# Tokyo experiences: the things you do, not just see

Classes, sport, digital art and the outdoors: the memories people talk about back home.

The Tokyo experiences families and groups love most are a sushi or wagashi (Japanese sweets) class, a ninja or samurai lesson, a sumo tournament or morning practice, the teamLab digital art museums, kimono rental with hijab-friendly styling and, from January to May, strawberry picking near Tokyo. Iheb books them, translates and checks ingredients (no pork, no alcohol) and prayer times with each provider.

## Classes and experiences

- **Sushi and wagashi:** roll your own sushi or shape Japanese sweets; Iheb asks for a version without mirin or sake.
- **Ninja and samurai:** an hour of sword moves, throwing stars and stealth, a favorite with kids.
- **Kimono:** rent one for the day; some shops style it with a hijab and offer longer sleeves.
- **Manga drawing:** a lesson with an illustrator, for anime fans.

## Sumo, digital art and theme parks

- **Sumo:** Tokyo tournaments are held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in January, May and September; outside them, some stables accept visitors at morning practice.
- **teamLab:** Planets in Toyosu (barefoot, knee-deep water) and Borderless at Azabudai Hills.
- **Theme parks:** Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea in Urayasu, Sanrio Puroland in Tama.
- **Views:** Shibuya Sky at sunset, the Skytree and Odaiba bay at night.

## Strawberry picking (January to May)

Ichigo-gari, all-you-can-eat strawberry picking in greenhouses, is a very Japanese winter outing and perfect with children. You find it around Tokyo, on the Izu Peninsula (Shizuoka) and near Fuji. Slots need booking, especially on weekends.

## FAQ

Are Tokyo cooking classes halal?

Not by default: Japanese cooking often uses mirin and sake. Iheb picks classes that agree to cook without alcohol or pork and confirms it in advance.

When can I see sumo in Tokyo?

During the January, May and September tournaments at the Ryogoku Kokugikan; the rest of the year, sometimes at a stable’s morning practice.

What is best for young kids?

Ninja lessons, teamLab, strawberry picking and the Enoshima aquarium are family favorites.
