxes at the Fox Village. Although the smell is a bit strong, they are still adorable. You can also buy feed to feed them at your own expense. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the timing to participate in the fox-holding session. Ginzan Onsen is quaint and charming. The autumn foliage and waterfall scenery were stunning. The tour guide, Ms. Cheng, was very enthusiastic and introduced the background culture/popular souvenirs, etc., of Sendai City and the attractions we visited. The tour bus was also very comfortable, and the itinerary was well-arranged. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

Our group of 4 joined this tour, and unexpectedly, a 7-seater vehicle was arranged for the 4 of us, making the entire trip feel like a private charter. The tour guide was excellent, giving us plenty of time to explore. Great value for the price.

We participated on October 20th with a group of 7 people. Our tour guide was Ms. Wei, and we had a very new mid-sized bus. Our driver, Mr. Iwabuchi from Japan, was a very professional driver.
In the morning, we took the Zao Ropeway, and in the afternoon, we went to Ginzan Onsen. There were scheduled restroom breaks along the way. Due to time constraints, lunch was changed to the Yamagata Prefectural Tourist Center, which was clearly explained in advance via e-mail, which was great. Also, Ms. Wei helped everyone order during lunch, providing excellent service. It was a wonderful day trip, and my family was very satisfied.
