Kintsugi Class in Tokyo - Hands-On Pottery Repair with Gold Powder

What an amazing experience in Tokyo!!

Reviewed by: Paula

Such a fun activity with my 16 year old daughter. We went to the studio and were pleasantly surprised to find out if was a personal lesson for just the two of us! Our teacher was so lovely and you could tell how passionate she was about her craft. She explained the whole process thoroughly and helped us if we needed it on each step. The packaging so we could transport our projects back home was also amazing. I did not expect to have that done for us either! Highly recommend if you're into arts and crafts!!

サンセットクルーズ　ライブミュージック＆多彩なディナー／サプライズ演出・記念日対応可／那覇埠頭発＞

I had the best two hours! 最高の2時間が過ごせました！

Reviewed by: 猫太郎

This was my second time using the service, following last summer. A week after my trip, my eldest son, who missed last summer's trip, will be turning twenty, so I wanted to arrange a surprise for him. I tried to make a reservation, but it happened to be a day off. Since it was the day before, I emailed to inquire if a surprise could still be arranged, explaining the situation. I received a response indicating it would be difficult. However, the next day, I received an email saying they would check with the operating company, and as a result, they were able to switch the day off to the day of the event and the day of the event to a day off. This was truly a surprise. I quickly made a reservation for four people. On the day, we enjoyed a delicious Wagyu steak course while being celebrated by a Hawaiian singer who resembled Susan (sorry) through a surprise performance, making it the best birthday celebration a week in advance. I don't remember the name of the singer (let's call her Susan), but she went around greeting each table while playing the ukulele and even saw us off on the deck when we left, providing wonderful hospitality and performance throughout. It was a two-hour experience that made me want to come back next year. Thank you very much.

昨夏に続いて2度目の利用。渡航の1週間後に昨夏不参加だった長男が二十歳を迎える事からサプライズ演出をお願いしたく予約を入れようとしたところ、丁度運休日。前日だと8日前の為、サプライズ演出は可能かを事情も入れメールにて問い合わせ。難しい旨の連絡を頂く。しかし翌日、催行会社に問い合わせてみる旨のメールが届き、結果、運休日だった当日を催行日に、催行日だった前日を運休日とし、入れ替えて頂ける事になったとの連絡を頂く。これぞサプライズ。早速4名で予約を入れた。当日は和牛ステーキコースを美味しく頂きながら、スーザン小雪似の（すいません）ハワイアンシンガーの方にサプライズ演出にて祝って頂き、最高の誕生日1週間前となりました。名前は覚えていないスーザン（仮）さん、各テーブルをウクレレを弾きながら挨拶して回られていたり、帰りもデッキで見送って頂き、終始素晴らしい振る舞い、パフォーマンスだった。また来年もお世話になりたいと思える２時間だった。有難う御座いました。

Koto Music Lesson For All Ages in Kyoto

A great experience

Reviewed by: Eric

Since I arrived early to the appointment, the instructor started the lesson earlier with little preparation needed which was very much appreciated.

The lesson itself was great. Even though English was harder for her, she still communicated well how to play the instrument by demonstrating and giving verbal explanation, which helped me learn quickly. Since I had learned the song she had prepared for the lesson, she was flexible and had two other songs that I could play and I had a great time learning and playing the instrument.

She also gave me small sweets and took the time to talk to me after the lesson. She took the time to accommodate beyond what I had expected from the lesson, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn.

奈良駅発 日帰りバスツアー 法隆寺＋中宮寺＋慈光院＋薬師寺＋唐招提寺＜約7時間／昼食付／JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発＞

Knowledge, inspiration, and excitement! A wonderful trip to Nara (We walked a lot in the scorching heat!) 知識と感動と興奮！素晴らしい奈良旅（猛暑の中たくさん歩きました！）

Reviewed by: aki

In February of this year, I used a walking tour in Vancouver through Veltra and had such a great experience that I decided to rely on them for my trip to Nara as well.

