Nagoya Cultural experiences

Our experience with VASARA Kimono Rental in Nagoya was exceptional. While this location had fewer yukata choices than I expected, the staff more than made up for it with their kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine care. I hoped to wear a red yukata to match my wife’s, but none were available. The staff went above and beyond, searching through unopened boxes until they found a maroon yukata with dragon designs. They paired it with a blue obi featuring a water pattern. They also dressed my wife and daughter beautifully, and transformed my son into a young samurai. Seeing our whole family dressed together was a highlight of our trip. Walking through Nagoya and visiting Nagoya Castle in yukata felt immersive and special. We received many friendly compliments and interactions along the way. The VASARA team didn’t just rent us clothing, they created a wonderful family memory we will cherish for years.

Highly recommended this experience. it’s an hour for the sweets making and 20-30mins for the matcha tea ceremony. Our teacher was lovely and gave good clear instructions on what we had to do. Both my boys 12y and 13y really enjoyed it and found the sweets to taste good. Thankyou for the great memories.

An adorable experience with adorable staff! The team really makes an effort to ensure international travelers feel included. The explanations are simple and clear, and they don't hesitate to come and help you. I had a great time there, and the wagashi were delicious!!

We had a really lovely morning with Antero and Yoko! They were so kind and accomodating. Due to rain they suggested to shoot in Nagono instead of Nagoya Castle and the photos were fantastic! We got so many nice pictures of us and they even included some snapshots of little details in the places we went. Antero has so much energy and thought of a lot of fun ideas to coax some great smiles from the kids (and us!) It's easy to see that he is really passionate about photography. My 6 year old daughter really enjoyed the photoshoot and I know I will treasure the photos for many years to come!

The instructor was incredibly kind and taught cooking very well. They also answered all my questions about the class and travel during the session, making it a great experience! I highly recommend it!

Super friendly personell and a very fun experience. Used Google translate so we could understand each other, very handy.

The staff were very polite and helpful from start to finish, and they clearly explained anything I didn't understand! Thanks to them, I was able to create something very cute and satisfying! I'd love to visit again.
