All Reviews for Asakusa Tours

The female host of the boat was very kind and lively, taking photos for us. Moreover, since it was her birthday, she surprised us with a celebration even though we hadn't informed anyone in advance, and the people around us warmly joined in the celebration! She was very happy, and it created a warm and enjoyable atmosphere!

One thing to note is that if you plan to drink alcohol, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication in advance, as the boat can sway and make some people feel queasy.

船の司会の方？(女性)がとても親切で盛り上げてくださり、写真を撮っていただいたりさらには彼女が誕生日ということで事前に知らせていたわけでもないのに急遽サプライズをしてくださり、周りの方たちも暖かく祝ってくれました！！彼女もとても喜んでおり暖かく楽しい空間でした！
注意点はお酒飲む場合、船の揺れもあるため酔いやすい方は酔い止め薬をあらかじめ飲んでおくとよいかもです！

I often go to Asakusa, but I didn't know I could have such a wonderful experience! I definitely want both domestic and international visitors to try it!

よく浅草に行きますが、こんな素敵な体験ができるなんて知りませんでした！是非国内外の方に体験していただきたいです！

I was moved by the process of selecting the glass, choosing the design, and creating the final piece. Additionally, I was even more impressed that we could take photos of the glass.
I wasn't confident in the processing, but they explained everything carefully and allowed us to practice, so I was able to create something.
Thank you for this valuable experience.
I will enjoy delicious drinks from the glass we designed ourselves.

グラスを選んで、デザイン選んで、自分で加工して、と一連の流れを経て、作品が出来上がることに感動。かつ、グラスの写真撮影もできて、さらに感動。
加工は自信なかったが、丁寧に説明してくれて、練習もさせて頂いて何とか形になりました。
貴重な体験をありがとうございます。
自分達でデザインしたグラスで美味しい飲み物頂きます。

I participated in the rain brought by the wandering typhoon. I struggled with choosing a design due to the complexity of the many sample cuts and the difference in my own skills after practicing. I was nervous that if I carved too deeply, I might create holes. With the teacher's advice, I was able to complete it somehow. Next time, I want to challenge myself with a more complex design! (I had fun participating even on my own!)

迷走台風のもたらす雨の中参加しました。
たくさんある見本のカットの複雑さと
練習してみての自分の力量との差をどうしようかと図案選びに悩みました。
深く彫ると穴が空きそうでおっかなびっくり。
先生のアドバイスもありなんとか完成出来ました。
次回はもっと複雑な図案に挑戦してみたいです！
(1人でも楽しく参加出来ました！)

We participated as a couple and had a very enjoyable time.
We enjoyed a comfortable cruise!
We were able to stop the boat twice to admire the view from the second floor, and after taking our time to take photos, we truly savored the scenery. Thank you!
The female captain kindly took photos for us, and they turned out much nicer than the ones we took ourselves!
The food consisted of freshly fried tempura served one after another, and we were full and satisfied!
I would love to ride again when sightseeing in Tokyo!

夫婦での参加でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
快適なクルージングを楽しめました♪
途中で2回も船を止めて2回からの景色を眺めることが出来て、ゆっくり写真をとったら、景色を堪能する事が出来ました。ありがとうございました♪
女性の船長さんが、サービスで、写真を撮って頂きましたが、自分で撮るより、よっぽど綺麗に撮れました！
料理は、揚げたての天麩羅が次々と出していただき、満腹、満足でした！
又、東京見物の時には乗りたいと思います♪

It was a quick 90 minutes. We participated as a couple, and the staff was very attentive, allowing us to create our favorite original glasses! Starting tomorrow, I'll enjoy my favorite sake with them! Thank you very much! ♪

あっという間の90分でした。夫婦で参加しましたが、スタッフさんが、とても丁寧な教えてくれて、気に入ったオリジナルグラスを作ることが出来ました！これで、明日から好きな日本酒を呑みますね！ありがとうございました♪

I visited on a weekday, but it was crowded, possibly because it was during summer vacation. It was scorching outside, but I was able to enjoy a cool moment.

