Ryōgoku Kokugikan tours

Michiko was INCREDIBLE. if you’re lucky to be assigned her for your tour guide, she explained the history of Sumo, how it works, traditions, fun facts, and even provided great visuals to understand what we were watching. She elevated the experience to where we enjoyed the show to the fullest extent, the location itself, and were guided to the best souvenir shops. We were lucky to be a part of a small group. S class seats are the way to go! Best view of the house with some amazing takeaways treats!

Had an excellent time with our guide, Miguel! He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of historical information, personal insights, and was very accommodating throughout. Since there were 2 guides and 5 guests, they gave us the option to split up. We opted to split up, and the group tour became a private tour. We mostly rode on pedestrian lanes, but we also took the roads when there were too many people on the sidewalk. Miguel took photos of us and even generously recommended several places of interest. Thank you for the memorable experience, Miguel! :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! If you’re a fan of JDM culture, Fast & Furious, or just love cars, this experience is absolutely worth it. It doesn’t feel like a typical tourist tour—you really become part of the local car community. Seeing legendary cars, meeting passionate owners, driving through Tokyo at night, and visiting Daikoku PA created memories we’ll never forget. A special thank you to our driver, Timi. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from the very beginning. She made us feel comfortable, shared interesting stories, answered all our questions, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her passion for JDM culture really shows, and it made the night feel authentic and special. Thank you, Timi, and the whole Gaijin Tuned team for an unforgettable evening. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo!

The trip in the boat was wonderful, cozy, delicious and fun. Shera did a great job organizing everything and also interacted with us with quizzes and information through the ride. the vies at night were amazing and i completely recommend this activity, specially with shera in command.

Arigato To our guide, Toshi! We took a mercedes C180 all the way to APit, shibuya and also tokyo tower. My dad personally picked this tour as it is a hotel pickup compared to other tours which saves you the hassle of going to locations that may be far from you. In the end, it was an enjoyful experience and very worth it for money.

This fireworks festival experience exceeded all expectations! The fireworks designs were so unique, it was truly romantic and unforgettable! The fact that the entire trip was so perfect is all thanks to our guide, Ashley! Her professionalism and attention to detail deserve high praise! First, she is fluent in four languages, and on the tour bus, she was able to clearly explain all safety precautions, itinerary details, and methods to prevent us from getting lost in different languages, allowing travelers from different backgrounds to fully grasp the information and feel at ease. Secondly, Guide Ashley clearly did a lot of preparation beforehand, and she was extremely familiar with the local routes and event procedures. Not only was the journey smooth, but the return trip was also perfectly timed, perfectly avoiding crowds and traffic jams, allowing us to end the trip with a relaxed and happy mood. Throughout the entire process, she did not forget to take care of everyone, constantly reminding us to pay attention to road vehicles and which side to stand on for safety. This attentiveness is truly rare. In comparison, another accompanying guide seemed a bit unfamiliar with the terrain and arrangements, which made me appreciate Ashley's seriousness and reliability even more. If I really had to mention a small area for improvement, it would be to hope that the parking location could be closer to the venue in the future, so we could walk less. But overall, this was definitely a perfect experience!

Tour guide was organised and clear in his instructions. He gave some tips, suggestions and recommended trails on how to spend the time given for the places visited. We were given 80 min to explore the Hakone jinjja area. Time given was just right if you do not wait in line for the famous photo spot. Atami fireworks were phenomenal. We were given about 3hrs to have our dinner, shop at the Atami Ginza shopping street and watch the fireworks. A great day in Hakone & Atami indeed!

Brendan was really great! I saw his tour yesterday, and I’m at the Edo-Tokyo Museum today and so much makes more sense after having done his tour of the Imperial Palace. The explanations in the museum are a bit dry and dense with facts, and I don’t have a lot of connection to annecdotes which help me remember what happened and why. Brendan’s tour really helped fill in some of that for me, and provided me a much better context. I’d recommend to anyone — do his tour first, before the museum, for greater understanding!
