Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Nihombashi Station

I booked a 2-hour Tokyo Bay tour from Asakusa Station. It said to arrive 15 minutes early, so I went 30 minutes beforehand to be safe. I was worried it might be canceled due to the rain, so I asked, and they said it could be canceled, but we could still go if we wanted. My friend and I really wanted to go, so we said yes. After presenting our driver's license, passport, and international driver's permit, filling out some paperwork, and listening to the instructions, we moved to where the carts were and got on. Despite the rain, my friend and I had so much fun, and the staff were incredibly kind, supporting us from the front and back. It would have been better if it hadn't rained, but the rain actually made it more romantic and enjoyable. I highly recommend trying this at least once, no matter which route you take! :)

Isang araw bago ang biyahe, ipapadala ang email para sa impormasyon ng pagtitipon. Maaga sa umaga, nagtipon kami sa Exit 2 ng Nihonbashi, kung saan naghihintay si Momo, ang tour guide, na may hawak na karatula. Bago makarating sa mga atraksyon, nagpapaliwanag din ang tour guide sa iba't ibang wika. Sa Amanohashidate (cable car), ang paligid ng sandbar ay tahimik at maganda, at napakalinaw ng tubig. Ang Ine no Funaya (boat tour para pakainin ang mga seagull at agila) ay isang natatanging karanasan para sa mga matatanda at bata, ngunit sayang at ang mga boat house ay makikita lamang mula sa malayo habang nasa bangka. Ang Miyama-cho thatched-roof village ay isang tahimik na lugar kung saan masisiyahan ka sa lokal na kultura. Medyo malayo ang biyahe sa pagkakataong ito, kaya medyo masikip ang iskedyul, ngunit may mga pagkakataon para magpahinga sa daan. Ang paglalaan ng isang araw para sa bus tour sa gitna ng libreng paglalakbay sa Osaka ay isang napakatalinong desisyon!

A great choice for food lovers wanting to explore the Nihonbashi area with a knowledgeable local guide. As a couple with a reasonable familiarity with Japanese cuisine, we still found real value — the tour takes you to places you simply wouldn't find on your own, and the surprising discoveries were some of the highlights. It also saves the considerable effort of researching and locating these spots yourself, which alone is worth a lot in an unfamiliar city. We happened to visit during a quiet period, making it an entirely private tour — a welcome bonus. Our guide was strong on both food and history, though a little more depth on some of the sites visited — such as the shrine on the itinerary — would round the experience out further. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and easy to recommend. (The tour is by walking, so I'm not sure any rating on travel is warranted)

I highly recommend booking Shibuya Sky in advance for the very first time slot at 10:00 AM. From 10:00 AM onwards, visitors enter continuously by time slot, and since people don't just stay for an hour—many stay much longer—congestion builds up on the observation deck between the earlier and later groups. The more crowded it gets, the harder it is to take photos or comfortably enjoy the view. This applies to both Shibuya Sky and Tokyo Skytree. Personally, I preferred the structure of Shibuya Sky (45th floor, glass walls, open-air space, rooftop) over Tokyo Skytree (maximum height 634m, observation deck at 450m, entirely indoors). However, Tokyo Skytree might be a better choice during very hot or cold weather. Booking online through Klook is great because you can get about a 10% discount. Nowadays, if you don't book online in advance, it's practically impossible to buy tickets on-site.

It was a great experience. I got chopsticks that I made myself, and they turned out amazing. My boyfriend chose Sonokeling wood; it's hard, but he did a great job. I liked Yakusugi; it was my favorite type of wood from the first time I saw it.

Talagang napakagandang karanasan! Parang mahiwaga ang maglakad sa loob ng 'Borderless' na mundo. Lubos kong inirerekomenda sa lahat. Napakamura rin. Sana lang nalaman ko nang nag-book ako na alas-10 ng gabi ang sara (slot ng 8:30 ng gabi) dahil hindi na tumatanggap ng order ang cafe pagkatapos ng alas-9 ng gabi, kaya isaisip ito kapag nag-book!

This is such an amazing experience! The water section was by far our favorite. This is great for couples or friends or families. They had some neat areas especially for kids! I definitely recommend picking the earliest spot in the day as it gets busier as the day progresses.

Amazing experience. Rick is very calm and patient, an excellent tutor. This was honestly a really cool shake affordable experience and I have memories that will last forever from this... and a fancy new pair of chopsticks! 😁

I booked this and the Kintsugi art class they offer and was so impressed. The staff were amazing and the place is amazing! My husband and I started with making chopsticks. They have a couple you can choose from that were included or you can upgrade to some other chopstick options. We went with the ones included. We worked with Umar and he was so patient and kind to explain each step of the process. For a small additional fee you can also have your name engraved in Japanese which we did! I would highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Tokyo!
