Come visit our home and let's have an every day home-cooked meal together. When you arrive, take a load off, drink some tea, and let's chat about your trip. We will segue into food talk and then we will preview the food that we will cook together that night. After that, we'll put aprons on and gather around the kitchen counter to slice, dice, and mix up the dishes. You will learn about the staples that we have from which most Japanese dishes can be made. We are a busy family, but we are foodies and love to open our doors to the world. So as long as you are ok with coming over to a family home and making a meal with the kids, the cat, and the dog, let's enjoy the time together. We open our home and hearts to you, in a setting where kids, pets, and adults can relax, eat, and talk together. Step into our house on the hill and become a part of our family for the day. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Just to let you know, - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €101 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.89/5 from 84 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Anthony - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: Japanese, English - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.89 from 84 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 81 of 84. - 5 stars: 79 (94%) - 4 stars: 2 (2%) - 3 stars: 2 (2%) - 2 stars: 1 (1%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Lunch/Dinner | €101 / person (for 2+ people) | English, Japanese | Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes Lunch or Dinner | | Family Dinner (Cook One Dish) | €101 / person (for 2+ people) | English, Japanese | Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Home-cooked family dinner: Seasonal welcome dish, then a multi-course dinner prepared with Naomi and served family-style around our table.
