What are people saying about Tokyo

Bryan_K, Aug 2026

Don’t miss activity in Tokyo!!!

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had in Japan!!! Nao is a wonderful teacher and she helped our entire family make beautiful manga drawing that we will hang at home. What a fun way to spend an afternoon in Tokyo. We even bought two of Nao’s books! Do not miss this!!!

the SUMO show

Bridget_E, Jul 2026

Fun family experience and delicious lunch

A super fun experience and tasty lunch. We did it our first full day in Tokyo and the whole family loved it. It set the mood for a great trip. Staff were friendly and helpful. We learned a lot about sumo and then got to try it out ourselves. The wrestlers were engaging with great senses of humour. Highly recommend for all ages.

Samurai Training Tokyo Asakusa

Ha_H, Jul 2026

Amazing family experience! Fun, educational, and great photos. Highly recommend!

Our family had an amazing time at the Samurai training course. I brought my two boys (ages 14 and 12), and it turned out to be one of the best activities we’ve done together. Jiro sensei was a fantastic instructor — knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. He walked us through the importance of respect and discipline before moving into basic maneuvers and various finishing techniques. He struck a great balance between keeping things educational and keeping it fun, which isn’t easy when you’re teaching both adults and kids. What really made this special was how much it brought us together as a family. All three of us were learning something completely new, cheering each other on, and laughing through the process. It’s rare to find an activity that genuinely engages everyone regardless of age. A nice bonus — they took great photos and videos throughout the session, which gave us wonderful keepsakes to look back on. Highly recommend this for families, couples, or anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. We’d absolutely do it again.

Tokyo Asakusa Rickshaw Tour

Glenn_M, Jul 2026

A different experience

If you’re thinking about taking a rickshaw tour in Asakusa, ask for Diego. We had such a brilliant experience with him from start to finish. He was so friendly and easy to chat to that it felt like we were exploring the area with a local friend rather than being on a tour. His English was excellent, which made it easy to ask questions, and he shared some really interesting stories and insights about Asakusa that we would never have discovered on our own. He also took some fantastic photographs for us along the way. He knew all the best spots and made sure we came away with memories we’ll genuinely treasure, not just the usual quick holiday snaps. The tour was relaxed, fun and full of little details that made us appreciate the area even more. Diego has a great personality and genuinely enjoys meeting people, which really comes across. One of our favourite moments was teaching him the Irish word “craic”. Hopefully he’s adding it to every tour now because he definitely brought plenty of it himself! Thank you, Diego, for making our visit so memorable. You’re a credit to the team and we’ll be recommending you to anyone visiting Tokyo.

Tea Ceremony Workshop in Tokyo by the Official Instructor

Melissa_P, Jun 2026

Authentic and Calming Tea Ceremony

One of my favorite experiences of a recent trip to Tokyo. The tea ceremony was authentic and performed with reverence and respect. I learned so much about the history and meaning of Chado and Japanese culture. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in the peaceful, meditative practice of tea. And I loved the concept of "this time is the only time," cherishing a specific moment that cannot be repeated.

Great host and great sake

First, I must compliment the host of this tasting. Joe was cool, funny, and knowledgeable. He knew everything you could ever want to know about sake, from how it’s made to the best places to buy in Japan. He made the experience enjoyable. The sake was tasty and we tried several different varieties with different profiles. You definitely don’t get cheated with the amount sake.

I enjoyed the Samurai and...

I enjoyed the Samurai and Ninja Musiem. We received a summary of the samurai during the Edo and Meiji periods when shoguns ruled Japan. There were exhibits featuring Samurai equipment and weaponry and Ninja accessories. The museum had an interactive star throwing segment which was safe and so much fun for all of the participants. We enjoyed this tour.

Yuca is amazing! First of all, she is super knowledgeable to not only how to cook ramen and gyoza but to places you need to check and recommendations on foods of all sorts. She was really kind and made the class entertaining while she was a lovely host. She provided tea, all the ingredients, the recipes, and shared the history behind ramen and all the ingredients. 100% recommend!

Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson

Christeena_S, Nov 2025

A Delicious and Educational Morning!

Walking through Tsukiji Market with Miho was such a wonderful experience. She shared so much information about the market, the different vendors, and what foods are worth trying — it really brought the whole place to life. Hiroko was our amazing instructor for the sushi-making class. She was patient, encouraging, and gave us great tips on preparing miso soup and seasoning the rice properly. I especially loved learning how to make the Japanese egg omelette, but the highlight was definitely mastering a sushi roll! I highly recommend this experience — it’s a fantastic way to learn from locals and get hands-on with authentic Japanese cooking.