This trip to Nara, which I had longed for, also served as a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of the manga "Hidari no Tenko," which I was obsessed with in my youth. It had been over 30 years since my last visit during a school trip.

The guide from Nara Kotsu was fantastic, with a smooth and engaging storytelling style. I was captivated and was able to explore this dream destination filled with emotion and excitement. Despite the scorching heat, I appreciated the thoughtful services like the loan of parasols and cold towels.

The sliced narazuke I bought as a souvenir at the lunch spot, Benkei, was incredibly delicious, and I regret not buying more. (To be honest, the lunch itself was a bit disappointing...)

The stories from the head priest at Jiko-in were interesting, and my husband and I found ourselves excitedly discussing them on the way home.

Traveling with a guide was more efficient than going solo, and I gained deeper knowledge from the guide's stories, making me love Nara even more.

今年２月にバンクーバー街歩きツアーをベルトラさん経由で利用してとても良かったので、この奈良旅もお世話になることにしました。

若い頃ハマった漫画「日出処の天子」聖地巡りも兼ねて念願の奈良旅へ。修学旅行以来30余年振りでした。

奈良交通のガイドさんのよどみのない話ぶりが素晴らしく、聴き惚れながら、感動と興奮に包まれて憧れの地をめぐることができました。
猛暑日でしたが、日傘の貸し出しや冷たいおしぼりをご用意いただいたりと細やかなサービスがありがたかったです。

昼食処の弁慶さんでお土産に買った刻みなら漬がとても美味しく、もっと買ってくればよかったと後悔中。（昼食自体は正直イマイチ…でした）

慈光院のご住職のお話が面白く、帰路で主人と何度もその話で盛り上がりました。

個人でまわるよりも効率良く、ガイドさんのお話から知識が深まりより楽しめ、奈良がますます好きになりました。

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Absolutely Amazing Night Out Experience!

Reviewed by: Kyoto Dream

A really memorable and amazing experience with this Maiko Dance and dinner tour. We were escorted to a beautiful and spacious dining hall at Shozan Resort Kyoto. It is an incredibly lovely resort with a beautiful Japanese garden. A traditional and a delicious Japanese dinner was served. (Menu: Saki dzuke “appetizer”, Ha sun “ha-sun assortment”, Otsukuri “sliced raw fish”, Ipoin “a dish”, Konami “small saucepan”, Agemono “fried food”, Gohan “rice”, Kounomono “pickle” , Mizumono “dessert”, While we were enjoying our dinner, a stunningly beautiful Maiko (her name is Kimisora, the meaning of her name is dream) came out onto the stage and performed a brief dance. Kimosora san talked about some geisha history and her own stories of how and why she becomes a Maiko. Kimosora san was fascinated about geisha and their stories when she was a kid and determined to become a geisha one day. She is a friendly and sweet and elegant lady. Her English is excellent. She also showed us her extraordinary beautiful kimono and her special makeup and hairdo. Surprisingly we were given an extra long Q and A time (at least 30 mins or so) with her and we could ask any questions. She answered every question attentively and precisely. At the end we could all take several photos with her. (A reminder to myself : never touch the geisha hands or their clothes and this is an absolute respect to a geisha). During the whole meeting I could also take many photos freely. Kimisora san gave us her name card at the end of the dinner. It was a really really wonderful and memorable evening. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to meet a maiko in an extremely relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. If I ever visit Tokyo in the future I would join this tour again. A great and joyful life experience. My best wishes to Kimisora san and thank you Veltra for making my dream come true.

奈良駅発 日帰りバスツアー 法隆寺＋中宮寺＋慈光院＋薬師寺＋唐招提寺＜約7時間／昼食付／JR奈良駅・近鉄奈良駅発＞

A budget bus tour packed with information to understand Nara in just one day. 奈良が一日で分かる情報たっぷりの格安バスツアー

Reviewed by: まほろばヤマト2024

I visited Nara with my wife for the first time since our elementary school field trip. Back then, we had a whirlwind trip over two days, visiting Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka, so my memories of Nara were limited to seeing Kofuku-ji reflected in Sarusawa Pond and feeding the deer in Nara Park.

