Joining classes in Japan during your trip

Updated: Oct 21, 2022

Are you interested in taking classes in Japan? 

I think it is fun to learn, for example: Japanese cooking, the language, martial arts, and other things.


Even if you are going there for a few days, there may be some classes that fit your schedule.


I have found some classes in Tokyo and Osaka, so I will share the information here.


Tokyo

Japanese lessons

The Japanese language school, Meguro Language Center



Language exchange

Language Exchange Café



Japanese cooking

Mayuko's Little Kitchen Japanese Cooking Class



Japanese glass making: Edo Kriko glass

Sokichi


Osaka

Language exchange

● Takoyaki and other food

Takoyaki”” is one of Osaka's specialties.



Other interesting thing I found (although it is not something Japanese...)

Glass making workshop in Nagahama, Shiga.

If you want to go somewhere quieter, I recommend Nagahama city in Shiga prefecture.


There are a few nice glass blowing workshops you can attend in Nagahama. I used to take my children there and we made glasses, plates, and stained glass products.


Nagahama is a beautiful old city. If you rent a car you can drive from Nagahama to Hikone city by the lake Biwako.


In Hikone, there is beautiful Hikone castle. You may find a small "Kawana" (salt-grilled sweetfish) shop on a street, and yummy "Hida beef" restaurants.

Another fun thing to do in Shiga prefecture is to rent a bike and ride around the lake. I have never done it but I would like to do that when I go back to Japan!

Click Rental Bike shop.


Hope you enjoy your trip to Japan!

 

If you ever need any help before&during your Japan trip, drop me a line.

Not many people speak English in Japan.

I can translate e-mails and letters or even do online interpretation.

I was an Airbnb super-host in Japan and hosted people from different countries in Mie prefecture (close from Ise shrine). I don't accommodate people that way any more but I hope to help in other ways like online translation.
