Make wagashi near Fushimi Inari in a traditional Kyoto home, learn three sweets, whisk matcha, and enjoy garden views in a small English class.

“Miho was amazing and really gave a personal touch to our experience. We had a nice time chatting and she was able to give us a really great recommendation for areas to visit based on our interests. She even gave us a quick matcha lesson, which was very appreciated. Even though you could probably find the recipes online, or attend a group class, I highly recommend Miho’s personal touch.”
