A guided day trip from Tokyo to Mt Fuji’s 5th Station and Hakone, with Lake Ashi cruise, ropeway views, and Shinkansen return.

“This was the most fun we had on our trip- just a blast! Everyone was terrific and we learned a lot and laughed hysterically in the ring with the wrestlers.”
A 90-minute interactive sumo show in Tokyo with retired wrestlers, a tonkatsu-chanko lunch, and friendly bouts plus costume photos.
“This was a fun and entertaining experience. The host was great and the wrestlers were entertaining and friendly. I wouldn't say it was a deep dive of sumo but a cursory history and overview which I didn't mind and knew going into it. I appreciated the opportunity to engage as much or as little, along with the photo op for my family. The food was good and I only wished I could have ordered a huge bowl of the soup vs the tonkatsu because it was so tasty.”
A Tokyo Shinjuku pro sumo show with a bilingual MC, audience participation, dohyō challenge, and a photo moment, all in about 90 minutes.
“This was a great introduction to the world of Sumo! The MC was fantastic and the wrestlers were so happy to share their art form with the audience. Totally worth it!”
See Mt Fuji 5th Station, Lake Ashi cruise, and the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway in one coach day from Shinjuku, with optional lunch and taiko.
“Well organised, smooth travelling, very pleasant informative guide and wonderful scenery. The drum show at lunch was also entertaining. Lunch was tasty and delivered well.”

“The first time I experienced sumo and it went with an explanation! It was totally worth it and an unique experience”
Tokyo Bay yakatabune dinner cruise with sukiyaki, unlimited soft drinks, live shamisen music, and night views of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower.
“The music was exceptional! Beautiful views of the Tokyo Bay both before and during the cruise. Worth the price. Get there early.”
Samurai entertainment at Tokyo’s Kanda Myojin Shrine with drinks, optional dinner, chicken hot pot, and end-of-show photos.
“Well here we are again. This is my seventh time to visit this show and I mean the number already tells everything I guess. I would visit this show every week if I could. Amazing acting, sound effects, choreography and music makes this the best samurai show in town. I love all the characters and how cool they are. My favorite story is the Spiderwoman and the Butterfly, the Black Fox and obviously Tairo no Masakado story. You can take pictures with the actors after the show and talk to them. This a must see thing in Tokio !!!”
Ride a traditional yakatabune through Tokyo Bay for shamisen music, sukiyaki dinner, soft drinks, and panoramic Tokyo Tower views.
“A Truly Amazing Experience with Shela! I absolutely had to write this review for Shela—her service was truly amazing! She went above and beyond to be incredibly helpful at every step, making sure every detail was covered and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. W hat really set her apart was her wonderful attitude and energy; she made the whole experience fun and enjoyable from start to finish. I will enthusiastically recommend Shela to anyone and everyone! If you get the chance to work with her, you won't be disappointed.”
Watch Kabuki at Tokyo’s Kabukiza Theatre with English or simplified Chinese captions, live music, and monthly changing programs.
“This was a transformative work of art. I had seen Kabuki theatre once in an old movie and i looked at it as a spectacle; something unusual and foreign. The performance I experienced was elevated beyond performance to pure art!!! Art to submerge yourself in, a touch to all the senses and providing song for your soul xxx Do yourself a favour and book your tickets now!!!”
Watch a real sumo morning practice at Takasago-beya with a journalist guide, get photo access, and learn the rituals in Tokyo.
“Excellent experience in Tokyo! I would highly recommend. We spend the first couple of hours watching the sumo practice and then we had a conversation with the guide. Extremely knowledgeable and a very pleasant experience overall.”
An intimate Tokyo show of Japanese wagakki instruments (koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, taiko) with English explanations and a surprise western cover.
“It was a wonderful experience for both musicians and non-musicians. The guide was perfect, translating and explaining the various instruments and leading the concert. These high-level musicians managed to move me with their cultural compositions😊”
Watch a pro sumo stable’s morning practice at Takasago-beya, take photos with wrestlers, and ask questions in a small Ryogoku-area group.
“Loved watching the sparing. The team of our 2 guides were excellent. Their information and explanations and enthusiasm was a lot of fun and very informative. We would have liked information on the white and black belts ahead of the match. We appreciated coming later at 8:15 but the seating was challenging for us.”
Watch traditional Japanese music in Tokyo’s Omotesando with live wagakki, clear English explanations, and a cozy, close-up one-hour concert.
“These were very talented musicians. The explanations between musical numbers was very educational and the interpretor did a great job.”
