A fun activity in Tokyo! - Fantastic and fun way to spend a few hours in Tokyo! In town for business with a half day off, so I looked up fun things to do and found this activity. Highly recommended for adults and teens.

Great experience! - Staff was amazing and spoke English very well. We had trouble finding the shop and arrived late but the staff was very welcoming and made us feel very much at home. Sharpening and customizing our own knives was so much fun!! I would definitely recommend this experience.

Good class, worth it. Different knife options for extra $$ - Good class, Could go a bit more in-depth with helping people know how to sharpen correctly (keeping angle and reducing burs)

Instructions clear. Very friendly staff. A bit difficult to locate place where class was held. Safely packed for travel - Needs better directions for activity location. Was standing outside searching for location. More direction would be helpful
