A Wonderful, Personalized Tour with Ai
We really enjoyed our afternoon exploring Fukuoka with Ai. Before the tour, she asked about our interests and preferences and put together an itinerary just for us. She mentioned that her tours are often different depending on her guests, and we appreciated that personal approach.
Throughout the tour, Ai shared interesting stories and insights about Japanese culture. At Gokoku Shrine, she explained the tradition of bringing girls at ages 3 and 7 and boys at age 5 to the shrine. We even saw a young boy dressed for the occasion having professional photos taken. It was a nice local touch that we might otherwise have missed.
We also appreciated the extra effort Ai put into our visit. She gave us a guidebook and additional information, then followed up with a photo album and restaurant recommendations that considered our different food preferences.
Ai was friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We would happily recommend her to anyone visiting Fukuoka!

Incredible Sumo Experience w/ wheelchair
This Sumo experience was AWESOME! We had someone in a wheelchair and it was accessible and they made sure everyone felt included. The MC spoke English and was very engaging throughout the demonstration. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere! My twin boys and husband were able to challenge the sumos and said it was something they would do again and again! 100% recommend for anyone who is looking for a fun and interactive Sumo Experience!

Not to miss traditional tea experience
A very special experience, very friendly and informative staff. Got to pick your own kimonos and was helped dressed by the lovely staff, hair was done with accessories. Staff helped direct photo shoot and the tea ceremony with the tea master was very special.

One hour won’t be enough :)
A very fun experience! Recommend wearing a mask because of the exhaust fumes. Definitely something I will try again, but this time I’ll opt for the longer, 2-hour version because one hour wasn’t enough because of all the fun you’ll have driving in the streets of Japan. Wonderful guide as well.

Like touring with a a friend!
I got to learn many things about the city, the culture, the food, and places to visit. I saw old buildings, trees, temples and shrines and new skyscrapers with advertising screens on the side. Our guide, Emir, was so knowledgeable and personable that it was like touring with a friend.

Fantastic Sake tour and experience
This was a fantastic tour! We learned so much about Sake from production to how to taste and pair it with food. Our guide Shogo was very knowledgeable and friendly and had a clear passion for Sake. He was able to explain the different types of Sake, how they are produced, the different types of flavors and how to pair them with food. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend this for anybody with an interest in learning about or drinking Sake!

Same experience
I had a great time during the sake experience! Our guide, Kiyomi, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, welcoming, and did a great job making sure everyone was taken care of throughout the experience. I learned a lot about sake, including the process behind making it and the culture and history surrounding it. Kiyomi explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made the experience both fun and educational.
This was definitely more than just a tasting—it was a great opportunity to learn something new while enjoying the experience. I really enjoyed my time and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in Japanese culture and sake. I will definitely be going back!

Unique Once in a Lifetime
We loved this experience!!! Being able to learn the history of the samurai in a real samurai house and then swing a samurai sword was incredible! This experience was so immersive. We got to wear traditional samurai outfits and practice the mental meditation too. The staff and samurai instructors were amazing and even took pictures for us! Highly recommend, it was a huge highlightbof our entire trip!

Make sure you go - go karting in tokyo
Make sure you bring some change with you (cold drinks at the vending machine, sunscreen and a tye-able hat. Marky was our guide and we had a lot of fun whipping through the city. He took a bunch of pictures for us and we got to view some cools spots around Tokyo! I was a little nervous as I have never driven in a foreign country but Marky and Jordan made me feel comfortable within the first 5 minutes!

True Japanese Cooking Class with a Fantastic Instructor
Yuca was amazing. She was super friendly and welcoming. She was extremely informative and was more than willing to answer our questions. The class was small and intimate. She included a wonderful guide and recipes for all the dishes we cooked. We made delicious ramen and gyoza. Overall wonderful experience.
