Watch sumo up close at Tokyo Sumo Room, then eat a chanko-style meal and try a ring bout in a small dojo setting in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa.

Cruise Tokyo Bay on a yakatabune, enjoy shamisen and dance, dine on sukiyaki hot pot, then catch daylight views from Tokyo Tower.

Tokyo Bay yakatabune dinner cruise from Shinagawa to Skytree and Rainbow Bridge, with fresh multi-course food and unlimited drinks.
“Activity was great. But be aware… Google maps sent us somewhere that was not the location.”
Make ramen noodles from scratch and gyoza in a real Tokyo restaurant with a bilingual chef, broth choices, and a take-home e-book.
“The ramen cooking class was amazing! I went as a solo traveler with several food allergies and Andrew and his team were extremely communicative and never made me feel like the alternate options were burdensome. Learning the history of ramen and the process of how it’s to be made was an amazing experience that I’m grateful to have had. Also the ramen and gyoza tasted delicious!! 🤤 I’ve already started using the recipes that we were sent to start my own shoyu-tare for my ramen at home!!”

A small-group Tokyo kaiseki dinner with an authentic geisha performance in Asakusa, plus time to talk through an English interpreter.
“This was a one of a kind adventure. We were so fortunate to book this tour. However, people need to be aware that they will have to climb stairs. It might keep someone handicapped, unable to take the tour.”
Kaiseki dinner plus traditional dance and music at SUIGIAN, Tokyo’s shrine-garden spot in Nihonbashi with a Noh-style stage and seasonal courses.
“What a wonderful nihon-buyo performance! Everything about the dance was beautifully put-together, and learning about the history of the decorations and artwork featured in the restaurant was also wonderful. I also definitely appreciated the English-language explanations of the food and the performances. The kaiseki food was also artfully plated and quite delicious. It was a great way to get an authentic cultural experience and meal to celebrate my birthday!”
Tantra Tokyo in Roppongi pairs short burlesque/pole shows with a one-course dinner, one drink, and a photo stop near Roppongi Station.
“So it’s a 15min show twice in a nightclub with dinner in between. Don’t expect a full 1.5hour show.”
Benitsuya in Shimbashi: intimate geisha dance, Kyoto-style kaiseki dinner, ozashiki games, and kimono photos in 90 minutes.

Ueno night food tour with a small-group guide, about 9 dishes plus ramen, Japanese sake, and drinks across local spots, ending where you start.

Learn nigiri at a Michelin-listed standing sushi spot in Shibuya, make 10 pieces, taste 10 more, and take home chopsticks.
“Don’t miss out on this chance for real learning and delicious food! After suiting up with sushi chef outfits, our chef and teacher taught us the deceivingly simple method for making sushi — it was hard to make our nigiri look as perfect as the master chef’s nigiri! We worked with beautiful cuts of fish and had a great time crafting and eating.”
