Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $339 a day this sits near the top of the range, against a $156 median for culinary. It is cheaper than 1 of the 18 culinary options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Japan
- 7 other options in Japan, starting with tea ceremony and ikebana in Kyoto from $250.
- When to go
- Runs year-round, so this one bends around your calendar rather than the other way about.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 14 days, but the honest range is 7 to 60. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
