AirKitchen: cooking classes in Japan

What is airKitchen?

airKitchen allows travelers from all over the world to book an authentic cooking class in the homes of Japanese hosts. Learn to cook homemade Japanese food and enjoy the warmth of sharing a meal at the table with locals.

airKitchen wants to offer you an unforgettable experience of everyday Japanese culture and lifestyle through local food adventures.

airKitchen features more than 2,300 hosts throughout Japan.

How does it work?

First, go to the airKitchen website and choose the host you prefer. You can search by city, type of cuisine, or date.

Once you’ve chosen your host, you can book by selecting the date and number of people (the price shown on the website is PER PERSON).

The host will contact you to arrange the meeting time and place.

During the class, you’ll learn how to cook the dish you selected and then enjoy the meal together with your host at their home.

Some hosts offer the opportunity to go to the market to buy the necessary ingredients for the class — this will be indicated on the host’s page.
