No matter how many times they returned the statue to the water, it kept coming back to them. That's why Sensoji Temple was built nearby in 645, making it the oldest temple in Tokyo and a Shinto shrine dedicated to Kannon. Throughout the year, the temple grounds host exciting events like the Sanja Matsuri festival in May, the Asakusa Samba Carnival in August, and the traditional Hagoita Market, where decorative paddles are sold for a fun game called hanetsuki.

A fun activity on a rainy evening! We made maki and nigiri, toasted sake, and ate our handmade sushi. Our hosts, Riku and Sora, made the evening fun. Met some nice people, had a few laughs. We whisked our own matcha to finish off the meal. Recommend if you are looking for an indoor activity and a meal.

A Tokyo Trip Highlight for Our Family! 🍣✨
Booking the Sushi Making Tokyo Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class via Klook was completely seamless and easily one of the best highlights of our Tokyo vacation last July!
I booked this for my husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and myself. Seeing our little girl fully immerse herself in the experience touched our hearts—she was focused, hands-on, and so proud of her creations. The instructors were incredibly sweet, professional, and engaging with everyone.
We also loved connecting with other wonderful families from around the world. We learned so much about authentic sushi techniques, and we left with great memories, big smiles, and VERY full bellies!
Highly recommended for families visiting Tokyo. Thank you Klook for making the booking process so smooth and hassle-free!

I had booked this cooking class for my boyfriend and myself and we were with another group. The initial quiz was really fun and I learned quite a lot. The cooking class was fantastic. We were able to make our own temari and maki and add the toppings of our choice. The explanations were clear and the instructor was very kind. I highly recommend this activity.
It was quite complicated to find the entrance but we finally figure it out : they are two S-Plaza buildings. Make sure to go to S-Plaza ll that is located on the right of the Family Mart and take the elevator to the 3rd floor.

So glad I booked this ramen-making experience on the last day of my trip! It was fun, interactive, and the instructor was super friendly. She showed me how to make the broth from scratch and even typed the sauces I needed into my phone so I could go shopping afterwards and make ramen at home. The location was great too, with an amazing view of the Godzilla Head! Definitely recommend!
instructor: my instructor was great and I met the second instructor too and she was friendly.

A food assembly experience accessible to everyone. You won't learn to cook (all ingredients are already cooked: rice, vegetables, fried chicken), but you'll create ladybugs using half a cherry tomato, nori seaweed punched with a hole punch, and Emmental cheese eyes shaped with a cookie cutter. It's all very cute and well-organized, with three dedicated instructors (English only). Explanatory diagrams are provided, along with a mini photo studio, and you can enjoy your masterpiece on-site or take it to go. Our only regret: when booking, you're required to select the same animal for all participants, and we would have liked to vary it.

Such a delightful and hands-on class! Hatsumi-san was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The instructions were easy to follow, and the end result was delicious. A fantastic way to spend learning Japanese culture and food!

It was a great experience! Although the workshop was primarily in Japanese, the teacher and the person who welcomed us made an effort to translate everything into English for us. We learned about the origins of the ingredients used and some essential techniques for the two confections of the moment. It was a wonderful workshop!

Under Kai, the master carpenter, we communicated wonderfully in German, English, and Japanese. After a brief introduction, the family started working. It was a bit slow at first, but help was always available, and they kept an eye on us. We felt well taken care of throughout the sanding process.
Would gladly do it again :)
Tokyo at a glance
Quick facts about Tokyo
General info
What to know before visiting Tokyo
Quick snapshot of Tokyo’s experiences and timing
Tokyo’s busiest Klook categories are observation decks, museums and theme parks, giving the city a mix of skyline views, cultural visits and big-day attractions. Demand on Klook rises and falls through the year, with clear high and low periods that shape how crowded those experiences feel.
Best months to visit for price and crowds
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in February and falls to a trough in August. Prices, however, move differently: Klook’s data indicates the priciest month tends to be August while the cheapest month typically falls in June. That means crowds are lowest in August but prices are at their highest, whereas June often offers lower prices with more moderate demand. If you prefer smaller crowds and peak-season atmosphere, aim for February; if lower prices and quieter booking windows matter more, consider travelling in June.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Australian travellers typically book about two weeks ahead, so plan arrivals and big activities with that lead time in mind—especially during February when demand peaks. Many experiences in Tokyo can still be arranged a few days out, but locking in key observation deck tickets, museum entries or theme-park options around 15 days ahead gives you more certainty. Use Klook to secure those bookings in advance while keeping some flexibility for last-minute additions.