平日に訪問しましたが、夏休み中ということもあってか混雑していました。外は猛暑でしたが、涼しい一時を過ごせました。

I experienced this on the day of the typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to avoid the heavy rain, so after moving to the store, I was able to participate without any issues. The instructor's sister taught us with great care. I was grateful for the precise guidance on how to carve patterns that I find difficult and on areas for improvement. I could practice while preparing for the main event, and I was also taught difficult and stylish designs.

The instructor praised us very well, which kept my motivation high and allowed me to focus. Unfortunately, I carved too much and made a hole in my glass, but they suggested trying again. (I had to give up due to time constraints.) My wife, who participated with me, finished her piece properly, so I believe that with a little caution, anyone can create something well.

Although I made a hole, I still completed it, so I plan to use it as a cactus pot. However, I feel frustrated, so I want to try again. I think anyone who enjoys crafting will have a great time.

台風直撃日に体験しましたが、幸い土砂降りのタイミングから外れていた為、お店に移動後、問題なく体験できました。先生のお姉さんに丁寧に教えて頂けます。自分の苦手な模様の削り方や、改善ポイントなども的確に指導して頂けるが有難かったです。練習しながら本番に挑めますし、難しい図案や格好良い図案なども教えて頂けます。
とても上手に褒めてくださるので、モチベーションも下がらず、集中して挑めます。残念ながら私は削りすぎてグラスに穴を開けてしまいましたが、もう一つやってみますかとご提案して下さいました。（時間の都合で諦めました）一緒に体験した妻はキチンと仕上げていましたので、無茶しなければ上手に作ることが出来ると思います。
穴は空きましたが、完成はしたので、サボテン鉢にでも活用しようと思います。が、悔しいのでリベンジしようと思います。ものづくりが好きな方はとても楽しめると思います。

The activity was fun itself but I feel that it would have been better if we had more practice before the real thing!

Nonetheless, we enjoyed the activity.

Since it was my first experience, I was worried, but I was able to work with peace of mind because I was kindly taught various things. While I was working, I was able to have someone check on me, which helped a lot.

After I finished, I was able to take photos, which became a nice memory!

初めての体験ということで、心配していたのですが、親切に色々と教えてもらえたので安心して作業に取り組めました。
取り組んでいる時にも見て回ってもらえたので確認してもらいながら作業できました。

できた後には、写真ん撮ることもでき思い出になりました！

I got lost coming from the station, but I received a phone call and was given directions. The experience was very thorough, and my 6th-grade daughter, despite being a bit clumsy, was able to finish and said she wants to do it again. I was satisfied with the results. Now that I remember the location, I want to do it again! (≧∇≦)b

駅から迷ってしまいましたが
電話を頂き、場所を教えてもらいました。
体験は、とても丁寧に教えてもらい
小学６年生の娘も不器用ながら
仕上がり、またやりたいと言ってました。
私は満足な出来上がりでした。
今度は場所も覚えたのでまた
やりたいです(≧∇≦)b

We had a really wonderful time creating a very unique keepsake that will always remind us of our time in Japan. Our instructor, Hiro, was excellent in explaining everything in English and he helped my sons each learn techniques to create the glass cuts they wanted for each of their designs. After we were done, we were able to photograph our completed glasses in a way that made them look so professional. We highly recommend this activity - especially for those in high school and above.

The luxury of the cuisine and the service exceeded my expectations by 200%. The detailed explanations from the female staff and their impeccable service were wonderful. The freshly fried tempura was also exquisite. I would like to use this service again.

お料理の豪華さ、サービスすべてにおいて予想の200%超えでした。
女性スタッフのきめ細やかな説明、抜かりないサービス、素晴らしかったです。揚げたての天ぷらも絶品でした。
また利用したいです。

I boarded with customers from overseas. The food was diverse, and the service was good. After finishing the meal, we could relax and enjoy the beautiful night views from the second-floor observation area at various scenic points. The timing was well managed, allowing us to visit the night view spots without wasting time, which was great. I was somewhat worried about seasickness, but there was hardly any rocking, so it wasn't a problem.

