“The bus ride to 5th station was smooth & safe. Our tour guide, Shige, was a wealth of information for our particular destinations as well as glimpses of life in Japan. Figured at the start that we won’t be seeing Mt. Fuji due to inclement weather, and it’s ok. All in all, the tour was a great start for us in Japan.”

“It was nice to take a tour to several places including the extra view areas as a sightseeing. Thank you so much!”

“This was an unforgettable and truly authentic experience. Sensei Sumida-san was patient, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about samurai culture. He guided us through the history, philosophy, and sword techniques with great care, making every moment meaningful. Watching his demonstration at the end was mesmerizing — precise, graceful, and full of spirit.”

“Such a fantastic experience! The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, which made the learning curve feel easy and enjoyable. Wearing the outfit was so much fun, and we got to shoot plenty of arrows. I’d highly recommend this to anyone curious about trying a new style of archery!”

“The instructions were very good and the instructors were kind and patient. Lots of fun.”

“Unfortunately cloud covering top of Mt Fuji but this didn’t detract from the experience. Lake Ashi cruise was beautiful.”

“Such an amazing experience, the matcha, candies and Yurika playing the koto was fenomenal. Yurika was so nice and speaks very good English so it can help you with any request”

“awesome performance and the outdoor stage and surrounding National Park was awe inspiring.”

“Amazing energy throughout the whole show! This is almost a private experience. We were around thirty people seating in three rows of a theatre with the band a few metres from us. The musicians tried to engage the public to the maximum, making the show absolutely memorable. As an added bonus, we got to take pictures with the band after the show.”

“Totally recommend the show! A combination of music, theatrical performance and dance. Guys, if you don't watch it, your Osaka experience will never be complete! The team are doing a great job indeed. Also watched the drums performance (look for it here too). It was a blast! The musical instruments, talent and drive of the team are absolutely fantastic! You will love it, I promise.”

“This was a highlight of our trip! Unique, beautiful! Initially we though 4 Hours is a lot, but in reality there are 4 plays With 30 mins intermissions between each of them. Each episode is different, different season, different heroes, and the conclusions. Must visit! Highly recommend!”

“Fun experience if you are going to Tokio more than 4 days as you have to take in mind it takes 3.30h it was in a great area to visit after. You can take food for the two brakes there is or go outside. A really nice and authentic experience. The English audioguide is perfect. Just don’t expect the stories to have a closed finish. We had three acts with 3 unrelated and unfinished stories. Very insightful into their culture.”

“We had such a good experience. Our teacher was so so friendly and patient with us, and there was one of his students present who translated for us. She was also very welcoming and kind. We learned a lot about Kyudo, which we didn't expect, in addition to learning how to use the bow. The practice is much more involved than we thought, and we came to really appreciate the level of skill involved. There was a small group of four which meant each of us was given plenty of time and attempts. Our teacher gave a lot of assistance when we struggled, and we all hit the target at…”

“My partner and I had an amazing and meaningful time at the training session with Sumida-Sensei. We learned so many incredible facts about Samurai swords, culture, and history in a really fun and engaging format. The physical training was very difficult, but also fun and satisfying. There was a perfect balance of high expectation and friendly encouragement. Yes, you will be sore the next days! Work hard and welcome the opportunity! Sumida-sama and his staff were very warm, welcoming, open, and informative. Safety is emphasized throughout the training experience. We loved every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat. From the partner (Lionel) This session will…”

“I had a great time! I was picked up at Kyoto Station as promised and it was hard to miss the sign near the Central Exit kiosk! Once we were on out way, we had a chance to get to know one another and some of the exciting parts of the Kyoto and the Taiko store we were going to! Once there, I met the teacher and started learning the history of taiko alongside some neat facts about the instrument itself! From there, the playing began! It was a very fun time and everyone was very patient with me as I worked through the measures! I would greatly recommend this…”
