All Reviews for Asakusa Tours

We had a wonderful time spending the entire day with Makoto. He is very knowledgeable, has a good attitude, and is a very respectful person! I am very happy I had Makoto as a tour guide! He always had a smile on his face, which set the tone from the very first moment we saw him!!!!!

It was a truly once-in-a-lifetime memorable trip. We stopped the boat at the shooting spots about twice, and it was amazing to have around 10 to 15 minutes to take photos after going up to the upper deck! There were various foreigners, and even though we couldn't understand each other's languages, taking photos together somehow felt heartwarming, and I sensed world peace. As expected of Japan.

At the end, everyone sang the happy birthday song to my girlfriend with a surprise cake! It was just the best. The foreigner behind us saw the five candles and asked, "Five years??" (laughs). The idea of being five years old was also a funny episode!

To that person, I said happy birthday again at the very end, and he encouraged me by patting my shoulder, which moved me towards world peace. Thank you for this wonderful time filled with unforgettable memories. I'm so glad to have encountered this yakatabune tour, which may only happen once in a lifetime. Everyone should definitely ride a yakatabune!

とても一生に一度の思い出に残る旅。
2回くらい撮影スポットで船停止し、
上のデッキへ昇り、10分〜15分くらい撮影できる時間は最高ですね！
様々な外人さんがいて、お互い言葉がわからないですが、写真を撮りあいしたのも、なぜかほっこり、世界平和を感じました。
さすがJapan。
最後にsurprisecakeでみんなから彼女へ
大合唱でhappy birthday song！！
もう最高です。
後ろの外人さんから、ろうそく5本みて
five year？？笑笑
5歳？ってのも、いい面白いエピソードです！
そんな彼に最後の最後にもhappy birthday！！と改めてgoodポーズと
僕にも肩を叩いて励ましてくれて、世界平和に感動致しました。この度最高の思い出の時間をありがとうございました。
一生に一度あるか、ないかの屋形船ツアー、
釣新に出逢えて嬉しく思います。
絶対みなさん屋形船のるべきです！！

La nourriture était excellente, on a pu goûter à plein de spécialités locales; sashimi, crevettes et poisson en tempura....L'anguille était hyper bonne. Les desserts (mochi) délicieux et entraient quand même malgré le fait que nous étions vraiment repues. Le parcours de nuit était parfait. Allez-y sans hésiter.

I brought along a couple of friends who live overseas. They explained everything in a polite manner in both Japanese and English, so even as beginners, we were able to create something enjoyable and wonderful. I was really happy to see my friends so pleased.

海外に住む友人夫婦をお連れしました。丁寧に日本語・英語で説明いただいたので初心者でも楽しく、素敵に作ることができました。友人夫婦にとても喜んでもらえて嬉しかったです。

It's just watching a low-quality synthetic screen on the TV in the car. The content isn't interesting either. I feel nauseous from seeing the real streets through the screen. On top of that, it encountered an error and had to restart the system. I felt like I missed out on the parts that were skipped due to the error.

車の中で質の悪い合成画面をテレビで見るだけ。内容も面白くない。現実の街並みを画面を通して見ることで酔う。おまけに途中でエラーになり、システム再起動。エラーで通り過ぎた部分は飛ばされたので、損した気分。

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.

It was a fun experience, it would be an amazing experience especially for young children

I participated in the "70th Birthday Tour" with five friends. While enjoying the wonderful night view, we were served a variety of dishes including a boat platter of crab and sashimi, and freshly fried tempura, which made us very satisfied. The all-you-can-drink alcohol flowed freely, and we had a fantastic night.

「古希ツアー」で仲間５人で参加しました。素晴らしい夜景を見ながら、料理もカニや刺身の舟盛り、揚げたての熱々天ぷらを順番にお皿に置いてもらえて、大満足でした。飲み放題のお酒もすすみ、ステキな夜を満喫できました。

We took this time travel taxi from Tokyo station to Ueno station and it was so much fun, very informative and allowed us to learn about the Edo period in Japan and the taxi itself was very comfortable and smooth.

I used this service to guide my overseas friends around Tokyo. We had a very enjoyable and fulfilling time visiting places like the Imperial Palace and Asakusa.

However, the Tokyo Tower at the end was quite crowded that day, and due to the weather, the view wasn't very good, which was disappointing. There are many tall buildings around, so the scenery was a bit different from what I had expected. In the future, it might be a good idea to consider alternative spots depending on the crowd situation.

The guide from the Hato Bus provided very clear explanations about Japan, and I learned a lot of new things myself. Overall, we had a great time.

