Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour & Sushi Making class with Pro Chef

Eliza_H, Jun 2026

Fun and tasty afternoon

My 20 year old daughter and I did this tour during our first trip to Tokyo and it was one of our favorite activities! We met outside of a Buddhist temple and started with a short tour there. We then went into the fish market and learned about its history, as well of some the guide's favorite stalls. We had the time to purchase snacks before moving onto the class. Our class was led by Coco and an experience sushi chef. The chef demonstrated how to prepare fish for sushi, as well as sashimi. Plates with prepared fish and bowls of rice were set out for us and the chef walked through how to make different types of nigiri. Finally, we learned how to make a roll. We then got to eat our creations - delicious. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys sushi!

Our tour with Masa was incredible and filled with interesting facts and history, he gave us incredible insight on each location. We loved that we were able to choose 3-4 sites from a large selection and really spend enough time at each spot. Masa was kind and knowledgable and even helped us with a restaurant reservation for later in the evening when were unable to find one.

One of a kind experience

The Tokyo Drift Experience was one of the highlights of my trip! The car meetups were incredible, with so many beautiful and unique cars to see up close. Riding in such an amazing car was an unforgettable experience, and it was really interesting learning more about Japan’s car culture along the way. Seeing Tokyo Tower illuminated at night was also a fantastic bonus and made the experience even more memorable. Sam was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the car scene, which made the tour even better. One thing to note is that there is no hotel pickup or drop-off, so you’ll need to make your own way to and from the meeting point. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to any car enthusiast visiting Tokyo!

Mt. Fuji, Arakurayama, Hikawa clock shop, Oishi Park, Kawaguchiko

Charlton_G, May 2026

Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience on the tour to Lake Kawaguchiko to view Mount Fuji. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and seeing Mount Fuji up close was truly unforgettable. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and informative, providing interesting insights about the area, its history, and the cultural significance of Mount Fuji throughout the day. I especially appreciated how well-paced the tour was. The guide ensured that we had sufficient time at each stop to take photos, explore, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings without feeling rushed. Their organization, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty of Mount Fuji and the Lake Kawaguchiko area. It was a memorable day and one of the highlights of my trip to Japan.

Spectacular Mt. Fuji and Lake Cruise, Noodles Making Experience

Jodi_A, May 2026

Excellent Tour!

We had such a wonderful experience on this tour. Meg was spectacular and really cared deeply about every member of the tour that day. You get to do a lot of things and see a lot of things in one day, but it is very rushed and certainly not for people who have mobility issues or need extra time since you have to move quickly at every stop to be able to meet the tight schedule demands. Overall, a fantastic tour!

Mt Fuji Hidden Gem Custom Car Tour with Licensed Guide & Driver

Mount Fuji Dreamscape

During this tour we were able to view the beauty and majesty of Mount Fuji from different points. We were very lucky that it was a sunny and clear day, and very lucky to have Yoshimi as our guide and Toshi as our driver. Yoshimi and Toshi made this trip super fun, exciting and educational. The trip was tailored to our preferences, and included door to door pickup and drop off. It truly was a dream come true experience focusing on the beauty of the Lake Kawaguchi area at springtime with cherry blossoms in peak bloom. Also notable were the sake tasting, lake cruise, and lunch stop at a local typical restaurant. I recommend this guided private tour to anyone who dreams of viewing Mount Fuji in comfort.

Tokyo Japanese Dance Cabaret Show Asakusa-Kaguwa

Sacita_D, Apr 2026

A Must-See for Families!

Our group (ages 10 to 20) absolutely loved this show! It’s an intimate, immersive experience where the performers engage directly with the audience. The storytelling is a fantastic mix of traditional Japanese dance and high-energy pop/techno. The customer service was top-tier—they called an hour before to confirm our arrival, gave us incredible seats, and were incredibly gracious when half our group arrived late. We felt so welcomed. My 10-year-old even called it his favorite part of our entire Japan trip! Note on tipping: While we heard tipping isn’t common in Japan, you actually can tip your favorite dancer here. They were all so talented it was hard to pick just one! Highly recommend adding this to your Tokyo itinerary.
