We spent a fabulous afternoon with Taro and his family, learning to prepare a typical Japanese dinner. Taro responded to my online booking enquiry immediately and I was really excited about the experience. After all the temples, eating out, navigating Japanese menus, sightseeing etc it was lovely to spend a cosy afternoon in Taro's family home. We prepared a two course vegetarian lunch and were given recipes to keep. Taro has a genuine enthusiasm for Japan, cooking and meeting new people. If you are curious to know more about Japanese food and culture and want to see another side to the wonderful city of Kyoto, I highly recommend booking this class. Also, Taro's daughter is adorable and his wife is a lovely lady too.

Being a Londoner, I'm spoilt for choice and can visit a different gallery/exhibition every day if I wanted to.
Although the exhibition itself is brilliant in the Tate, the view from the top restaurant is AMAZING.
The sun was beating down and 3 friends and myself sat in front of the huge glass wall looking straight out on to the beach/sea.
Words cannot describe it, it felt we were somewhere in the Med, not England.
Well worth a trip!
Tate, St Ives
