“Very beautiful and meaningful experience. One of the best things I did in Vietnam which I highly recommend. Talking to the wise nuns (via the guide & translator) was so impactul 🥹 After visiting the pagoda and talking to the nuns I saw the orphan children the nuns are looking after 🥹 I wish I came more prepared to give them something (sweets or colouring pens or books etc) 🥹 After seeing the children I had a delicious local dinner with the guide & his helper ☺️ and a crash course into Vietnamese food. I would have loved to also have dinner with the nuns 🥰 to spend more time…”

3.Tokyo Vegan Tour : Miso Making, Tea Ceremony, Rickshaw Ride

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · 4 hours · from $62

Meet at Daimon Station for a four-hour private vegan food and culture tour. With an English-speaking guide such as Konomi, you can make miso or onigiri, taste five kinds of amazake, join a matcha ceremony at Kōdōin, ride a rickshaw near Tokyo Tower and Zojoji Temple, and sample sake at Minato Shuzo. Optional fees may apply for extra food activities or longer rides.

“Konomi was a fantastic guide who was knowledgable, approachable and spoke perfect English. The Miso making/Sake tasting/triangle rice making was very interactive. Shortly after we got a tour of the Mita Tower area on the human pulled rickshaw which looked like hard work but was very comfortable for us. We felt like king and queen. The tea ceremony was very authentic but also friendly. We enjoyed our fun filled day. As someone who is often critical of the value for money of tours, I'd say this package offers good value for money.”
