Publisher Description:
Whether you're visiting Tokyo for the first time or you've been there before, there's still plenty of time between sightseeing, dining and shopping for some new experiences. In order to help you make the most of your time, I present 30 activities in this book, each lasting 1-3 hours, in all of which you will learn a lot about Japanese culture and lifestyle.

- Ten courses deal with traditional and historical hobbies and crafts that were once reserved for the nobility.
- Another ten have their focus on handicrafts that were widespread in ancient Tokyo (Edo).
- Also the culinary is covered with the best cooking courses I could find.
- In four pages I give you all the important information about the short courses, which are priced between $4-100 (US).
- In addition, 120 photos help you to get an impression of the course in advance.
- I did all the activities myself and evaluate them completely independently, because I attended as a tourist and always paid the full price.
- You will only find a few of these activities on the online portals.
- For the evaluation of the courses I applied strict standards and included only those in the book that fulfilled my high expectations for authenticity, value for money and suitability for tourists without knowledge of Japan.

I hope that you will enjoy these cultural activities in Tokyo as much as I did when writing this book.
Please note: a conscious decision was made to print this guide in black and white in order to provide you with a wealth of detailed and up-to-the-minute information at a low price. If color photographs are a priority, you should opt for the e-book version.
