Takoyaki (Octopus Balls)
Discover the joy of making Takoyaki, Japan’s famous street food, in this fun and easy 1-hour cooking class!
Perfect for beginners, families, or travelers on a short break, this experience lets you enjoy delicious food and culture without the hassle.
All ingredients are prepared in advance, so you can jump right into the fun part—grilling and flipping your own Takoyaki on a traditional pan. Vegan options are available, and children are more than welcome to join. It’s a great choice for a light and interactive lunch during sightseeing.
Top your Takoyaki with sauce, mayo, and bonito flakes (or vegan-friendly toppings), then enjoy them fresh off the pan!
A quick, tasty, and memorable Japanese food experience awaits!

Hello! I live in Hida Takayama, and I’m truly amazed at the growing number of international visitors coming here. I’m so happy you've traveled all the way to visit such a small town!
Hida Takayama has so much to offer, including the famous “Takayama Festival,” held every April to welcome spring and every October to celebrate the harvest season. You can also visit Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stroll through Takayama’s historic old town that feels like stepping back in time, and enjoy the changing seasons—sakura blossoms in spring and the beautiful reds and yellows of autumn leaves.
Each season has its unique beauty, and I'd love to help make your stay in Hida Takayama even more memorable. Why not join our cooking class? It’s a private lesson, so you’re welcome to bring your little ones along!
