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.

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.

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

Guide and driver was well informed and knew best places & times for viewing the cranes. He had all the necessary viewing equipment. Great to have telescope available. Guide was also very friendly and was happy to take photos for us. Vehicle was very comfortable and clean. Overall, quite an enjoyable tour!! Well done, Veltra!!

Our driver patiently waited for us at the port because our disembarkation from the cruise ship took longer than expected. They also called us to double check due to the delay. Highly recommend this service when visiting Miyakojima!

It was raining quite hard during our tour—we are from a dry climate and weren’t really prepared, but that’s on us. This is one of the wettest places in the world, after all! Our guide was very kind and helpful, even though most people in the group did not speak Japanese. The forest is absolutely stunning! Highly recommended.

Ichiro-San was a wonderful host and guide - knowledgeable, humorous, patient and always professional with the six gaijin in his custody. I highly recommend he and his company.

We all agreed it was a 1st class experience.

準備充分的中文化導覽解說，能好好銜接原本是日語內容的導覽行程。
在參觀後在機場商店看到ANA週年的特刊，更能感受到裡面提及的亮點。

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.

I enjoyed this tour . I was able to see the places that i wanted to visit . The buffet lunch was grest

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.

这次旅行主要介绍了ANA航司的常见工种及相关知识，小孩很开心，开拓了眼界，我觉得讲解人员非常专业，热情。她对工作的热爱，使我们一群中国游客感同身受，今后还会选择ANA航班

We had great time on this private tour. Our guide was Shu-San who came with his car to pick us from our hotel and drove us to three different observation points. He was well equipped with a monocular and binoculars. His polite attitude and enthusiasm about Tanchos made our trip a memorable experience.

The crew was friendly, professional, knowledgable and attentive. We went to several spots out past the harbor and were able to catch a decent amount of fish. We were even given a recommendation for where to cook our catch after.

Passionate and inspiring staff guided us to explore the ANA blue base. Perfect for those who loves flights.

My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful time at the workshop! We enjoyed every minute of it and are delighted to have a great souvenir to take home with us.

Maintaining and very well organised. The tour guide was friendly and ensuring that all the members are well taken care of.

充滿知性的導覽，孩子和大人都能感到樂趣的體驗。知道每場中文導覽都是由同樣的ANA員工完成，有點小感動，真心推薦不騙。

A wonderful day even if the weather was bad the first hours of walking (rain). The misty forest, the big old and mysterious trees and the little world of the moss are so beautiful and well preserved! We were two with the guide (who speaks English contrary of what is written on the website). Read that some people had problems with the guide but he has done the job seriously. Yes he walks quickly sometimes, but we have no choice: we need to go down for the last bus. The problem is the bus schedule (which should pass one hour later), definitely not the guide! So he knows exactly what he's doing, we walked quite well and we finally arrived 10 minutes before the bus departure! If you feel that you are not in condition to walk quickly in hard mountain road (the last kilometers) it's better to give up this activity, and please don't try it without a guide during winter because we saw a few irresponsible guys underestimating the dangers of nature (no crampons on icy path, no warm clothes, walking late...)! Personally, I like this kind of guide who looks severe at the beginning, but little by little you discover that he just ask you to do what you need to do. He is kind too: giving some of his hot miso soup for lunch, taking lots of beautiful photos for you (because I must say it's hard to take photos by yourself, no time to fool around), giving very useful crampons for walking in the snow (two minutes to put it on your shoes), talking with you... Finally it was an amazing natural and human experience!

We enjoyed every minute of this workshop! The teacher was very informative and gave everyone personal attention, making suggestions and only too happy for us to continue practicing if we weren't confident of going onto our personal glass. At the end, she glamour shot our glasses, showing them off beautifully. We will definitely be back to try a harder design. Highly recommended!

My wife and I enjoyed the meal overlooking the ocean. The squid and goto beef were especially good. All around a good deal and a great way to spend our first night on Goto! The staff were very friendly and attentive.

The Kuge’s are clearly very accomplished in the skills and the art of kintsugi. They are wonderful hosts who were very willing to share their knowledge and experience and help us create a unique kintsugi piece. Will definitely try to do another session with them when we come back to Tokyo!

Amazing 20 January 2pm tour! Love the tour guides, they were awesome!! Thank you so much.

They cover the most famous temples in Kyoto and while the tour guide doesn't speak english, she was very patient and helpful! Overal a great tour for the price!!

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.

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!

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!

We enjoyed our fun and educational sanba experience . The teacher was kind and patient and a talented musician. Highly recommend this activity.

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!

Great tour guides showed us ANA training center, The Blue Base. The tour was well organized and guests will have ample of time to see various training aspects of the airline.
The gift shop was fantastic, make sure bring your credit card!
