Kyoto Arashiyama Private Yakatabune: Elegant Boat Ride to Enjoy Seasonal Scenery
A pleasant and scenic boat ride
Activity Date: 2026/06/22 | Posted on: 2026/06/23

It was a pleasant and scenic boat ride. The boatman pointed out various points of interest to us, and we had a very calm and relaxing ride on the river. It was a welcome respite after a long morning of hiking around the area.

【Hakata Port ⇔ Fukue Port (Fukue Island)】Nomo-Shosen Ferry "TAIKO" Reservation
Very nice experience
Activity Date: 2026/05/23 | Posted on: 2026/06/13

Very pleasant night trip from Fukuoka to Fukue island of the Goto island. Nice private cabins with a large window offering beautiful views after the sun starts to rise. Clean and convenient bathrooms nearby. Very reasonable price. I slept well and enjoyed the 9 hours trip (from 11:30 pm to 08:30 am approximately).

Packages: Hakata Port ⇒ Fukue Port
Tips and suggestions

There are drinks available inside, but not much food. Better bring some if needed.

Flexible Okinawa Private Taxi Tour with Local Driver and Alphard Luxury
Amazing experience with Mr. Kawashima
Activity Date: 2026/06/08 | Posted on: 2026/06/13

My family and I decided to book an Alphard through Veltra from the airport to our hotel (5-hour tour). We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Shiro Kawashima as our driver and tour guide. This was our first time visiting Okinawa, and we hadn’t done much planning in advance. Mr. Kawashima took the time to make recommendations for a lunch destination, and show us pamphlets for great spots to check out that were between the airport and hotel. He was an excellent driver, very patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Okinawa. We had such an amazing experience that we decided to book him a couple days later for an 8-hour tour to the aquarium and some other destinations, which was even better. The car was very comfy and would be great for a family of up to 5, I would say. All in all, if you want excellent service, a comfortable ride, and a knowledgeable guide to help you maximize your time in Okinawa, I would highly recommend Mr. Kawashima! Thank you!

Tips and suggestions

When you book through the site, put in a few ideas of where you’d like to go even if you're unsure.

Kagoshima Private Charter Sightseeing from/to Marine Port Kagoshima
Pleasant private tour
Activity Date: 2026/05/31 | Posted on: 2026/06/10

Our driver was prompt in meeting us at the port for our shore excursion with friends. His English wasn't great, but he was very adept at using google translate to narrate what we were passing by and where we were going. We had great communication ahead of time with the company to indicate where we wanted to go and he got us to the Kamikaze museum, (we spent about an hour) and to the samurai gardens, even showing the way and where to pay (if you don't know that you may enter at the wrong end of the street.) He picked us up at the end, which saved us a long walk back up the pedestrian street.
We liked our itinerary because it got us inland and showed us the beautiful green hills of that part of Japan. We returned to the ship with plenty of time. If you know what you want to see (we compared itineraries with the ship's shore excursion) and can share a car this is a very cost-effective way to see a port stop.

Packages: Standard Car(up to 4 passengers)
Tips and suggestions

This is a driver and vehicle-not an accompanied tour. Make sure you have Google translate.

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio
Wonderful creative experience!
Activity Date: 2026/05/23 | Posted on: 2026/06/07

I had been searching for an authentic artistic experience in Tokyo that felt like it wasn’t just created for tourists. This class fit the bill perfectly, and Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro Kuge were wonderful instructors. They have been running a ceramics studio for over 50 years and teaching the art of kintsugi for 40 years. They have full, months-long apprenticeships but also do one-day workshops as an introduction. We learned a lot in their tiny studio, and our college-age artist plans to continue the practice at home. Our hosts even gave us a shopping list for supplies! (The supplies were available locally at Hands department store in Shinjuku and elsewhere.)

The afternoon was relaxed, including tea and snacks provided by our hosts. They wrapped our creations securely in plastic containers to take home. The tea cups we repaired are food safe too, which I saw is not the case for other classes.

I highly recommend this experience. It was truly a highlight of our trip!

Tips and suggestions

The location is near Koenji, a fun neighborhood to explore for thrifting and music.

This was such an amazing time! It was so relaxing to sit in the boat just the two of us. We brought a couple beers and bought two more from the floating market. People packed like sardines in the other boats for half the time were shouting "How'd you get your own boat?" Lol. I highly recommend it! And would pay more to go longer. Our boat driver was awesome!

Whale Shark Snorkeling – Swim & Snap Photos with the World's Largest Fish! <From Yomitan>
Amazing experience!
Activity Date: 2026/04/27 | Posted on: 2026/04/30

Snorkeling with whale sharks in Okinawa was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tom. From the start, he explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared before getting in the water. Throughout the experience, he was attentive, patient, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone had a great time.

Seeing a whale shark up close was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and Tom made sure we didn’t miss a second of it. His calm guidance and knowledge added so much to the experience, turning something incredible into something seamless and stress-free. If you’re considering this, having a guide like Tom makes all the difference.

Self-Propelled Wheelcha Rental Service at Narita International Airport Terminal 1, South Wing 1F
Smooth and Supportive Wheelchair Rental Experience

I rented a self-propelled wheelchair from Narita Airport and used it during my stay in Sendai. The staff who assisted us were very kind and guided us clearly through the entire process. The wheelchair was convenient and made my daily activities at the university much easier.

When I needed help with returning the wheelchair, the team responded quickly and supported me in extending the return deadline. They also kindly allowed me to send it back via delivery service instead of returning it in person, which was very helpful.

I truly appreciate their thoughtful and reliable service.

【Hakata Port ⇔ Fukue Port (Fukue Island)】Nomo-Shosen Ferry "TAIKO" Reservation
Easy ferry ride but bring nausea meds if you are prone to sea sickness
Activity Date: 2026/04/03 | Posted on: 2026/04/25

The ferry was really nice. There's a microwave! Instant noodles on board + drinks. I got the dorm bed and that was easy and comfy. The view was really nice.

Personally for me I had really bad sea sickness 😔 the heating was also way too high indoors so that didn't help. Thankfully I was able to lie down in the dorm bed and sleep it off.

This aside pretty easy and spacious ferry. Internet was great except in dorm rooms (upstairs) were a bit spotty

Time Trip Taxi - See Edo Japan While Traveling Through Modern Tokyo
Time traveled through Tokyo before even reaching Asakusa
Activity Date: 2026/03/28 | Posted on: 2026/04/19

I’ve lived in Tokyo for 10 years and thought I’d seen it all — but Time Trip Taxi genuinely surprised me. What looks like a regular taxi ride from Tokyo Station to Asakusa transforms into an immersive AR journey through Edo-period Japan. The moment the visuals kick in and modern Tokyo fades into old Edo, you completely forget you’re just sitting in a cab. The virtual guide walks you through the history in such an engaging way that by the time you step out in Asakusa, you see the whole area with completely different eyes. The temple, the streets, the atmosphere — everything hits differently when you actually know the story behind it. The transition between the AR visuals and the real city is seamless and so well done. Honestly one of the most unique and memorable experiences I’ve had in Japan.

Packages: Departure from Tokyo Station to Asakusa
Tips and suggestions

Take this before visiting Asakusa rather than after — the history context makes your whole visit so

Tom is a knowledgeable and interactive Scuba certified English speaking guide. This was my first time snorkeling; got to see a whale shark (jinbei) and made it back alive because Tom’s instructions were clear and helpful. Tom is also an avid sea life photographer; his photos are better than anything I could have taken.
