The extremely charming local guide Koji led us through the evening with enthusiasm, humor, and impressive knowledge. In two charming izakayas, we savored a variety of delicious dishes and immersed ourselves in authentic Japanese after-work life. The fugu, accompanied by exquisite side dishes, was particularly unforgettable – a true culinary experience. We were also thrilled by the three variations of fish roe, as well as the tender horse sashimi and other gastronomic highlights. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening that we highly recommend to everyone!

We took the tour with Shun! It was great! We took 6 drinks and chocolate. He explained Japan history and we even talked about our country! So much fun!

Very knowledgeable English speaking guide. Went to Snow Monkey Park and Obuse. Truly entertaining offering fun facts about the areas we were passing through. One of the best guided tours I have ever taken.

Akina was very kind and knowledgeable on everything Studio Ghibli. He took the time to explain and gave us a great introduction before we explored the Ghibli museum.

Our visit to the Snow Monkey Park and the town of Obuse would not have been the same without our guide Hori. Before our trip, he shared the itinerary and updated us on changes in the weather and logistics. During the trip, Hori ensured we made it to the park before it was crowded. This is something that would not have been possible without his level of familiarity with the local transit system. During the tour, Hori shared information about the park, the wildlife, and the history of Obuse. The value that this added to our visit cannot be understated. For those considering a guide to the Monkey Park, having Hori as a guide is worth its weight in gold. Not only will he ensure your trip is memorable, but his time management skills ensure you can enjoy the visit without having to worry about catching the next train, bus, etc. Thank you Hori!

This was a really cool tour with some great food! For those who want to try things like fugu and horse sashimi, this is definitely your tour. But it's also great for less adventurous palates too! Our guide, Koji, did a great job of accommodating the tastes of everyone on the tour and made sure that everyone walked away full and happy. The tour was worth every penny and is a great way to spend an evening in Tokyo!

Incredible time, incredible whisky, excellent company - Duke was wonderful and gave us some great history. Duke was an excellent resource and incredibly thoughtful in his explanations Japanese whisky tradition. His enthusiasm has left us wanting for more. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

We showed up to the whisky tasting and were greeted with a unique environment to enjoy our drinks. Shun was highly knowledgeable and was engaging to our conversation. He guided us through the experience with class and with grace. The whisky itself was very tasty and was presented with rich history. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who has the time in Tokyo, local or tourist.

Shun San did a great job! He accommodated changes in our schedule so we'll and had a lot of knowledge about whisky. We had a great time

Our guide Duke took us to some great places to eat that would have been hard for someone who is not a local to find. His English was great as well and my kids found him entertaining as well. We had a variety of foods and he also gave some history regarding the area we were in as well of different types of Japanese cuisine.

A wonderful experience! Communication was easy for booking with Kate at Japan Awaits. There were 8 of us and the evening was delightful. The translator helped with communication. The geisha and apprentice (forget the official name) were wonderful in interacting with us. An authentic experience which is what we were looking for. The dinner was good but it was the geisha experience which made the evening special for us. I definitely recommend and would do it again if returning to Tokyo.

It was a good tour, the tour guide was really kind and friendly. Unfortunately the drawing class was too short in my opinion.

Shun was an amazing guide, I had such an amazing time. The time flew by, wish it lasted longer. I would recommend this tour without a doubt.

Shun-San was great! He took us to try amazing food, especially foods I've never had before!! Sashimi, hot pot, and fried food! No spoilers but all the food was incredibly unique!!

We decided to take this tour after wanting to learn a bit more about Shintoism and we were in Japan for our Honeymoon. We have a great time, learnt loads about Shinto and the Japanese culture in general. We were taken to three completely different shrines and the travel between was easy. Hiro was very friendly and really made this experience memorable for us. It felt like he was tailoring it to us as we walked around, he was attentive and no question was too much. Definitely an experience I would suggest anyone who has an interest in Japanese culture and Shintoism to go on. At the end he gave us some suggestions too for how we could spend the rest of our day based off of what we were interested. Definitely a brilliant memory for us, thank you :)
