Itinerary

Immerse yourself in Japanese culture with this hands-on experience in a cozy Yokohama home. Start with a manga illustration session guided by a professional artist. You’ll learn how to draw manga-style characters using authentic tools like G-pens, screentone sheets, and ink. Step-by-step guidance makes it enjoyable for beginners, while manga fans will appreciate insights into the art form. At the end, take home your original drawing as a personal souvenir. Next, move to the kitchen for a fun and interactive Japanese cooking class. You’ll prepare two beloved dishes: colorful sushi rolls with fresh ingredients, and juicy handmade gyoza, carefully folded and pan-fried. Your host will share home-style tips and techniques throughout the process. After cooking, relax in a traditional tatami room and enjoy your meal. You’ll also be served Japanese home-style sweets, along with all-you-can-drink beverages, including shochu, beer, and fruit juices. This 3hour small-group activity is ideal for solo travelers, couples, or friends seeking a genuine and memorable cultural experience in Japan. Come for the food and fun—leave with new skills and warm cultural memories.
