Japanese traditional sweets, Wagashi in Japanese, are very popular among tourists from overseas not only ladies but gentlemen.
In a Japanese style tea room, a well trained confectioner for a long time will make Wagashi just in front of you. It is very rare experience.
At the lobby of your hotel in Tokyo.
W'll enjoy a taraditional Japanese lunch at a semi-formal Japanese restaurant,
or any restaurant you want to visit like a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant.
There are only two places in Japan, one in Kyoto and the other here, where you can watch a confectioner with extensive training make Wagashi right in front of you. This is a very rare experience. You are welcome to take pictures and record videos.
The Wagashi is served with Matcha (sophisticated green tea).
We can visit one or two places of your choice after our discussion.
At the place where we visit last at around 17:30.
You can experience to watch the confectioner's quick and careful skill like a magician just in front of you.
You can eat the Wagashi everywhere in Japan. However this is one of only two places to experience to watch the skill.
You can enjoy the taste of combinetion of Wagashi and match.

Masato was amazing! He was so full of energy and interesting information. We felt fully immersed in everything Tokyo offered. We will definitely recommend him to friends travelling to Tokyo.
Hi Fiona, Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed Tokyo tour. Thank you again.
Masato was an excellent guide and was especially patient with our family of three generations. He shared insights into Japanese culture and history without overwhelming us with information, and he put together a customized schedule that worked well for everyone, even when we had a lot of extra stops. We arranged a driver as well and Masato went out of his way to make sure all the details were in place and that the driver knew where to go. We would never have gotten to see so many things in the short time we had in Tokyo without his help. We are grateful to have shared the day with Masato!
Hi Ashley, Thank you for your kind words to me. I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed so much with my guide. I will still expect your generation and the kids' generation to come to Japan again very soon. Please enjoy the rest days in Japan. Please say hello to everybody in your family. Masato
Very satisfied!!!
Hi Leonard, I am very pleased to read your short and impact message. I supposed that your wife and you enjoyed so much everything, especially to eat sushi in Tsukiji fish market. Please enjoy the rest days in Japan.
Masato served as our guide during our visit to Sensoji, Kappabashi shopping street, and was our interpreter during a Sashimono woodworking class where we made our own chopsticks! He was very knowledgable about the area and the history, and was the perfect translator for our workshop. He was able to easily translate all of the intricate woodworking verbiage, and we were very lucky to have him there with us! Thank you so much, Masato! We loved spending our day with you!
Hi Stacy, I am very glad to read your wonderful comments on my service in Asakusa. I wish you visit here again. Masato.
