About Cook Aid Nara
We provide a special Japanese food experience for foreign visitors to Japan to give them energy for tomorrow.
Cook Aid Nara is a cooking school that connects Nara with the world by providing foreigners with the opportunity to experience Japanese food culture in historic Nara.
Cook Aid Nara is located in a private home just a 6-minute walk from Kintetsu Ikoma Station.
After experiencing Washoku (Japanese) cooking in the morning, we recommend a leisurely stroll around Nara Park and the suburbs of Ikoma City in the afternoon.
Please come to Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, which has a quiet charm unlike Kyoto or Osaka.
Kintetsu Ikoma Station is only 20 minutes from Osaka (Kintetsu Osaka Namba Station) and 15 minutes from Nara (Kintetsu Nara Station).