When we decided to go to Nara this time, I initially thought about renting a car to visit the main shrines and temples. However, considering that I was unfamiliar with the area, the challenge of securing parking, the high individual entrance fees, and lacking knowledge about the shrines and temples, I felt that even if we went, it wouldn't be enjoyable. So, I searched online for a good tour plan. I happened to come across a one-day tour organized by Nara Kotsu that included Horyu-ji, Yakushi-ji, and Toshodai-ji, and I made a reservation, albeit with some skepticism about its cost-effectiveness.

Once the tour began, it turned out to be a delightful bus trip, with our skilled driver, Mr. K, ensuring safe driving, and our bus guide, Ms. Y, providing a humorous commentary filled with information about the temples we visited. The tour progressed on time and was more enjoyable than I had expected. After the trip, we stopped by an izakaya and enjoyed local Yamato vegetables and tofu dishes while sharing impressions from the tour over some local sake, creating new memories together.

　小学校の修学旅行以来の奈良見物を妻としました。当時は、一泊二日で奈良、京都、大阪を巡る強行旅行だったためか奈良の思い出と言えば、猿沢池に映る興福寺と奈良公園内で鹿にせんべいをやったことしかありませんでした。
　今回奈良に行くと決めた当初はレンタカーを借りて、主要な神社仏閣を見て回ることを考えましたが、やはり土地勘もない上、駐車場の確保、割高な個人拝観料、見学する神社仏閣に関する知識・情報がない状況では、行った事実になっても、何も面白味がないと思い、ネットでお得なツアープランを探しました。たまたま奈良交通主催「法隆寺、薬師寺、唐招提寺」等を巡る一日ツアーが目に止まり、コスパ・タイパになるツアーか半信半疑のまま早速予約を入れました。
　実際ツアーが始まると安全運転で熟練のドライバーＫさんと見学先の仏閣の表・裏の情報を交えたコミカルな話しぶりのバスガイドＹさんの息の合ったツアー劇場が時間通り進行して、予想以上に楽しいバス旅行となりました。旅行終了後は、居酒屋に飛び込み、妻と地の大和野菜や豆腐を使った料理、ツアーでお互い印象に残ったことなど肴に地酒など呑みながら、新たな思い出を作りました。

However, unfortunately, the meal was terrible.
If possible, I would like to see a course option that allows for a choice between including meals or having free time for meals.

Kyoto Private Kaiseki Dinner at Traditional Restaurant with Maiko Dance Show

An experience of a life-time!

Reviewed by: M.H.S.

We went into it without prior knowledge of the venue, the actual setup or the details of the experience, and i was at awe of the arrangement and the experience, truly a once of a life-time experience you cannot miss if you plan to visit Kyoto!

The venue was superb, the restaurant being reserved solely for us, a genuinely private experience. However, I have to note that the initially, it wasn't a pleasant start due to a misunderstanding by the host restaurant staff. As the lead of the group I approached the front door of the venue, only to be shouted at by an elderly male saying that this is private and i have to leave. I tried to approach him to show him my reservation as i was trying to explain that we are the ones who booked the venue but his attitude got more aggressive and did not want to hear anything i had to say. I was not going to start the experience with conflict so i left and got in touch with the emergency number on the voucher, who immediately resolved the issue and the man later apologized for his behavior. I understand that tourist have been a bit of a hassle lately for Kyoto and hence do not take it personally, however for future reservations, please note of this and don't let it ruin your day.

As for the main experience, there are no words to summarize how magical, pleasant and lovely the rest of the evening was. The translator, an expert in Geisha Tradition was superb, providing us with a detailed history of the tradition and guiding us on how to enjoy the experience as it plays out. The shimasen, Gecko, Geisha and Maikos made us feel like honorary guests and provided us with the most authentic and personal experience we have ever enjoyed, a lovely mix of dance, song, food, entertainment and conversation. Although i say it is a once in a life-time experience, i will definitely book when i visit the country again!
