Osaka Cultural experiences

WOW. From start to finish the crew and wrestlers were very engaging. Don't leave Osaka without visiting this Sumo experience. It will be one of your best Japan memories ever .

We had a wonderful family experience here. It was the highlight of our trip to Osaka.

I wanted to witness sumo wrestling while visiting Japan, I found the perfect place that hosts one. It was definitely an amazing experience. Do try it!

VERY friendly service and took great care in dressing us in our kimonos. They did a Lovely job on wife’s hair. Also have decorated room with different props to use including swords Highly recommend

It is located near a peaceful river, creating a nice and quiet environment. The setting is very relaxing and perfect for an enriching experience. The staff there were incredibly friendly, encouraging, and professional. They were well-prepared, and the flow of the activities was thoughtfully designed, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I learned a lot about mochi and gained a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture and beauty through this activity. The staff also kindly helped us take some great photos, capturing the memories perfectly. Overall, a wonderful experience! Thank you.

Don't speak English well? No problem, the staff is very patient and will offer you the best possible service. Note that the store is on the second floor of a building. If you look carefully, it is well indicated, but if you can't find it, ask a local, they will be happy to help you. The store is in a great location in relation to Sakha Castle 🥰. If you can, try to book a time slot in the morning, this may allow you to have a photographer available. No need to book, they are super nice and they will explain to you the exact position to put yourself in so that your photos have the prettiest result. Also, as a supplement, the basic kimonos are not necessarily the thickest. If you want something of higher quality, you will have to add approximately ¥3000. In short, it's a great experience to do alone or with your friends.

The sushi making class is highly recommended. Our instructor clearly enjoyed it, and that came across. The homemade sushi was also very delicious!

The staff was friendly, although there was only one employee at the reception desk, so they were quite busy. We had to wait a bit because several groups of customers arrived at the same time. They can communicate in English, but when we had trouble choosing, we asked for a recommendation on which accessory colors to choose, but she couldn't offer any advice and just smiled. The older woman who helped with dressing and hairstyling spoke Japanese, but she was friendly. After changing, we waited a short while for the photographer to arrive, who was Taiwanese. Everyone was great, haha, and didn't force conversation, which was nice. We're not great at posing or expressions, and even though there were instructions, we felt a bit stiff. But overall, we were satisfied. We received the photos quickly the next day, and we would consider coming back again. In the end, the photographer even helped us return the wooden sandals to the store since we walked a bit further before returning to change. The store is quite small, and there are fewer options for men, mostly just a few color combinations. There are more options for women, but not many accessory choices.

The tea ceremony and nerikiri making experience was truly memorable and beautifully done. The instructor explained each step clearly and shared insights into Japanese culture and traditions. Making nerikiri by hand was fun and relaxing, and the tea ceremony felt calm and authentic. It was a perfect cultural experience and a highlight of our trip in Japan.
