Q. What's the schedule like?

It turns out, this isn't just a simple sushi-making workshop!

- 5:00 PM: Arrive, receive a warm welcome from staff in kimono with taiko drumming, and enjoy a stroll through the garden and along the coastline (approx. 30 min)

- 5:30 PM: Chef's demonstration and lesson, practice your techniques with special training ingredients, then create your own nigiri sushi (60 min)

- 6:30 PM: Enjoy your handmade sushi along with a full Ryotei course meal (approx. 90 min)

- 8:00 PM: Conclude the experience

The garden stroll is perfectly timed with sunset, allowing you to soak in the beautiful twilight atmosphere.

Q. What kind of meal is included?

If you can't eat raw fish, just let them know when you book! They'll provide a separate mini grill during mealtime so you can cook your seafood.

Even if someone in your party doesn't eat sashimi, it's incredibly accommodating!

Q. How does this compare to other sushi experiences?

I compared this experience with other options listed in the MyRealTrip cooking category.

To sum it up, if you're just looking at the price, the 90-minute experience is cheaper. However, this particular product includes a full dinner course and a stroll through the ryotei garden, making it a complete evening meal experience.

The table clearly shows the differences, doesn't it? A 20% coupon discount is currently available, so if your schedule is set, make sure to check the conditions now 👇

Q. How do I get there?

- Meeting Point: Kyoan Senjojiki Parking Lot (3175 Arige, Wakamatsu Ward, Kitakyushu)

- Arrive 10 minutes before your reservation time and simply tell your name to the staff at the entrance.

- The basic plan involves meeting at the site, and round-trip transportation is not included.

If you need round-trip transportation from Kokura Station or hotels around Kokura, you should select the "Kokura Station Round-Trip Transfer" option. Transfers are priced per group of 4-8 people, and if you are 1-3 people, you can use the service by paying the fee for 4 people. If departing from a hotel, please make sure to write the hotel name and address in the memo section.

Q. Who is this experience perfect for, and when might another option be better?

This is perfect for:

- Those who want to make their evening in Kitakyushu special

- Family trips with parents and children (even beginners will be helped by the chef)

- Those who prefer local cultural experiences over typical sightseeing

Another option might be better if:

- You're looking for a shorter, more affordable experience (there's a separate 90-minute experience product)

- You absolutely need the experience to be conducted in Korean (the operating language is Japanese)

Q. What should I check before booking?

- Cancellations made up to 7 days before the experience are eligible for a full refund.

- 50% will be deducted for cancellations 6-3 days prior, and no refunds are possible 2 days prior to or on the day of the experience.

- Beverages and alcohol are not included.

- Please make sure to inform us about any allergies and whether you consume raw fish when booking.

- As it gets very dark outdoors after sunset, you'll be advised to be careful on your way home.

- This is a newly launched product, so there are no reviews for this specific item yet.

Once you've checked the cancellation policy, all that's left is to choose your date and decide on transfer services. There aren't many available dates in November, so if your schedule aligns, make sure to check early 👇

Overall Review

The MyRealTrip Kitakyushu Senjojiki Sushi Making & Japanese Cuisine Masterclass is a 3-hour experience where you get to make 8 pieces of nigiri sushi yourself at a ryotei that opened in 1969, followed by a full course meal. The regular price is ~$126, with a 20% coupon bringing it down to ~$100 and up. It includes an instructor, ingredients, meal, service charge, and tips.

This seems like a great choice for anyone looking to combine a sushi making experience with dinner. Since full refunds are available up to 7 days prior, if your schedule is set, make sure to check it out in advance. You can find more details directly via the link below! 👇
