Although it is a small town, it has a castle tower built on top of a mountain from which you can see the entire town, clean water that you can drink at the drinking fountain, and is known as the birthplace of silk-screen printing and food samples, a town that is a condensed version of the splendor of Japan. The city is also known as the birthplace of silk-screen printing and food samples, etc. Especially in summer, there are more things to see and do in the city as fishermen fish for sweetfish in the river and the Gujo Odori dance, known as one of the three major Bon Odori dances in Japan, becomes more active. It is also an attractive town for Japanese people and a vibrant town with young immigrants. We will offer experiences along with sightseeing, so please let us know if there are any experiences you are interested in.

What are people saying about Japan

Richard_R, May 2026

Mt. Fuji and then some!

This tour to Mt. Fuji was exceptional! Our tour operator, Zia, was very familiar with the area which allowed for perfect photo ops of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding communities. We explored a Shinto Shrine, a 17th century village, a redwood forest, a beautiful flower garden, and an exhilarating ride in a speedboat on Lake Kawaguchiko. In addition to speaking English and Japanese, Zia said he also speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and at least a few other languages. This could be useful for other international travelers. Viator was easy to book the excursion with and the price was a bit lower than the fee my wife and I have paid in the past for private tours with other vendors. We will definitely treasure the memories made on this specific tour. While visiting Tokyo, I would highly recommend this tour. Be sure to ask for Zia! Richard Rampi (Orlando, Florida)

Tokyo: Sumo Entertainment Show with Chicken Hot Pot & Geisha

William_Z, May 2026

Sumo wrestling

Great show that was educational and entertaining. Host did a great job of explaining the history, rules, and training. The wrestlers were engaging with the audience and really pushed themselves in the dojo during the matches. A real bonus was how good the food was. And the free picture of you with the wrestlers was a nice touch. Would highly recommend this experience!

Mt Fuji and Hakone 1-Day Bus Tour Return by Bullet Train

Shonnan_S, May 2026

A throughly enjoyable adventure to Hakone!

If you have the time, definitely book this experience. It was fun, informative and at points breathtaking. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji throughout the day, including with the sunset as we shot through the mountains on the bullet train back to Tokyo. There was a mixture of historical, geographical and local information, including some excellent recommendations for all of Japan (not just Tokyo!). This tour extends beyond a trip to Mt. Fuji (which would have been excellent in itself), including plenty of stops to immerse yourself into different parts of Hakone. Thank you for a great experience!

My partner loves rides like this and I was hesitant cause I get nervous driving in the opposite side of what I’m used to driving - I can tell you that I LOVED this - Michael our street guy was excellent and gave us clear instructions at all times - my only recommendation to anyone is that they have goggles - use them - I didn’t and felt dust kept going into my eyes.

We had a great time on this tour through Shinjuku and its Izakayas! It was a perfect introduction to the area, with lots of delicious bites in places filled with locals that we never would have found on our own. The highlight was our guide Elena, who created a really fun environment for everyone - we loved chatting with her. Overall, this tour would be a great option as you get oriented early in your trip!

This tour is a great way...

This tour is a great way to get out of the city and explore other parts of Japan. We were fortunate to get good weather and great opportunities provided by them to get good pictures of Mt. Fuji. Our tour guide, Augustin, had great communication with us throughout the trip. He was fun, gave us good info on how to navigate the sites, and took pictures for us. Made the process as smooth as possible even during Golden Week.

Strong man!

This was a fun experience! We definitely learned about the tournaments and sumo wrestlers and their lives. The show was more for fun , but definitely worth to see it. The only confusing part was direction- google map took us from the back of the building but the entry if from the main street. Look for the signs!

New York in One Day Guided Sightseeing Tour

6 hour tour of Manhatten

You see and learn a lot about Manhatten and history of the place in 6 hours. I liked the small group of 15 and the bus we were in. The driver, Betty, was amazing getting the bus around crowded streets. Could hear Tony, the guide well. His bright green lit stick he held up made it easy to follow and find him in crowded areas. You are on and off the bus frequently. The tour gives a visitor an overview of many of the city attractions if you only have a short time in New York. Lots of history given.

Circle Line: New York City Statue of Liberty Super Express Cruise

Wendy_P, Apr 2026

Cruise to Ellis island

We enjoyed the cruise. Mike the tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. However we were rushed on the boat even though we had 10 minutes to board. People wanted to stop outside and the workers were rude. Then people kept getting in trouble for having their umbrellas open outside. To the point that the tour guide was yelling at them and we could all hear it.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour with Reserved Ferry Entry

Alessandra_C, Apr 2026

Loved it! I would do it again! She is a beauty!

I enjoyed my experience very much. It was described well, meeting point was easy to find, guide Jack was fun and a great storyteller, kept us informed about where and when to meet at all points on the journey, the ferry experience was very good, the visit to Liberty Island was filled with awe, and Ellis island was great, too. I had to hop on the ferry back to New York by 1:30 to meet a friend for lunch and did not have time to explore the immigration museum, sadly. Plan nothing after this tour so you are free to stay as long as you want on Ellis Island. I would do this again! I plan to get a ticket in advance to see the interior of Lady Liberty next time. Thanks to everyone who makes this happen!
