Tsurui Village Winter Crane Watching Tour from Kushiro
Crane watching tour
Activity Date: 2026/01/11 | Posted on: 2026/01/13

I went for the crane watching tour with Mr. Shuta. It was a wonderful experience. He was well prepared and provided telescope and binoculars. He was experienced in pointing out various wildlife along the route and finding good spots to view cranes at the right timing. Thank you.

Kintsugi Class in Tokyo - Hands-On Pottery Repair with Gold Powder
A must-try activity
Activity Date: 2026/01/09 | Posted on: 2026/01/11

Yoshie-san is talented and impressive as an artist, and manages to make something she’s dedicated so much time to accessible to even first-timers!

Tips and suggestions

The studio is the one with sliding glass doors, just left of a very blue shop with silver shutters.

Shikwasa Chopstick Making Experience: Create a Unique Okinawan Souvenir
Lovely experience
Activity Date: 2025/12/23 | Posted on: 2026/01/10

so great! we had family on island for the holidays and thought it would be really special to make chopsticks from Shikwasa wood. & you get to personalize it at the end too! The teachers are lovely, kind and patient. It shows they truly connect with the art of forming your own chopstick. even with the language barrier it was clear and simply to do (though not exactly easy!) Highly recommended!

Tips and suggestions

Don't book on a Tuesday or Wednesday as the whole complex full of shops and cafe's are closed.

Dolphin Quest Family-Friendly Dolphin Swim Experiences near Churaumi Aquarium
Childhood dream come true
Activity Date: 2025/12/24 | Posted on: 2025/12/25

I had a once in a life time experience interacting with dolphins at Motobu Genki Village! While a lot of people will head for Churaumi aquarium to watch whales and fish in big tanks, I opted for a closer encounter with these wonderful sea creatures. It is worth noting that the dolphins at Genki Village live in the actual sea, albeit in designated sections. Swimming with dolphins has been a childhood dream of mine, and I still can’t believe that it actually came true. Not only that, but I was in such luck that I was the only person in my booked time slot - meaning the very nice and skilled trainer directed all her attention to me. And I got to swim with the dolphin in question, Money - four whole times. Twice hanging onto her top fin and twice over her belly when she swam upside down. The trainer and Money put on quite the show, with funny tricks and mirroring theatrics which I also was a participant in. I had to the best time, and I have videos from the event of me laughing excitedly like a little kid. Besides the main activity itself, I got to loan a wet suit (winter time), crocs and a towel, and the changing room had lockers and the showers schampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The only thing I had to bring myself was a bathing suit - it could not have been smoother! I am so so happy to have experienced this! If you are in doubt, don’t be - just do it - you won’t regret it!

Packages: Dolphin Swim
Tips and suggestions

- Bring a bathing suit!
- Buy a waterproof pouch for your phone on site in order to use its camera.

Kyoto Arashiyama Private Yakatabune: Elegant Boat Ride to Enjoy Seasonal Scenery
A beautiful autumn day floating the Katsura River
Activity Date: 2025/11/21 | Posted on: 2025/12/13

We made reservations a few months in advance and checking in for our private boat was easy. We had the entire boat to ourselves and we brought some snacks and rinks to enjoy as we floated along. Our boatman kept the boat going smoothly and guided us along but one thing is he really didn’t point out anything not told us about some of the area and sights we were seeing. Luckily several of us are local and knew what things where so we had to point them out to the rest and explain things. We were disappointed that the floating snack/ drink boat never came up along side to offer more drinks or other items as we were hoping to enjoy some warm sake and other treats that wood have made the boat ride a bit more fun.

Packages: 1-Hour Private Rental (5–10 Persons)

Activity Date: 2025/11/21 | Posted on: 2025/12/13

Everyone was so professional and kind. I learned a lot about the preparation the pilots and flight attendants go through in order to qualify to work for all Nippon airways. The only thing I can add is that some people went on the hanger tour also and that sounds like a lot of fun.

Arashiyama can be very very crowded. For a peaceful, fulfilling start to your Arashiyama trip, recommend to take this 1-hour private boat trip (with table) early at 9am! Worth the money spent, guaranteed.

My 4 year old and I had a great time making our cupcake and tart. The teacher was so kind and patient, and could cater to us with our lack of Japanese. There was even a playground with a roller slide in the park next to the building, which was perfect for keeping our 1 year old busy while we participated.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo
One of our favorite activities in Japan!
Activity Date: 2025/10/20 | Posted on: 2025/11/15

We had such a great time creating our little cupcake and fruit tart! The instructor was so kind and spoke very good English, while simultaneously explaining to another group of visitors in Japanese. It was also a nice change of pace from running around Tokyo to sit and do a craft. We had a hard time choosing additional souvenirs (a magnet and keychain) from their wide selection, and it felt nice to buy from a local business versus the mass produced ones you’ll see in tourist shops. We’d love to come back and do a larger craft next time we’re in town!

Kyoto Sagano Scenic Railway & Hozugawa River Boat Ride Tour
Fantastic time, value for money. Very well looked after.
Activity Date: 2025/10/21 | Posted on: 2025/11/15

Value for money. Easy to find start location outside Kyoto train station.
Very welcoming with checks of passengers so we don't get left behind.
Great communication in different languages with earphones.
Train ride with great views nice to get out the big cities. Boat ride great. Rickshaw added extra but discount vouchers given. Brilliant staff. A trip for everyone, people with walking difficulties may find the boat ride difficult but speak to staff as the opportunity to stay on the coach.

Blue Cave Snorkeling with Sea Turtles & Mangrove SUP or Kayak Tour from Ishigaki
There was a tiny bit of regret, but it was still an amazing activity overall
Activity Date: 2025/10/08 | Posted on: 2025/11/04

The Mangrove Kayak Tour was a fun and enjoyable activity, set in a beautiful mangrove environment. The duration was just right—not too long or tiring. Unfortunately, the Blue Cave part was changed to a beach snorkeling spot due to weather conditions, but that area turned out to have a rich marine ecosystem. We were lucky to see two sea turtles and beautiful fish —it was an amazing experience overall. Our tour guide, sorry I forgot her name. is incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and full of energy.

Phanton Island really lives up to its name — it’s so unreal in its beauty. Snorkeling was fun, though the area we went to that day was just okay — we mainly saw corals, with not many fish or sea turtles around. Still, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience overall.
