Tokyo Luxury Sumo Experience with Deluxe Japanese Cuisine

Mary_W, Jun 2026

Fantastic experience!

My expectations were low for this activity because it seemed like such a touristy activity. I was incredibly wrong!! I was blown away by how entertaining and engaging the show was, and by how good the unlimited food was. Typically, all-you-can eat shows have sub-par food, but this is not your typical show! We ordered three rounds of food and enjoyed every minute of the show. The host/MC was very engaging. They briefly explained the rules of history of sumo, then held brief demonstrations of sumo wrestling, before allowing the audience to volunteer to come on stage. I was one of the lucky few to be selected to go on stage and wrestle with my selected wrestler. This was such a great experience and I can’t say this enough- it really blew my expectations out of the water! I highly recommend if you want some entertainment, learn a little about sumo, eat while being entertained, and be goofy on stage wrestling a professional sumo wrestler. They give you a souvenir photo to take home. I will forever remember my experience as a sumo wrestler!

Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi

Yuks snd her team made our experience wonderful. The atmosphere of Ramen Dojo was relaxed and very fun. The Nicole making process was a lot of fun and very interactive and we thought all three Roman choices were delicious. We couldn’t pick a favorite! Highly recommended activity when you’re in Tokyo.

Nancy_S, Jun 2026

Delightful experience

This was one of the best trips I've taken through viator. The food choices were excellent as was the walk through Shibuya. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very fun and entertaining as well. If we had had more time I would have taken the one through Shinjuku as well.

Tokyo Traditional Geisha Show and Japanese Food Experience

ALEXANDRIA_M, May 2026

We had a very fun night....

We had a very fun night. The geishas were friendly and talkative.. We spoke with them for about 25 min prior to the show. They performed 3 acts which were entertaining and peaceful. We all played a game afterwards which was a lot of fun…The loser had to do a shot of sake. We took many photos with the geisha after the show. Overall a wonderful experience that we would recommend to travelers. The only downside was the food. We ate before the show because of the poor reviews about the food

Small-Group Wagyu Beef and 7 Japanese Dishes Tokyo Cooking Class

Hannah_W, Jan 2026

I had such a great...

I had such a great experience with this cooking class in Tokyo. The instructors were incredibly informative and explained everything in a way that felt approachable and easy to follow, even for someone who doesn’t regularly cook Japanese food. What I appreciated most was how accessible the recipes were — nothing felt intimidating or overly complicated, and each step was clearly explained. I left the class feeling genuinely confident and excited to try making Japanese dishes again once I got home. It was both educational and empowering, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a hands-on, thoughtful introduction to Japanese cooking.

Unique Private Cooking Class with a Tokyo Local Emi

Natalia_T, Dec 2025

Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend it!

I had an excellent experience with Emi's cooking lesson. From the first moment, her communication was excellent, her instructions to find the studio were spot-on, and her poise, personality and knowledge were amazing. I learnt how to cook three recipes, some tricks and alternative ingredients available in my country and we chatted over a shot of sake. Time flew, because her personality is magnetic. Do not skip this activity! It will be the highlight of your time in Tokyo!

An Award-Winning Izakaya Night Out — Bar-Hop Shibuya Like a Local

Amazing night out with a true local guide!

Naoki is the best drinking buddy and guide you could ever want in a city like Tokyo. He showed us some great hidden gems and gave us priceless local tips to getting around the bar scene in the city. Not to mention his vast knowledge of food! Easily the best bar hopping tour you can do in Shibuya.

Asakusa Classic Ramen & Crispy Gyoza Cooking Class

Jacqueline_W, Oct 2025

Best cooking class!

This is the second cooking class we have taken on our current Japan trip and this one is the ONE! We learned so much and had fun at this class. The food was so good. Our friends did the first class with us and not this one and we are so sad they missed this experience. I can not recommend this class enough!

Japanese Pottery Class in Tokyo

Michael_B, Sept 2025

Mr. Hoshi an old world master

Mr. Hoshi is an amazing pottery master, even though he is so modest. Very thorough and patient teaching brought the plate maker out of my wife and the cup maker out of me. We both layered the rice bowl as well. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty in tariffs and shipping, we were jot able to take our creations home. But we will return and do this again. The class size was small and you get a lot of help, attention, and praise from Mr.Hoshi. bravo!!!
