Tokyo: Sushi Making Class in Shibuya Hand Rolled with Master (opens in a new tab)

36 1 h 30 min

Step away from the neon lights of Shibuya and into a serene culinary oasis where you’ll master the most versatile form of sushi: Temaki. While Nigiri requires years of apprenticeship, Temaki (handrolled sushi) is the heart of Japanese celebrations and home gatherings—and we are going to show you exactly why. Your journey begins with an introduction to the essential components. You’ll learn how to handle Nori (dried seaweed) to keep it snap-crisp and how to spread the rice without crushing the grains. Your expert instructors will guide you through the "Golden Ratio" of fillings, ensuring every bite is a perfect harmony of vinegared rice and ocean-fresh seafood. The best part? The feast at the end. Sit down with your handmade creations, paired with hot miso soup and green tea, and enjoy the satisfaction of a meal you built from scratch. You’ll leave not just with a full stomach, but with the skills to host your own sushi party back home.

Omotesando Architecture Tour: Modern Japan Through a Local's Eyes (opens in a new tab)

5 2 h 30 min

Most people on Omotesando consume the buildings as symbols a logo, a brand, a landmark. Architecture lovers appreciate each one, but in isolation. Nobody connects them. That's the gap this tour fills. We visit seven or more of Omotesando's most celebrated buildings. Each one famous. Each one part of the same story. The avenue was first laid out in 1919 as a sacred approach to Meiji Shrine — and it's been reinventing itself ever since. Each building carries a different mood: early modernization's optimism, postwar recovery's confidence, bubble-era spectacle, and a quieter present still figuring itself out. Whether it's your first time in Tokyo or your tenth if understanding a place matters more to you than just photographing it, you'll love this. No architecture vocabulary needed. Just a willingness to look differently. P.S. SunnyHills is a Kengo Kuma building. The pineapple cake is included. You're welcome:)
