A nontouristy evening excursion. Most passengers are locals out for a pleasant evening boat ride. Very little English is spoken but the staff was eager to please and be helpful, and between hand signals and dictionaries, we were able to communicate well enough. A nice dinner menu starting with sashimi, followed by tempura, rice, soup and dessert. Boat stopped to allowed photos at scenic spots along the Tokyo skyline. Nice evening outing.

I was able to efficiently visit World Heritage sites such as Hōryū-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Tōshōdaiji. I think it was a good decision to join a bus tour since I wouldn't have been able to hear the guide's explanations if I had gone by train on my own.

The content met my expectations, which was great. I requested to sit in a special seat for an additional ¥200, but the person in charge was not aware of it, and on the day of the event, my family of four ended up sitting in separate seats. There was only one special seat left, so I purchased it. I wish we could have sat together. It's disappointing.
内容的には期待通りで良かったです。 ¥200を追加すると特別席に座ることができるとのことでVertraにお願いしましたが担当の方が把握しておらず、当日は家族4にんがバラバラの席に座ることに。特別席は一席だけ残っていたので購入しました。出来れば一緒に座りたかったです。残念。

I was expecting a luxurious dinner while watching the sunset from a boat, but in reality, it was just a short trip around the harbor, and I only saw the same scenery. The meal was neither good nor bad...

This tour is an incredible experience! From the beginning you are taken on a bus tour of Kyoto with audio and video in your language about the shrines, temples, and history of Kyoto. You are taken to the beautiful Shozan resort in the mountains where you are are introduced to a traditional Kyoto style feast and watch a beautiful maiko dance in front of your eyes in perfect poise. The package also includes photo with the maiko and a stroll within the shozan garden. This beautiful garden is definitely worth checking out with incredible nature and photo opportunities. You are then taken up the mountain for a breathtaking view of the city of Kyoto at night. Very relaxing and a great way to experience an authentic maiko performance.

Second to the last day of our Japan trip, we had booked a rental at Sakura Photo Studio in Asakusa. Being.that we had a large group, of seven participants, we wanted to go in early to get ahead of the crowd.
We arrived via Ginza line, and in a few short blocks we were at the studio. It was located in 4 story building on the corner of two streets. Signs were posted on thier windows to show where they were located. The elevator is small, so you'll have to go in small groups of 3 or 4 at a time.
As we got there most of the employees of Sakura Photo Studio were just getting in, but we're ready to help us get into our kimonos. They were really quick and patient in helping us choose our kimonos. One of the employees spoke FOUR LANGUAGES: Japanese, Korean, Chinese ( Mandarin), and English! That was really helpful especially when other groups started to enter the studio,including that the studio is very small for changing into the kimonos.
The staff was able to get us into.our kimonos within the hour and let us know how long we had the rentals for the day. They also had some discounts on Rik Shaw rides through Asakusa. You'll look extra traditional with your kimonos.
Overall, the service was great, the quality of the kimonos were great and diverse, and the staff was very helpful. Will do again if I come back to Asakusa.
Thank you so much for coming our studio, and having our service. We are so much honored and happy to have you over such a great group of people. We are so much looking forward to having you over our shop once again sometime!!

When you have done and seen everything on your ‘must do’ list in Tokyo, this is the perfect way to create your own momento of your visit.
The instructor was patient and knowledgeable about what is required to make your own Kiriko glass, the rest is up to you. There was a good amount of time to practice before you start to make your own cut glass and there are sample designs for you to copy which you sketch onto your glass.
I would not recommend this for very young children as it requires a steady hand and concentration when using the mechanical wheel.
The only suggestion I would make to Veltra is that they send instructions of the venue in map form as it was slightly tricky to find the venue.
All in all a very enjoyable activity for a few hours.

Nice cruise to rainbow bridge. Beautiful view of lit up bridge, Tokyo tower and sky tree tower. Japanese style dinner. Plentiful food but mostly all raw fish, and pickled things. Tempura eel, squid and potato. For me as a westerner who doesn’t eat raw fish it would have been nice to have a food choice. The advertisement said it was a cherry blossom special cruise but we saw no cherry blossoms so I was somewhat disappointed. Beer and alcohol was plentiful. I would go again but I would eat before hand.

If the seats surround the maiko, everyone can see easily from the front row, but here it was cramped with five people in each of the three rows. Additionally, the front row required an extra 200 yen.
Also, keep in mind that you will be making your own tea based on the maiko's example, and the interaction with the maiko is limited to just two people, so it might feel a bit pricey.
席が舞妓さんを取り囲むようなら皆が最前列で見やすいが、ここは1列5人で3列というぎゅうぎゅう詰だった。さらに最前列は追加200円。
また、お手前は舞妓さんをお手本に自分で点てる、舞妓さんとの遊びは2人だけ、ということを理解して臨みましょう。そう思うとちょっと高いかなぁ。

The venue is small and a little hard to find but the staff is really nice and personable, with just four stations. We arrived a little late but the staff didn't mind. They speak enough English to explain the steps and also have small talk. We learned a little about the history and the process of plastic food and had a blast with the actual project. It was very laid back and relaxed. The process was easily explained and the staff made each step easy to follow as well. It went faster than we expected. I'd do it again!

I was thrilled to see the maiko up close. I've been to Kyoto many times, but this was my first experience. I was taught the tea ceremony by a lovely maiko, and it was also my first time experiencing matcha. We enjoyed two dances, and at the end, we took a photo together. It was a truly Kyoto-like experience, and I was very satisfied. The price was also reasonable. I highly recommend trying it at least once!
