A Warm and Welcoming Start to Our Japan Trip - With two children under 10, I was nervous about navigating Japan at first. This short tour gave us exactly what we needed — practical tips, cultural insights, and a friendly face to ask questions. The guide made us feel truly welcome, and staying near our hotel made everything easy. My kids especially loved the small food tasting!

Stress-Free Cultural Experience for the Whole Family - This tour made our first day in Japan so much smoother.

Great for Families with Kids — Easy and Educational! - As a mom traveling with two kids, I really appreciated how easy this tour was. We didn’t have to go far — it started right near our hotel. The guide was incredibly kind and patient with our children. We learned how to ride the trains, local manners, and what to expect in Japan. The local snacks were a big hit with the kids, too! A short tour, but full of heart.

Perfect Local Tour Right Near Our Hotel! - This tour was exactly what we needed on our first day in Japan. Instead of going far, we got to explore the area around our hotel with a friendly English-speaking guide. We learned about Japanese manners, how to use public transport, and even got some tips for the rest of our trip. The short duration made it easy to join with our travel schedule, and the local snacks were a great bonus!

Perfect Tour for First-Time Visitors - We’re a family from the U.S. visiting Japan with our 7-year-old. This tour was perfect for first-timers! Our kid loved learning simple Japanese like counting and ordering food. We also learned how to use trains and taxis, which really helped. So glad we did this on our first day!

- I enjoyed this tour with my family. However, we experienced an unfortunate situation. Our original flight to Japan was scheduled to arrive at 3:50 PM, and I had booked this tour for the same day at 7:00 PM. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled, and we were rebooked for the following day. When I contacted the tour operator, I was informed that a refund could not be issued. I requested to reschedule for the next day but was told that was not possible and that I would need to rebook entirely. As this was my first visit to Japan, I found it challenging to navigate the subway system. In order to make the most of the experience, I ended up rebooking. Despite the initial difficulties, our tour guide, Ryo, was excellent and made the tour worthwhile.

They were unable to fulfill our booked tour. - They were unable to fulfill our booked tour, offered us another later slot and the chance of a refund if it did not suit. We cancelled and accepted the offered refund, several hours later, as yet we have not heard back regarding this.
