What are people saying about Japan

Melanie_B, Oct 2026

Omar is great guide. Highly recommend

Omar was a great tour guide for our trip to Mt Fuji. Spoke very good English, was engaging and very knowledgeable. We unfortunately didn’t get to see the peak of Mt Fuji when we arrived at the 5th Station. We slowly watched the cloud come over. We did catch glimpses of it in the car ride up. I think the day before it should be discussed with the operator a plan for the tour. This way time isn’t wasted trying to figure out to do on the day. We really enjoyed the speed boat tour and visiting the lakes.

Mount Fuji Full Day Sightseeing Tour from Tokyo

Jasmine_D, Oct 2026

We had an amazing day...

We had an amazing day exploring Hakone with Taiyo! He was incredibly informative, organised and had a great sense of humour, making the day so enjoyable. We visited over 7 beautiful stops, with stunning Mt Fuji views, traditional food and gorgeous landscapes. It was definitely a highlight of our Japan trip. We cannot recommend Taiyo and this tour enough!

1-Day Tokyo Bus Tour

Donna_S, Oct 2026

The Tokyo bus tour was...

The Tokyo bus tour was very much liked by me and my husband. It Incorporated a full day of interesting sites and fun things to do. Aya was our tour guide; she was very knowledgeable giving us just the right amount of history and knowledge for us to enjoy the experience. There was also plenty of free time for us to enjoy areas on our own.

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

David_T, Oct 2026

An early start but well worth the effort for a full-on day of activity taking in the slopes of Mount Fuji , a cable car ride over an active volcano , sailing on a pirate ship although neither Jack Sparrow nor Johnny Depp were to be seen and all capped off with a Bullet Train ride back to Tokyo - brilliant !

Tokyo Shinjuku Sumo Show & Experience with Photo

Ian_C, Oct 2026

Great Experience

We had wanted to attend the Grand Sumo Tournament whilst we were in Tokyo but tickets sold out quickly so settled for this Show & Experience and we pleased that we did. Experiencing sumo in this way enabled us to understand more about the history of the sport as well as the rules and we wouldn't have got that from just attending the tournament. We got to understand how the wrestlers train and the key moves - big thanks to Waka & Ryusei for putting on such an engaging show where there were also plenty of laughs. The show costs c£60 per person and lasts c90mins - you get a free drink (soft or alcoholic) upon arrival and have the opportunity to 'fight' the wrestlers - 6 people get picked from those who have expressed an interest in fighting so its lucky dip. There is also an opportunity to have your photo taken with the wrestlers at the end of the show - really enjoyable experience.

This tour is a wonderful combination of a grazing food as well as cultural understanding. Our guide, Kei, imparted incredible knowledge about the array of dishes and drinks we had as well as the background on each place we ate. Along the way we learned of the various districts and history of the neighborhoods while being awed by the sights and sounds of the city. And the amount of food doesn't leave you hungary! Pure fun!

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.

sayde_l, Oct 2026

A nice evening out

This was an entertaining evening. If you are looking for serious sumo, this is not for you. This was a warm, family friendly event with good background into sumo. Jeremy the emcee was pleasant as were all the staff. The performers were entertaining and very good natured. The food was tasty.

Official Street Go-Kart in Shibuya

Deborah_O, Sept 2026

So much fun!

Ryuya our tour driver was alot of fun! We dressed up in their costumes, watched a quick safety video and headed out into the streets. It was a very fun experience and waving at all the children on the sidewalks brought huge smiles to their faces. One of the carts in our group had some glitches which was frustrating and the guys working the front office came across as crabby. Otherwise we had an excellent experience!
