Private Sumo Training Experience – Tokyo

The most iconic Japanese athletes, the Sumo wrestlers, Rikishi, open the doors of the Ryogoku, the center of Japan's sumo world, to share with visitors their way of life and their morning practice session. You'll see the lowest practice before they begin their chores and then watch the higher ranked wrestlers, Sekitori, practice before performing the crowd pleasing 'King of the Castle', where one Rikishi stays in the ring to wrestle successive opponents until he is defeated.

Private Market Visit and Cooking Class – Kyoto

Few travel experiences match visiting a market with a local, private guide. Add, on top of that, a sake brewery and cooking class, and you've got a recipe for a memorable day in Kyoto. Wander through the back streets of Kyoto from the market to a former sake brewery before going to a traditional Kyoto wooden townhouse to learn how to make sushi, miso soup and a cooked salad before sitting down to a fantastic meal prepared by you.

Osaka Home Cooking Lesson with lunch – Osaka

The undisputed culinary capital of Japan, Osaka is a foodies delight. The Osakans motto, Kuidaore, literally meaning 'eat till you drop', says enough. This cooking lesson offers an intimate learning experience in a former local restaurant that preserves the traditional atmosphere of Osaka neighborhood restaurants. With two options, learning about home cooking, or festival-time street food specialties, to gain a new found knowledge and appreciation for Japanese cuisine.
