Leave early because the traffic from Tokyo to Mount Fuji gets backed up if you leave later than 600am. Our tour guide called the night before and asked if we could leave at 530am instead of 700am. I'm glad we did because we were able to see a lot of things before the crowds.

The Fuji All Day Bus Tour...

The Fuji All Day Bus Tour was a wonderful experience. The itinerary was well planned and organized and captured memorable moments at each stop. Our tour guide, Christie, was excellent, as she was obviously quite knowledgeable and her enthusiasm was inviting. Though Mt Fuji was the star, Christie, helped bring it all to life. Please do go on this tour and you would do well to have her as your guide.

Kyoto Sumo Entertainment Show with Chicken Hot Pot and Geisha

TomLos, Oct 2026

Great family show and worth the price

This is a great family show that’s full of laughs. The food is great and even though my family has plenty of food allergies, there was so many different options that everyone was able to eat until full. My only recommendation is that when they have the audience come to participate at the very end that they let the kids participate. I was surprised by the amount of people that jumped to wrestle the sumos. But mostly the amount of grown men that legitimately are trying to beat them. It would be more enjoyable to watch a variety. They did a random draw with chopsticks which was a fair way to pick, however if you have a few kids, give them an spot and have less men go.

Sadly cancelled due to weather - the refund process was superb

Sadly our drive was cancelled due to excess rain. I'm writing this as the refund process was seamless and quick. The operator cancelled and asked for the refund to be credited, I was advised to called the number on the app, it was answered quickly and the operator was friendly and efficient. The refund was on my card within 48hrs. It was reassuring that it happened so easily and created a trust for me to book future outings knowing that the refund process etc is handled so professionally.

Tokyo Sumo Entertainment Show with Chicken Hot Pot and Geisha

Ashley_D, Oct 2026

Great Family Fun!

This was so much fun!! The show was in English, and the sumo wrestlers were absolutely lovable. We loved the way they include the audience and keep everyone engaged. We laughed so hard, and this was a definite highlight of our 3-week trip to South Korea & Japan. We were pleasantly surprised of how good the food was. Our daughter is a picky eater, so we appreciated that they had other menu options that were kid-friendly. They sent everyone home with souvenirs and a printed group photo. The theater was a 10-minute walk from the subway station, and it was really easy to find. I know that $100+ a ticket may seem steep, but it’s totally worth it!

An evening with the Sumo Wrestlers

Wonderful fun evening. Marvelous hosting by the MC providing background and history of the sport. An insight into the life of the Sumo wrestlers. Demo of their training by the wrestlers. The dos and don'ts of the Sumo match. All the rules for winning and losing the match. Full demo match between the wrestlers. All in an inclusive and entertaining way. Then volunteers were given an opportunity to have a go. This was the most entertaining part of the evening. Great fun. Finally an opportunity for everyone to pop down to the ring and have their picture taken with the wrestlers. Truly a most entertaining evening.

Shibuya Official Street Go-Kart in Shibuya Annex

Allyssa_S, Oct 2026

AMAZING! Highly Recommend!

This was by far mine and my partner's favorite experience! We unintentionally had a "private" session since we went on a Monday at 2pm. We were fortunate that the team was able to accommodate our time change due to other variables on the trip, which worked out since we got to do this experience before the downpour of rain at night. My partner and I felt like celebrities since people kept taking pics of us around Shibuya. Orko was an amazing guide and took photos of us whenever we were at a stop light. He made the experience fun and memorable and sent us the images right away when we were done. Would highly recommend to anyone if you have time to add it to your itinerary! Make sure to get those IDP's! That and your passport are very important since they will ask you about it a few days before the start of the event.
