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

Whale Shark Snorkeling – Swim & Snap Photos with the World's Largest Fish! <From Yomitan>

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.

Yaeyama Firefly Viewing Tour
A Magical and Inspirational Experience
Activity Date: 2026/04/08 | Posted on: 2026/04/11

We loved the firefly trip because we've never seen so many of them in one place before. They seemed so beautiful and mysterious, accompanied by the heavenly sounds and smells of the forest at night.
We highly recommend this tour for any age of guest. The tour leader was brilliant and we understood everything although we do not really fully understand Japanese. We were also able to book quickly on the day of the tour, online, and this was really convenient.
Thank you again for the experience of a lifetime.

Tips and suggestions

Don't try to take photos. Someone near our group was using a camera and it was disruptive.

Time Trip Taxi - See Edo Japan While Traveling Through Modern Tokyo
A fun trip back to the Edo period
Activity Date: 2026/04/07 | Posted on: 2026/04/10

All in all, it was a great experience :) What I especially loved was that you were "accompanied" by several characters during the ride.

In addition, the taxi was extremely comfortable, the music was very entertaining, and even though I’ve been living in Tokyo for a few years now, I learned something new.

Amami Island E-bike Rental with Convenient Drop-off and Luggage Storage Service
Great way to see Amami
Activity Date: 2026/04/03 | Posted on: 2026/04/06

We rented the E Bikes on two separate days. The delivery and pick up at our hotel was a wonderful service. Hajime went above and beyond in customer service.

Bicycle riding on the island is a perfect way to get some exercise and see the sights. Drivers are courteous and traffic is sparse on the main and side roads. I highly recommend this opportunity!

Packages: [Second Person Free!] Limited-Time Monitor Offer

Give yourself a full day and plan on many stops for the views and beaches.

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa
Fantabulous time!!!
Activity Date: 2026/03/31 | Posted on: 2026/04/01

This was my second time here with my son and my friend from Japan joined for her first time and we all loved it. We had an English speaking instructor who was very helpful and showed us step-by-step what we needed to do to make our design how we wanted it. We practiced on a separate glass and that was so helpful to improve our technique. The instructor gave us additional tips along the way. It's so nice to take home such a unique product from our time spent in Japan.

Tips and suggestions

Be sure to bring reading glasses so you can see well.

I rode Time Trip Taxi yesterday and it was so much fun. I gained a lot of knowledge about Japanese history, it is very educative, useful, and efficient (learning while commuting). The concepts, AR, animations are very creative and engaging. The car is very clean and spacious.

I would recommend it to anyone and would love to ride it again to another routes. 🫶🏻

We had a fabulous time. Our driver is outstanding.

Despite that We had to communicate via Google translate. Everything went smoothly.

He's professional and thoughtful, drawing out a time schedule for us

He even made lunch reservations for us. The lunch place is family friendly and food is delicious.

Veltra was professional and supportive.
There were emails back and forth to finalized the itinerary of the trip cause the driver is only japanese speaking.

Half Day Ice Floe Trek and Waterfall Adventure In Abashiri
Snowshoe drift ice trekking at Abashiri
Activity Date: 2026/03/08 | Posted on: 2026/03/20

We had a great winter experience trekking with snowshoes to see the drift ice at Abashiri Hokkaido. Our guide Kaneko -san was excellent...spoke English and very professional in guiding us through the route where we saw deers, fox, birds and bear foot prints on the snow. We were rewarded with a beautiful sight of the drift ice off the sea shores (we can actually touch the drift ice) and Kaneko -san prepared for us hot chocolate drinks and biscuits. Had time for a small picnic and we took numerous photos of the drift ice and the nearby water fall. When you are at Abashiri, this is a must do activity... especially for us who come from a tropical country like Malaysia.

Okinawa Karate and Kobudo Experience in Nago or Nakijin Dojo with Cultural Insights
Beginner friendly
Activity Date: 2026/02/28 | Posted on: 2026/03/12

My friend and I had a great time at the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Dojo. As beginners with little to no experience in karate, we found the sensei who facilitated the class to be very patient while teaching us the fundamentals of the art.

We booked the appointment a few weeks in advance through the Veltra website and were able to pay the fee ahead of time. You can rent a “gi” on site for 1,000 JPY in cash per set.

The location was also easy to find. We used Google Maps to locate the dojo, and it took us straight to the exact spot in Nago. If you go as a group, you should definitely carpool because the parking lot for the dojo is limited.

Make sure to be present & have fun. After our session they took pictures of us with different weapons and poses.

Overall, It was a beginner-friendly experience that we would recommend to people of all ages, regardless of their familiarity with karate. We were honored to be taught by Sensei Matsuda Tatsunori and to experience the beauty of traditional Okinawan karate.

Packages: Standard Plan
Tips and suggestions

- Bring your own water
- wear comfortable clothing you can take off to put on the GI
- Carpool

Aurora Icebreaker Cruise with Abashiri Prison Museum and Drift Ice Museum
Awesome Itinerary
Activity Date: 2026/02/12 | Posted on: 2026/03/10

Guide came to pick us right on time. We had four in our party. We throughly enjoyed all the places of interest on the schedule especially the drift ice cruise which was the highlight since guide said that the day before some cruises were canceled due to no drift ice. Great deal for the bucks on this tour. Definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to see lots in a day without planning your transportation to all the places especially in this wintery weather

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio
Memorable experience
Activity Date: 2026/02/26 | Posted on: 2026/02/28

It was such a special experience to spend a few hours with the owners of KUGE studio. They are both pottery artists and took the time to teach us to create our own kintsugi teacup as well as give us an overview about this traditional art form. Not only was it a meditative art experience but it was so special to connect with these two lovely people. It was one of the best afternoons I spent in Tokyo and I strongly recommend booking this class.

A Must-Visit ANA Experience—Excellent Chinese-Guided Tour and Behind-the-Scenes Training Views
Activity Date: 2026/02/25 | Posted on: 2026/02/26

My visit to ANA Blue Base was absolutely worth it. One of the best parts was that I could join a guided tour in Chinese in Japan, and the explanation was clear and well organized. The tour gave me a great overview of ANA’s history, and it was impressive to see real training scenes where ANA staff practice and prepare for their work. The souvenir shop also had some unique and interesting items, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended if you’re interested in aviation or ANA—definitely a place worth visiting.