海外からのお客様と乗船。食事も多様で、サービスも良かったです。食事を終えたら、ポイントポイントで夜景の綺麗なところで2階の観覧エリアでゆっくり景色も見れます。
時間配分もよく夜景スポットに寄れるので無駄なく楽しめて良かったです。
船酔いを多少心配しましたが、殆ど揺れず問題なかったです。

I had wanted to experience glass cutting for a long time, so I participated in this workshop. The instructor was very kind, and since there were few participants, they were accommodating with my design requests, resulting in a very satisfying finish! I would love to go back and create more. Thank you very much! 😊

ずっと切子体験したくて参加させてもらいました。
先生も優しく、参加者が少ないのもあってデザインのわがままを聞いてくださり、とても満足いく仕上がりでした！また作りに行きたいです♪
ありがとうございました(^^)

A fun experience, good instruction and the location was easy to find. Nice to have something unique to take home afterwards! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an activity that allows you to be a bit creative.

This was my first experience on a yakatabune (houseboat), and I made a reservation for two with my daughter. The food, especially the freshly fried tempura, was all very delicious. We enjoyed various flavors with the dipping sauce and salt (there was also matcha available)! The dessert was something I had never tried before, and it was delightful. The clam rice was tasty, and the warm miso soup was delicious as well.

Additionally, all the staff members were very kind and friendly, engaging in conversation and even taking photos for us. We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much! If I have the chance again, I would love to come back. Everyone, please take care of yourselves and keep up the good work!

今回初めての屋形船…娘と二人で予約しました。
食事も揚げたての天ぷらがどれもとても美味しく…
天つゆ&塩(抹茶もあり)で、色々と楽しめる！
デザートは、はじめて食べた物で美味しく頂きました
あさりご飯も、良いお味…暖かい味噌汁…美味しかった
そして、スタッフの方達がどの方もとても親切で、フレンドリーな感じで話しかけて下さったり、写メ️撮って下さったり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました
ありがとうございました！
また、機会があれば、お願いしたいと思ってます。
皆さんもお体には気をつけて頑張って下さいねっ

I thought two and a half hours might be long, but we stopped twice along the way, which gave us time to take photos on the deck, making it just the right amount of time. I liked that the freshly fried tempura was served one piece at a time. The final rice dish was also delicious. The female staff were friendly, and I had a great time.

2時間半長いかなと思ったけど、途中２回停泊してくれてデッキで写真とる時間あったりでちょうどいい時間だった　揚げたての天ぷらが一品ずつ出てくるのがよかった　最後のご飯も美味しかった　スタッフの女性がフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごせました

I never imagined that I could actually make Edo Kiriko, which I've wanted for so long! Moreover, thank you for teaching me kindly and patiently, and for helping me fix my mistakes. Thanks to you, I was able to create a piece that is uniquely mine!

ずっと欲しかった江戸切子をまさか自分で作れるなんて思ってもみませんでした！
しかも優しく丁寧に教えてくれて失敗した所も直してもらえてありがとうございました。
お陰で自分だけの作品を作ることが出来ました〜

After the staff's explanation and demonstration, I practiced on my own before the actual event. At first, I struggled with the pressure and how to approach the carving, making many mistakes, but gradually I was able to do it as I intended. With the staff's advice, I managed to complete my piece. It was challenging, but creating a one-of-a-kind item was very satisfying. Thank you very much.

スタッフの説明、デモンストレーションの後、自分で実際に練習してから本番に臨みました。
最初は力加減や彫る箇所の見方等、掴めず失敗ばかりでしたが、少しずつ思い通りにできるようになっていきました。
スタッフのアドバイスをいただきながら、なんとか完成することができました。
難しかったけど一点ものを作るのは満足度高いです。
ありがとうございました。

Yakatabune Tsuri Shin has high-quality management and staff, which impressed me. The service on the boat was also excellent. I was especially grateful when they contacted me immediately about a lost item and sent it to me by mail. Their response was wonderful, and I am very thankful.

屋形船釣新は経営者や働いている人の質が高く、感動しました。船での接客姿勢もよかったです。特に忘れ物した際にすぐ連絡頂き、忘れ物を郵便送ってくれました。対応がすばらしく感謝しております。

Thank you for your kind guidance, even though I am a beginner. The result is at level one, but I would like to try again next time to improve my level. I would like to participate again.

