What are people saying about Japan

Stormey_D, May 2026

Too much fun in Osaka!

This was a BLAST! Cruising around Osaka at night was awesome. Ginga was a fantastic guide. He made sure we all felt comfortable and looked after all of us. He took so many cool pictures of everyone! Everyone from check in to leaving was so nice!! You would be a fool not to go to Street CART!

1.5-Hour Kyoto Insider Sake Experience with Tastings & Pairings

Joseph_D, May 2026

An Extraordinary Sake Experience

Kiyomi, our sake sommelier, provided us with a wonderful insight into sake brewing and its cultural significance in Japan. We tasted eight different sake, then tasted them again with a selection of small bites. Kiyomi graciously shared her knowledge and her passion for sake. The next day we were reading labels and talking about how “polished” the rice was based on the label! A key factor in the making of saki. I recommend you take the time to learn about sake from an expert.

Excellent experience

We had an absolutely incredible experience exploring Osaka with Kalid. From the very beginning, he was warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the city with us. His knowledge of Osaka’s history, culture, food, and hidden gems was outstanding, and he made every part of the tour engaging and memorable. What really stood out was how helpful and attentive he was throughout the day. He tailored the experience perfectly to our interests, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed. It felt less like a standard tour and more like discovering Osaka with a knowledgeable local friend. Kalid’s recommendations were excellent, and thanks to him we got to experience places and details we never would have found on our own. His energy, friendliness, and professionalism truly made the day special. If you’re visiting Osaka and want an authentic, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience, I cannot recommend Kalid highly enough. One of the best tour guides we’ve ever had.

The essences of Fukuoke.in 4 hours

Our guide has spent time planning our trip just after I booked the excursion, taking care of details what our preferences. Within 4 hours we covered different aspects of the city, from historial shrine, street scapes, witness people queling up for buy their favorate snacks, shopping streets with stunning waterfalls, nice city park with lakes and a lovely Japanese gardens, and few traditional residential streets. Experiencing travel on the underground train system to various sections of the city and as well as walking. A very nice experience!

the SUMO show

Melanie_S, May 2026

An excellent introduction...

An excellent introduction to Sumo! Very informative and entertaining. The included lunch prepared by the sumo wrestlers is delicious, and the show is fabulous (and interactive if you’re brave enough to take on an ex-professional sumo wrestler!). We also had the opportunity to ask any questions we had, and to take photos with the wrestlers at the end of the session.

Kyoto Sake Brewery & Tasting Walking Tour

Meredith_K, May 2026

Book This One!

This sake tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. From start to finish, our tour guide Jimmy was warm, personable, and genuinely enthusiastic. He made us feel welcome while sharing fascinating stories about sake history and brewing techniques. His explanations were clear and engaging, and he happily answered every question with patience and knowledge. The tastings were thoughtfully paced and well curated, showcasing a great variety of styles so you can really appreciate the differences. A big plus, he offers several tour options beyond the sake tour. We learned about his Nara excursions and food-focused tours, which sound fantastic for anyone wanting to explore more of the region. If you want a fun, informative, and friendly experience with someone who clearly loves what he does, book this tour. You’ll leave with new knowledge, great memories, and probably a favorite bottle or two.

Kimono Tea Ceremony at Kyoto Maikoya, NISHIKI

Keiran_C, Apr 2026

Amazing time

Amazing experience. The host explains the historical significance of the ceremony and explains the key portions of the ritual. She also highlighted things that we would be doing different for our ceremony (due to the nature of it being a tourist event versus a traditional ceremony) and gave us ample opportunities for photos.

Molly_T, Apr 2026

A peaceful and...

A peaceful and informative way to spend a couple of hours. We arrived and a group of knowledgeable women whisked us through the process of picking out and donning kimono - they are clearly experts. We then learned about the tea ceremony and had some sweet treats - very beautiful and tasty. We watched the tea master make the tea, before each of us having some tea. I don’t usually enjoy matcha, but this matcha was very delicious and high quality. Each family had the chance to try making tea. It was a lovely, meditative afternoon.

Such a great afternoon learning about sake

Our guide Kotaro was so knowledgeable! We walked trough the Sake museum and learned about the Sake brewing, then we proceed to the tasting experience. We had so much fun and feel more confident about choosing our sake! This is a must do tour if you are in the Kyoto area! Thank you so much Kotaro!

So much fun!!

This was the most fun activity that we did!! It was awesome to go kart around the streets! We were in the Ahkihabra area, but saw so much more!!! Our guide, Aaron, was great!! Very clear on rules and instructions and truly patient in the few times I got distracted by the amazing architecture and lagged behind a smidge. He also took some awesome pics that we will always have! Thank you Aaron!!!

Kyoto Samurai Experience

Adriana_B, Mar 2026

Great samurai experience with real swords

We really enjoyed this activity. Well organized and the staff was very friendly. They dressed us all up at the beginning. Both the interpreters and the master were very knowledgeable. We got to learn very interesting facts about the samurai and the specific house we were in. We saw a demonstration from the master accompanied by flute playing, we did zen meditation and also some sword appreciation holding real swords. The best part, of course, was the sword training and slashing with a real samurai sword! First we learned the moves with wooden swords and then we all got to apply those moves with a real one. The master was very kind and patient and explained everything throughout the session, always looking out for our safety as well. It was very exciting! I definitly recommend it for anyone who wants a real samurai experience.

Great time at fish market/sushi making class

It was a great way to see the fish market. Our guide showed us the different areas within the fish market and made some great recommendations on things to try. The sushi making class was also one of the highlights of the trip and we ended up enjoying the food we had made.
