Shibamata tours

This was an absolutely fantastic experience, my son loved it, and so did it! A unique opportunity to see a Japanese tradition up close. It was easy to meet our guide, Taka, at the meeting point, he spoke perfect English and gave us all the information about Sumo and it's history. We enjoyed watching the Sumo wrestlers practise, and loved having our photo taken with them at the end. They were all friendly and it was a unique experience. Thank you Taka!

I was hesitant to book at first because the post lacks information. But don’t be afraid the operator will contact you the day before the tour. Tell them what you want to experience or where to go. They will give recommendations. And will meet you on your preferred time, they can even come and get you to your hotel. Our tour turns out Great! our tour guide was Amazing he is very friendly and very nice guy! He took care of me and my husband throughout our tour. It feels like exploring shinjuku wt shibuya with a friend, we enjoyed our tour very much! Plus he thought us how to navigate the Train which is very very helpful since it was our first time in tokyo.

thank you for the service Muhammad! I am happy with the help rendered and also helping us to find Chinese food

Wonderful! We were anxious about finding our way around Tokyo, especially bus and train transit. Mariko met us at our hotel, she helped us navigate the trains and even explained all of the lines to us. on our way to our destination, she gave us a history teaching about the Meiji Shrine, she taught us how to make an origami samurai hat, she was super sweet and kind. We visited Harijuku, shibuya and she showed us the way to our next adventure. Highly recommend the private tour! we had 5 in our group and it was great to ask questions and have a personal guide for our first day! Mariko was truly and treasure.

Linda was kind and down to business, she made it clear what times to get back on the bus so we would not miss it. Good hiking at the last stop where the Pagoda is. The lunch ranged from 2000-3500 yen, but coffee/soft drinks/refills were free.

Highly recommending this trip to whoever is planning to go to Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Our tour guide Ms. Amy has been helpful and she shared some tips / insights during the trip. Everything went smoothly as planned in the itinerary including the departure and arrivals times despite the drizzling weather. Thanks as well to our driver Mr. Naganawa

You will enjoy this tour if you are interested in understanding the sumo culture of Japan and learning how the wrestlers practice everyday. In the session I joined, I was able to watch the morning practice of the junior as well as the senior sumo wrestlers, which is a very authentic and interesting experience. The guide also taught us a few interesting facts about sumo after we watched the practice. I would recommend this trip to those who want to learn about this unique Japanese culture.

The experience started off on a disappointing note as my guide wasn’t there to meet me in the lobby. Due to a system glitch, the local company didn’t have my booking. However, they quickly reached out via WhatsApp and resolved the issue. My guide, Firas, arrived within an hour and took me on an incredible tour. Beyond his deep knowledge of the city, Firas is a wonderful person. The day was filled with cultural sites, exploring the old town, tasting traditional snacks, shopping, and capturing amazing photos. He truly turned things around, making it an unforgettable experience. Tip: To be on the safe side, I recommend contacting the guide in advance to reconfirm your booking. Highly recommend Firas—he’s the best guide you could ask for!