海外の友人を東京案内するのに利用しました。
皇居や浅草までは非常に楽しく、充実した時間を過ごせました。

ただ、最後の東京タワーは当日かなり混雑しており、天候の影響もあって眺望があまり良くなかった点が残念でした。周囲に高い建物が多いこともあり、期待していた景色とは少し違いました。
今後は混雑状況によっては、別のスポットを検討してくれると良いのかもしれません。

はとバスのガイドの方の日本の説明はとても分かりやすく、私自身も新たに知ることが多く、全体としては楽しい時間を過ごせました

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.

We were able to have a wonderful time as a family of four. All the staff members were cheerful, kind, and provided us with a pleasant experience.

家族4人で、楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。従業員の方々は皆さん明るく、親切で心地よいひと時を頂くことが出来ました。

During my stay in Tokyo, I had some free time during the day, so I decided to try the daytime shared boat service. I completed the boarding procedure at the boat house, received my ticket, and boarded from the riverbank across the road.

Before entering the boat, we had to remove our shoes, and there was a reserved name tag on the table, so we took our seats there.

The chairs and tables were comfortable, which was great for reducing strain on my legs. The table was set with sashimi and dishes according to the course I reserved, along with bottled beer, and we started eating and drinking as soon as we set sail.

Drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the staff would bring them right away if you requested them. Onboard, the hostess explained the Rainbow Bridge and the buildings and bridges along the river using a microphone.

They also served freshly fried tempura throughout the trip, allowing us to enjoy crispy, hot tempura while cruising.

Since we couldn't see the cherry blossoms, we docked at Odaiba, where we got off to take commemorative photos before heading upstream toward the Tokyo Skytree.

After the tempura service ended, we enjoyed freshly cooked clam rice and miso soup, followed by a sweet dessert.

There was one restroom located at the front of the boat for use. I would love to experience the evening cruise if I get the chance.

東京滞在中の昼間に時間がある旅程だったので、こちらの昼の乗合船を利用してみました。
船宿で乗船手続きをしてチケットもらって、道路を渡った川岸からの乗船です。
履物は船内に入る前に脱いで、テーブルに予約者名が書かれた札が置いてあるのでそこに着席です。

椅子とテーブルなので、脚の負担も少なくて良かったです。
テーブルには予約したコースごとのお造りや料理、瓶ビールが準備されており、出航と同時に飲食が開始されます。

ドリンクは飲み放題で、スタッフの人にリクエストすると直ぐに持ってきてもらえます。
船中では女将さんがマイク片手にレインボーブリッジや川沿いの建物や橋の説明をしてくれます。

また揚げたての天ぷらをその都度提供してくれるので、サクサクのアツアツな天ぷらを食べながら遊覧できます。

桜が見れなかったので、お台場で停泊して外に出て記念撮影したりした後に、スカイツリー方面へと上流へ上っていきます。

天ぷらの提供が終わると炊き立てのアサリ飯と味噌汁、最後に甘味デザートをいただきました。

トイレは前方に一か所あるので利用できます。
機会があれば夜の部も体験したいと思いました。

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.

We were really glad to see various bridges, even though we were born and raised in Tokyo. It was thrilling to be able to see the bridge we passed by every day during our student days from below.

東京生まれで東京育ちの私たちでも色々な橋を見れて良かったです。
学生時代に毎日通った橋を下から見ることが出来て、大興奮でした。

We traveled as a family of five. Taking the train from Tokyo Station to Asakusa can be quite challenging, so I recommend this Time Trip Taxi. The fare is not much different from a regular taxi... Once you get on, it's a lot of fun, and you arrive in no time. It was a great deal considering how enjoyable it was. My 8-year-old child was thrilled to see the character Oedo-kun!

家族5人で乗りました。
東京駅から浅草まで電車でいくのは大変なので、このタイムトリップタクシーおすすめです。
タクシーとあまり変わらない料金。。。
乗ったら非常に楽しいのであっという間に着くし、、、楽しい分お得でした
8歳の子供も出てくるキャラクターオエドんみて喜んでいました。。

As you pass through a time tunnel like a time machine, you arrive in a castle town, and Edo Castle appears. Moreover, it seems to overlap with the current location! Edo Castle appears where the Imperial Palace is, and Echigoya appears where Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi is. It's very well done.

タイムマシンのようなタイムトンネルを抜けると城下町になり、江戸城がでてくる。
しかも今の場所に重なる（重畳して）ように見える！
皇居のところに江戸城、日本橋三越のところに越後屋がでてくる。よくできている。

Seeing Edo Castle suddenly appear while passing through the Imperial Palace was quite a surprise...

The area around Nihonbashi truly feels like a time-traveling taxi, blending the present with the past.

Last time, I took a taxi from Tokyo Station to Senso-ji Temple, and it cost about 3,500 yen, so I thought this 5,000 yen fare was very reasonable.

Considering I could time travel and the price only increased by about 1,000 yen...

