Mia_P, Oct 2026

A fantastic introduction to sake with Tadashi!

This small group sake tasting was fantastic. A great introduction to sake including production, process and sampling of many different types. We learned what we liked - where to buy and got great local recommendations from our host, Tadashi. He was informative, enthusiastic and entertaining and we throughly enjoyed the experience. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo wishing to learn about and enjoy sake! Arigato, Tadashi!

the SUMO show - Sumo & Dining Experience at Dosukoi Tanaka Tokyo

Charles_L, Oct 2026

A must to do.

This is a must if you’re in Tokyo. Way more fun and information than expected. Everyone one who wanted to challenge the wrestlers got to at two different points. The English was great and easy to understand. They were. very approachable. And great with young children. Little notes to go along with it bring a fork if that’s all you’re used to eating with and you need a phone to order drinks. To enter, do not go up the stairs it’s around the side.

A must-do Tokyo Experience!

We had an absolute blast on our go-kart tour through Tokyo! It was tremendously fun and easily one of the highlights of our trip. A massive thank you to our guide, Julian, for making us feel so safe throughout the entire ride. His hand signals were super clear, so that we always knew exactly where to go. He shared great info about the neighbourhoods we drove through and took fantastic photos of us along the way. Don't miss out on this experience - 10/10!

Highlight of our Tokyo trip!!!

My partner and I did this on our last night in Tokyo and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Yoshi was extremely attentive, entertaining and also doing the most to get great shots of us with beautiful sights behind us whilst in karts (Tokyo sky tree). Highly recommend !!! Felt like VIPs and so much fun zooming around the streets.

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.

Samurai Training Tokyo Asakusa

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.

Exceeded expectations. Well run.

It really exceeded my expectations. The sword training was fun but not silly. Plenty of time for photos. Our instructor Kenny was super nice and knowledgeable. Our class had 10 people. My teenagers and i enjoyed the sword fighting (1 hr) as well as the cultural museum tour afterward (1hr). The tour had about 20 people. The tour ended with a shiraken throwing contest for the entire group. My wife did the tour only but she was allowed to watch our sword training.

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.

Small group, great instructors, great menu. We each prepared our own meal. We leaned techniques in Japanese cooking cuisine ,about the ingredients they use. I fell in love with Japanese cuisine and intend to practice it at home. We were not hungry but we ate it all. In the following days bought the egg pan , cooking tools and a lot of spices.

A heartwarming experience

We had a great time with Taka-san and his wife. Their hospitality went beyond simply teaching us a few authentic japanese recipes and culture. It was their warmth and kindness that stuck with us the most long after the experience. The thoughtful gifts for the kids as well as their patience in answering never-ending questions and sharing their knowledge will be forever cherished.
