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!

A very fun tour for family with kids. Definitely worth the trip! Our guide, Victoria, made sure we had a worthwhile 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!

Really a enjoying tour and experience. I learned a lot about ANA flight and crew

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.

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.

We really loved our guide. She was so happy and friendly. She took the time to take pictures for us. We would definitely recommend the service to our friends.

A very interesting guided tour that revealed previously unknown training facilities. The guides were also very friendly.

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.

We loved this ! Super peaceful great experience. Recommend to anyone

It's very convenient to travel around Yakushima by bus in one day, and good weather makes the trip go smoothly.

A great opportunity to learn more about airlines and the aviation industry. The staff was very friendly and provided an excellent introduction, making it an enjoyable experience.

All good, picked up on time, plenty of space for both me and luggage. Great Service 😎

Driver was very nice and even added small interesting stops along the way.

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.

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!