Taking the train from Tokyo Station to Asakusa can be quite challenging, so I recommend taking a taxi from Tokyo Station to Asakusa.

皇居通過時江戸城見えるのはいきなりびっくり。。。
日本橋周辺は、今と当時が重なるまさにタイムトリップタクシー
前回同じ様に、新幹線で東京駅について浅草寺までタクシー乗ったら3500円くらいかかったので、この5000円は非常に安いと思いました。
タイムトリップできて、1000くらいしか、高くなっていないのだから、、、
東京駅から浅草って電車でいくと大変だから、東京駅から浅草行くときはおすすめです。。

We had such a fun time in Time Trip Taxi! The graphics were adorable and engaging. The information was enlightening and informative. The taxi itself was so spacious! I would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to add something special to their trip' great for family and friend trips!

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. 🫶🏻

Lovely this taxi ,Is exactly for VIP ❤️
Who want enjoy your trip ,your way to Asakusa 📍
Please use this Veltra taxi

My recommendation 🥰 🚕

It was amazing to learn more about Edo period while going from Tokyo Station to Asakusa! It was a great way to spend a meaningful time, otherwise I would have wasted it on the train.
Thank you! Definitely I recommend it 😊

I had heard that the staff would be kind and helpful based on reviews, but I was worried that with so many people, there might not be enough time to work at the stations. However, in reality, there was one instructor for every six students, and each student had their own workstation. The instruction was thorough and attentive, and there was plenty of time to work. It was more challenging than I expected, but after practicing, I was able to decide on a design that suited my skill level, and I think I ended up with something really good.

口コミで親切に教えてもらえるとありましたが、人が多く作業台も人と使うとゆっくり作業する時間ないかも…と心配してました。
実際は先生1人に生徒6人で1人一台ずつ作業台があり、しっかり丁寧に教えてもらえて作業時間もたっぷりありました。
思ったより難しかったですが、練習した後にデザインを決めれたので、実力に見合った柄を選べて良いものが出来たと思います。

I used this for my mother's birthday celebration! The cake and the food were delicious 🤤 The night view from the boat was amazing, and it was a wonderful day.

母の誕生日お祝いで利用しました！
ケーキもお料理も美味しいし🤤
船からの夜景は最高で素晴らしい日でした。

I thought we would be wearing something like goggles, but instead, images of the streets from that time and the guide appear on the car window without any of that. It's very interesting.

ゴーグルのようなものをつけるのかと思ったら、そういうのなしに今見えている車窓に当時の街並みやガイドが出てくる。とても面白い。

It was fun. When I passed through Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi-mae, I saw the streets of Nihonbashi from back then, and I could clearly see Echigoya at Mitsukoshi-mae. The current scenery overlapped with the images from that time, and it truly felt like a time trip. I enjoyed it all the way to Asakusa.

楽しかったです。日本橋三越前を通過するときに当時の日本橋の街並みと三越前でちゃんと越後屋が出ました。今の風景に当時の映像が重なりまさにタイムトリップ浅草まで楽しめました。

While passing through the Imperial Palace, I was able to see Edo Castle, and I enjoyed traveling from Tokyo Station to Asakusa as if I were on a time trip. The guide, Oedon, was also great. ☺️

皇居通過時に江戸城が出たり、タイムトリップしながら東京駅から浅草まで楽しく移動できました、ガイドのオエドンも良かったです。☺️

I participated with a total of five friends, including both American and Japanese friends. It was everyone's first time, but we enjoyed choosing glasses, selecting designs, and the entire experience. Even if we made mistakes, the unique flavors of handmade items created great memories. Everyone was incredibly focused, so time flew by!

アメリカ人の友達と日本人の友達、合計5人で参加しました。全員初めてでしたが、グラス選び、デザイン選び、体験まで楽しむことができました。失敗しても手作りならではの味が出て良い思い出。全員ものすごく集中していたので、時間が経つのがあっという間でした！

I was able to practice thoroughly and immerse myself with peace of mind.

It was challenging, but I was able to focus and enjoy the experience, so I would like to try a different design next time.

練習をしっかりさせてもらえて、安心して没頭出来ました

難しかったですが、集中して楽しく体験出来たので、次は違うデザインで体験したいなと思います

My first experience with Edo Kiriko was challenging but fun. They let you practice, so you don't have to carve directly onto the glass without any preparation, which makes it manageable. I was a bit shocked to find out that colored glasses come with an additional fee; it might have been mentioned somewhere, though.

初めての江戸切子体験、難しいですが楽しかったです　練習もさせて下さるし、ぶっつけ本番でグラスに彫るわけではないのでなんとかなります　色付きのグラスは追加料金がかかるというのはちょっとショックでした　どこかに書いてあったのかもしれないけど。
