Experience Details

Ninenzaka is perhaps one of Kyoto’s most charming and famous cobblestone streets. With willowing trees and historical townhouses, only a few minutes on foot from the city’s iconic Kiyomizudera Temple, Ninenzaka is a wonderful place to experience ancient Kyoto and also discover how its traditions are kept alive today.

Another powerful symbol of Japan, sushi originated in the 8th century as a form of preserving fish and, over centuries, adopted vinegar into its recipe, changing with the times into the raw fish and vinegared rice combination that we know of today. One of Japan’s most famous dishes, sushi is also incredibly versatile, changing depending on the seasons and adopting almost endless styles and variations. In this sushi-making class in Ninenzaka, you can get creative by making decorative sushi rolls reflecting Japanese motifs.
