Highlights
You make two kinds of mochi with your own hands - matcha mochi and a seasonal fruit daifuku - rather than watching a demonstration, then taste Japanese green tea and roasted hojicha side by side with a guide who explains why certain teas suit certain sweets. Groups are capped at 10 and led entirely in English, so beginners get real attention. Recipes are gluten-free and vegan-friendly, and you take home what you make in a box.

About Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.
The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
