Top Japan Shows & Performances

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!

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!

Shuhei was beyond outstanding. He contacted us well in advance so that we could let him know what sites we were interested in seeing in order for him to be prepared. Not only did he make sure that we saw everything on our wish list, but he went out of his way to make sure that we experienced local sites, as well as off the beaten path sites, that we never would have thought of on our own...which turned out to be some of the most memorable highlights of our tour. The local restaurant that he took us to for lunch wasn't fancy, but the tempura shrimp that we had was delicious and cooked to perfection (and I am an extremely picky eater). The restaurant was plain and simple, but to be honest, I don't think we had any meal as delicious during the following 2 weeks that we were touring Japan. During our tour, we experienced subway transit and train transit multiple times. It blew us away to see how impeccably clean and how zero graffiti existed...anywhere! Shuhei was a fountain of information explaining anything and everything as we walked along. By the time the tour was over, we were ready to adopt him and his lovely wife (who we hadn't met but felt like we had). He's just very personable, easy to relate to, and genuinely out to please. His English is impeccable, so no worries about miscommunication. And, he even kept in touch with us afterward. The next day we experienced an earthquake followed by a tsunami alert while still in the hotel. The day before, he had mentioned how frequently they have earthquakes. I sent him a text asking if he had scheduled that just so that we had the opportunity to get the WHOLE Japan experience...LOL I would definitely, without hesitation, hire him again! (Best advice, make sure to wear super comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking involved...but well worth it)

We had a fantastic experience. Our guide Yuta was great. A day out of the city from the hustle and bustle seeing beautiful scenery from visiting Mt Fuji, a Japanese garden, taking a cable cart over sulpher mines and cruising the lake in Hakone. Definitely recommend this tour.

Tomomi is an excellent local guide who maneuvers around the interests of the guests and any needs that may arise. She and our driver Toshi who is an experienced driver navigated many hidden venues to capture a view of Mt. Fuji, a local sake brewery and an excellent local winery. Many thanks to them for an excellent day despite the rain.

We really enjoyed our tour through the fish market. Our guide was lovely and shared lots of information about Japanese food and culture. Our sushi making class was a wonderful way to start our journey through Tokyo. We learned so much about the importance of technique, process, and traditions. It was fun and interactive for our entire family.

Easily the best live show I've seen while in Japan. The performance was fantastic and I had an absolute blast! There's solid audience participation, the costumes are amazing, and honestly I think I'm going to go back and see it again before I leave. Included bento box meal was also decent, and drinks were reasonably priced (note: cash only when you get inside though). It isn't crowded either (they keep the audience size managable)... but, oh my word, it's loud lol

Amazing experience! I was travelling solo and wanted to have a good time with like minded people and found the perfect spot. We were a diverse group of fun and incredible travellers and also some locals which made the experience unforgettable. If you don’t want to go out by yourself and you are looking for a crew to party, here is the spot, no brainer ! Thanks to the member of the team, I don’t remember the names because I was too drunk, but everyone made me have a great time! Thanks friend I will always remember this night !
