Things to do in Ameyoko Shopping Street

Mai-san is an amazing tour guide! She is very helpful and informative, kind, and also very funny! She made the whole experience worthwhile, and her history, knowledge, and experience helped shape the whole tour into something we will never forget! Thank you, Mai-san!

We had Haruhiko “Sunny” Tamura as our guide, and he was wonderful! This tour was the perfect mix of cultural learning, sightseeing, shopping, and eating. Sunny did a great job explaining the meaning and stories behind the places we visited. He even brought illustrations to explain customs like how to properly clean our hands and bow, which made learning about Japanese traditions fun and memorable. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and down to earth. His English was excellent, and we had no problem understanding him or asking questions. He gave us great shopping tips, helped us pick out a few shops he thought we would enjoy, and gave us excellent recommendations for lunch. It felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable local than following a typical tour. We learned a lot and had a great time. I would absolutely recommend Sunny and would definitely book with him again!

It was a great experience. I got chopsticks that I made myself, and they turned out amazing. My boyfriend chose Sonokeling wood; it's hard, but he did a great job. I liked Yakusugi; it was my favorite type of wood from the first time I saw it.

I booked this and the Kintsugi art class they offer and was so impressed. The staff were amazing and the place is amazing! My husband and I started with making chopsticks. They have a couple you can choose from that were included or you can upgrade to some other chopstick options. We went with the ones included. We worked with Umar and he was so patient and kind to explain each step of the process. For a small additional fee you can also have your name engraved in Japanese which we did! I would highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Tokyo!

Amazing experience. Rick is very calm and patient, an excellent tutor. This was honestly a really cool shake affordable experience and I have memories that will last forever from this... and a fancy new pair of chopsticks! 😁

Absolutely beautiful experience! Feels truly magical to walk through the ‘Borderless’ world within. Highly recommend to all. Also super affordable. I do wish when I booked i realised the closing time was 10pm though (8:30pm slot) as the cafe doesn’t take orders past 9pm, so keep this in mind when booking!

Just spent an amazing afternoon with Camille making 2 rings from coins. Camille was simply superb. She took care to help me choose the coins, then she walked me through the process of forming the ring. She took the time to explain every process and supervise me to make sure the piece is made to perfection. She paid extra attention while polishing the rings and the final product was just surreal. Overall would 100% recommend and if you’re ever there just ask for Camille!!

This is such an amazing experience! The water section was by far our favorite. This is great for couples or friends or families. They had some neat areas especially for kids! I definitely recommend picking the earliest spot in the day as it gets busier as the day progresses.
