Ikebukuro P′PARCO tours

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!

Had the best time! They gave us a free shot of sake & some free tea/mochi at the end. Staff was friendly & the entertainers did an amazing job. We for sure recommend!

difficulty of the hike: medium difficulty, due to weather we could not reach the summit which was super disappointing and felt like we did not get our moneys worth.

My family and I had an absolutely great time! Our English speaking guide, “Momo”, made the experience even better. She was well prepared and made the experience efficient (e.g. quizzes and historical facts) while we were traveling from the Cat cafe to the temple. The cat cafe was pretty cool and meant for kids. I know it’s “cheaper”, but as a tourist, I think it’s more beneficial to learn about the history and culture especially at the cat temple than just merely petting cats and walking through a temple. I highly recommend this especially for families with elementary grade kids.

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.

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!

a well managed 1 day tour to mt fuji. Ayumi and emico was amazing. the whether was so clear that we can see mt fuji on 16th feb. the trip includes ski experience, one way cable car, one way cruise and shopping place.
