This was a super fun experience! I would highly recommend if you want to try something more cultural. You don't often get to learn new skills, and I this activity was really beginner friendly. Would recommend to do with friends and family. I would like to also add, we were super late, but Tanaka was super understanding about it. She is overall a great instructor and friendly host. Thank you again!
