Unforgettable Tokyo Evening Tour with Ikebus and Traditional Experiences - I joined this evening tour and had a wonderful experience from start to finish! One of the highlights was hopping on the Ikebus, a cute red electric bus that runs around Ikebukuro. It was a relaxing and unique way to enjoy the evening views of Tokyo. I also joined a ninja experience, which turned out to be so much fun. The instructors were very friendly and patient, and they taught me several techniques. I’m not sure I’ll ever use them in real life, but it was an unforgettable and entertaining activity. After that, I had time to relax at a local sento (public bath). It was the perfect way to unwind and experience a traditional part of Japanese culture. Finally, I enjoyed sake tasting, including my favorite plum sake. It was the perfect ending to the day. Overall, the tour was well-organized, varied, and full of unique experiences. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo!

The Perfect Mix of Culture, Connection & Onsen Bliss! - This tour was such a lovely experience! It’s not about being entertained all day, but about connecting with super friendly locals who make you feel instantly welcome. The team was so kind and fun to talk with — it felt like exploring Tokyo with new friends rather than a typical tour! We got to see some of the best spots around Ikebukuro, learning interesting bits of Japanese culture along the way. The atmosphere was relaxed and full of good vibes. The highlight for me was finishing the evening at a super cute local onsen — the perfect way to unwind and feel like a true Tokyo local. ✨ If you want a cozy, genuine, and culturally rich experience in Tokyo, this tour is absolutely worth it. :)

Day trip around Ikebukuro! - I had a great time during this tour! We took a local eco-friendly bus and drove around Ikebukuro while listening to interesting facts from a tour guide. I also really enjoyed the sento, they allow people with tattoos, so I had no trouble getting inside. The ninja experience was also super fun, definitely felt like a movie character:)

Wonderful discovery cruise through Ikebukuro - That was a wonderful afternoon with the red Ikebus. We had a great guide, Nobuhidesan, very funny and entertaining, could answer all questions entertainingly and understandably, and that in good English. He was able to tell us a lot about local idiosyncrasies, was obviously popular in the neighborhood and was greeted friendly everywhere. The bus is a technical feature with its five axles, and came well through the narrow side streets of the neighboring part of Otsuka. The ninja school we first visited gave an exciting insight into the history of the spies of the time, and the "ninja training" was fun with the whole group. You also felt pretty cool in the ninja outfit that was provided! Afterwards, in a beautiful drive through the otherwise less frequently seen quiet local alleys, we went to Myōhō-yu Sento, a typical Japanese neighbourly bathhouse. This is, even though I have already visited some bathhouses, always a great and very relaxing experience. Here especially through the microbubbles, fine bubbles bubble, which make the water appear milky. Finally, we could admire the Insta-famous view at Shiinamachi train station, which is very popular because of its urban romance. Without the tour, I wouldn't have found the place here so easily. It was a great afternoon with a wonderful group, an experience you can highly recommend!

Fun Japanese activities gathered in Tokyo! - I personally had a very great time on this tour. The experience of being a ninja, getting into a Japanese bath and wrapped up the day with some all you can drink Japanese sake. If you only have very limited time visiting or on a business trip with one day to spare in Tokyo and would love a taste of some fun unique Japanese activities, this one’s for you!

Experience Japanese culture on a red bus - This trip will experience Japanese culture in all areas under the guidance of a lovely red dedicated bus. Red electric trolley is one of the new features of the pool bag, with a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour around the pool bag, there are many children on the road to see but also handshake very cute. Although Ike-ojisan is not fluent in English, it is interesting to understand. The first destination is the ninja experience, from dress up to the experience of hand swords, knives, play short. You can also take many memorable photos and videos, which are very worth it. The second destination is to experience money soap, although the bath is slightly smaller, but there is also a spray bath and (slightly rare) electric bath, is a very interesting experience. Finally, experience Japanese wine. There are many Japanese wines from Gansu to Sinchu, and you can easily experience Japanese wine without daring to drink alcohol. The whole trip is a very special experience and does not go to crowded places. Recommended for travelers who want to experience culture in Tokyo and don't want to be crowded!

The perfect journey to learn Japanese ninja, soak soup and drink Japanese wine with ninjas - Ikebukuro's red bus is super cute, with 10 small wheels side by side and specially designed windows for viewing. From the start of the bus ride, the enthusiastic and humorous presentations by the guides and translators instantly felt like they were integrated into local life. I went to the ninja experience first, and there just weren't many people this day, so I arranged a full set of experiences for us, practicing the nine-character talisman, sword and dart in hand, sword and sword practice, and the whole process came down feeling very satisfying. Then he went to soak up the soup, and it turned out to be in the town of Shangming, and it was no effort to photograph the famous punch-up spot, the seafood restaurant "Fishbow" tavern, anime into reality said that this is it. After the soup, Mi Mi Mi went to a Japanese wine BAR that she could drink freely. Different kinds of Japanese wines from all over Japan fill the entire wine cabinet, I've had about 10 drinks, there's a rice wine-like super delicious, two consecutive drinks of haha ha ~ the next wine dish is also delicious ~ Overall quite satisfying, if you can go with friends should have more fun ~

Japanese culture experience in Ikebukuro - A true acquaintance who wanted to tour the local area. I participated in the package tour organized by the company. Looking around Ikebukuro and indirectly the culture of Japan. It was good to be able to experiment. The guide is in English, but I can hardly speak English. My Japanese friend helped me. Totally called IKEBUS Red electric bus operated in Ikebukuro Move on board. The Kido-Koro Award is a famous local residence in Ikebukuro. Whenever you give us guidance, the villagers come and say hello. Local children shake their hands every time the bus passes by. My childhood memories of riding the opposite seat to see the window in a bus. As I thought about it, I heard a sense of relaxation in the countryside. I honestly thought the ninja experience would be fun. I think it's a recreation and it would be good to participate. I was a little ashamed, but throwing flags was fun. It becomes an enormous exercise and it sweats a lot. The bathroom is small but it feels like everything is clean. I have a tattoo, and I'm glad I could get in. I think it would be better if we brought clothes. Finally I went to a bar called SHUBO. It was really nice to have been able to taste a few different sacks. Anjo gave me all of this and it was delicious. Especially I was delicious with big bang. If you want to make a local and mining trip to Japan as a whole I recommend you. Maybe someone in Korea has had this experience. How long I want to be. It is a guide to experience Japanese culture. The unlikely point is a slightly uncomfortable schedule on Thursday. Tour arrangements that Westerners would like and The tour cost is a bit expensive. I and my acquaintance have what the guide explains. I almost understood through Ken. If you can't speak English or Japanese, you can learn Japanese culture. You may find it difficult to understand.

Interesting and fun! - It was a very cool experience! I went to Ikebukuro many times but I still learnt many new things through this tour. Riding the super cute IKEBUS feels very special and our guide was super friendly and funny. During the ride you get a lot of info about the area and Japanese culture in general. The ninja experience was very fun (you actually get to learn a fight coreography!) and the sento was small but nice and local. I just wish we had more time cause the schedule was very tight and we had to rush some parts.
