Summer 2026 Family Vegan Cooking Class in Arashiyama, Kyoto | Private & Kid-Friendly
Planning a family summer holiday in Japan?
Looking for an unforgettable activity that kids and parents will all enjoy together?
Our private vegan cooking class in Arashiyama is the perfect choice — fun, hands-on, delicious, and completely stress-free.
Why Families Love Cooking with Us
Kyoto summers can be hot and crowded. That's why families love escaping to our air-conditioned traditional Japanese home tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of Arashiyama.
Completely private for up to 4 people (perfect for your family only)
For 3 people, it's almost always private too
Hosted by an experienced Japanese chef (husband) and his English-speaking wife
Kid-friendly — recommended for ages 10 and up
100% plant-based and completely dashi-free (safe for every diet)
Excellent location:
Just 3 minutes walk from Hankyu Arashiyama Station and close to Togetsukyo Bridge
Many parents tell us this experience became the highlight of their entire Japan trip.
What Your Family Will Cook
In our most popular Vegan Ramen & Sushi Combo Class, you'll make together:
Rich Vegan Ramen — deep homemade broth, fresh noodles, and colorful toppings
Nigiri, Maki & Temaki Sushi — learn professional techniques to create beautiful sushi
Matcha Experience — whisk and enjoy your own bowl of authentic matcha
Matcha is included in some class times. If not, you can easily add it on the day for ¥1,500 per person.
Even your non-vegan family members are always amazed by how flavorful everything is!
Everyone receives detailed recipe cards to take home so you can recreate the dishes back in your own kitchen.
Perfect Half-Day Plan in Arashiyama
We also offer a half-day plan to enjoy Arashiyama with your children, recommended by locals. For more details, please see this blog post.
We also recommend visiting the nearby Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho after class — it's a relaxing way to refresh after dinner. You can go hands-free (towels and amenities provided).
This combination of sightseeing and cultural activity creates the perfect balance for families.
