★★★★★I was able to show up without a reservation and get a lesson. The lady was very accommodating in English as best she could and was very patient with me and super encouraging. She also gave a decent discount for leaving a review on google or sharing an image on Instagram. I had a lot of fun!

★★★★★Great experience!
This is a great place to do Japanese culture while having fun.
The owner Yumiko-san is very friendly, relaxed and accepting even if it is your first time.