初心者ですが、丁寧にご指導くださりありがとうございました
出来上がりは　レベルワンですが　次回トライしてレベルをあげたいです　
又　参加したいです

I participated with my 85-year-old mother to create memories for Mother's Day. We chose designs based on various beautifully cut glass pieces. As expected, we couldn't cut as perfectly as the samples, and my elderly mother struggled a bit, but in the end, the staff helped us finish the pieces and even took photos to make them look great. The service was also very attentive.

母の日に重ねて、思い出作りの為に85歳の母と参加しました。いろんな綺麗にカットされた切り子グラスを参考にデザインを選びます。
当たり前ですが、お見本の様にはカット出来ず
高齢の母も苦戦してましたが最後にスタッフさんが整えて頂き、映える様に写真撮影もさせてくれます。接客も丁寧でした。

I participated with my daughter. The explanations were thorough, with demonstrations and practice, and the instruction was very careful. I was able to create a simple wisteria pattern quite well, so I got a bit carried away and tried the bellflower, which was difficult and I struggled. However, when I had trouble, I could ask for help, and in the end, they made adjustments for me. When I placed it on the black cloth under the light, I was amazed by its beauty. I had a lot of fun concentrating for two hours.

娘と二人で参加しました。
説明もお手本を見せながら、練習もあり、丁寧教えて頂きました。簡単な藤の花の模様が、けっこう上手くできたので、調子に乗って桔梗に挑戦したら、難しく苦戦しました。でも、困った時に聞きながら、最後は、お直しもしてくださり、ライトの当たった黒い布の上に置くと、素晴らしさに感激しました。2時間集中して楽しかったです。

Explanations were simple and clear. Helpers were polite. Results were satisfying.

It was a great experience on the yakatabune for the first time. The food was delicious, especially the freshly fried, piping hot tempura, which was the best. Being near Odaiba and the Tokyo Skytree, I was able to go up on the roof of the boat and enjoy the scenery while feeling the gentle breeze, which was wonderful.

初めての屋形船で、いい体験でした。
料理がお美味しく、特に揚げたての熱々の天ぷらが最高でした。お台場とスカイツリーの近くで船の屋根に上がってそよ風を受けながら周りの景色を見ることができ、素晴らしかったです。

The instructor who was in charge was great at giving compliments and taught us with care, so even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy the experience. I'm also satisfied with the finished glass.

担当して頂いた先生が褒め上手で丁寧に教えて頂けたので、初心者でしたが楽しく体験する事が出来ました。
出来上がったグラスも満足です。

We were blessed with clear weather, enjoyed the cherry blossoms by the shore, savored delicious tempura, and had a very enjoyable time. There was a comfortable distance from the neighboring table, which made chatting with the people next to us delightful. The staff were also very kind. I think the 2 hours and 30 minutes was the perfect length.

快晴のお天気に恵まれ、岸辺の桜も眺め、美味しい天ぷらを堪能し、とても楽しいひと時を過ごせました。隣のテーブルと、程よい距離感で、お隣の方達とのお喋りも弾みました。スタッフの人達もとても親切でした。2時間30分は、最適な長さだったと思います。

On the day of the event, it was disappointing that we couldn't go to Odaiba due to the rain, but we had some time to stop at a location where we could capture photos of the collaboration between the Tokyo Skytree and cherry blossoms. My overseas friends were very happy about it.

当日は、雨が降っていた為、お台場まで行かない運行となり残念でしたが、スカイツリーと桜のコラボの場所で停泊し撮影時間がありました。海外の友人も大変喜んでいました。

It was more difficult than I expected.
However, I was able to create something that I am quite satisfied with!
If there were a glass-cutting class nearby, I would want to attend because I feel like I could get really into it.

I look forward to it again in the fall.

The instructor was also very kind in teaching me.

Thank you very much! ☆

思っていたよりも難しかったです。
が、それなりに満足のいくものが出来ました！
切子教室が近くにあったら通いたいくらい
ハマりそうです。

秋にまたお願いします。

先生も親切に教えてくれました。

ありがとうございました☆
