Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were welcoming, competent, and knowledgeable teachers in the art of Kintsugi. While the project we worked on was simple that day they showed me other examples and possibilities of this art form. They have been practicing this art form for over 30 years and their passion shows. I left feeling very inspired, with a list and exactly where to source needed supplies to continue Kintsugi at home.
Thank you very much for this fantastic experience!

Not enough stops, not enough pick-up points.
English narrative was good.

It is worse than a similar service in Hong Kong by three criteria:
1) Flexibility for Hop-On and Off users
Purple and Red paths differ only by 3 stations. A short (3-stops) Purple extension to the Red one would be a better option for covering all sites.
2) Usage as an all-weather carrier from point A to point B.
No sitting places on the lower deck is a serious disadvantage on rainy or too sunny days.
3) No Russian language in the list. Adding this option is cheap and will draw more customers from CIS countries like myself (My wife does not speak English and I had to translate for her)
4) The good news is that Tokyo service is organized better than that in Kyoto :)

Having to line up for 45min at the ticket office to redeem our prepaid voucher when unreserved people could purchase tickets 15 mins before was frustrating to say the least. Not enough buses, had to wait over an hour for the next bus only to wait in line again for people who had not purchased their tickets. The audio recording stopped half way through the description and was often out of sync with the locations.
If your interested in historic or cultural sights and information, don’t waste your time and money on this tour.

My family and I enjoyed the tour, it was informative and so much to see and take in...
I liked the audio narration option on the tour, it was presented in English
I would recommend the tour and to arrive as early as possible, furthermore it leaves the option of going back to explore further by using the “ hop on and off “ option...

We found this tour to be well worth the money. It was easy to exchange the online voucher at the office and immediately catch the purple line. The purple line was significantly more interesting than the blue line, but both were worth it. This was an effective way to get around Tokyo and see many beautiful areas. Highly recommend.

This is definitely a great way to start your tour in Tokyo. The bus ride over the bridge to Tokyo Bay is exhilarating! Just make sure you sit all the way at the front because the wind on the high way is no joke. There are multiple buses so if you want to see more stuff you can easily switch. The price is about the same if you were to take the underground metro, but you get a guided tour instead on the bus! Thanks for a great experience!!

Easy to buy tickets and very friendly staff, but the audio guide was really uninteresting, almost boring. Often landmarks were discussed after they had already passed out of view. Stops are spaced very far apart, and not necessarily where you would want to get off. It's a reasonable way to spend a sunny day but expect to take the subway to get where you want to go.

This was an outstanding experience. Traveling to Tokyo from the US for the first time, I really wanted to find an affordable kintsugi class, as I had read about the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold, highlighting flaws as beauty, and the metaphor is just so beautiful to me. I also have an art background and love learning how to preserve & repair rather than throw away.
The class was more than I could have hoped for. I booked with my husband, and brother and his girlfriend (both who live in Tokyo). The owners (husband and wife) were incredibly hospitable in their sweet little craft shop, even showed us their ceramics lab next door. They greeted us with homemade cakes and apple tea, as well as the rice crackers that we love. The class was very easy to follow, and all questions were answered with enthusiasm and demonstration (it was just the 4 of us learning kintsugi and one other person working on jewelry, so it felt totally like a private class). There is a bit of a language barrier that non-Japanese speakers should be aware of. We were lucky to have my brother and his girlfriend who both speak the language to translate when needed. Even if we didn't, though, I would still have done the class. So much of learning craft is just watching and doing, strict verbal communication is not necessary. I'd maybe just suggest learning how to ask the specific questions you know you'll have ahead of time so they can show you during the class.
All in all, only wonderful things to say about this class. Next time I am in Toyko, I'd love to try another one of their classes. :) Thanks so much for an awesome experience on our honeymoon!!!

I had the best time. The studio is very small and authentic. I got a lot of one on one time with the owners and they kindly helped me fix my own broken mug. They ran over by nearly an hour to help me finish. They were both so kind and attentive and really good at what they do. I would recommend this to anyone! Please go try it out. It's a nice change of pace from visiting downtown Tokyo.

My sister was visiting me in Tokyo and we took this one-day trial class together. Our teachers were knowledgeable, friendly, and spoken enough English that we (with very little Japanese language skills) were able to communicate without any issues. We had a great time.

This was one of the better hop on/off bus tours I did in Japan. The timetables were fairly good and there was a good number of stops. Staff were all very friendly and well informed about the bus routes. I recommend doing both blue and purple routes.
On the blue route most people only get off at Tokyo Skytree and it is worth it. However, the next bus is in an hour and then 1.5hrs (2.5hrs from when I got off). I just about managed to get back down within an hour because I bought a fast lane ticket at double the price, because I didn't want to spend 2.5hrs at the one spot.
As they only accepted a printed ticket from their office it meant finding Veltra office. However, I wasted a bit of time in the morning finding Veltra. I eventually found it when I asked Sky Bus Tours office where Veltra was and they said "that's us" - don't know how I was suppose to know that. So you should google map search Sky tours not Veltra.
The most annoying thing about the tour was the timing of the guide audio; it was either interrupted by the next location fact or it'd say "look to your left and you'll see..." and it was nowhere in site. I think this could be resolved if the driver went slower. Alternatively, investment in a better audio system would be ideal judging from other people's reviews.

The bus and the route were good but the commentary was poor. There could have been so much more information provided, about the history of the city, interesting characters that have lived in Tokyo, about the design of the city, about the evolution of architectural styles, about how people lived 100, 200 years ago. I stead the commentary was dull. A pity.

We were not able to see the whole of Tokyo. Since they hardly speak english, we missed our bus. And the next bus we had to take was on its way back to our pick up point. If we take another color coded bus, it would be too late for us to go back to Shinjuku where we are staying.

I must say this was one of the best way to see complex city like Tokyo. It was far beyond my expectations. The route covered was awesome, buses were excellent. This saves lot of time that one would spend otherwise understanding Tokyo subways, finding way to the station and out of station (this is huge concern if you have kids). The flexibility to get down on designated spot and hopping on was great. Only suggestion I would give is like in case of Roppongi Odaiba course, the gap between hop on and hop off is too large (almost 3 .5 hours). If they can shorten this, it will provide more flexibility to hop off at more places. Thanks for the good times.

In this course, I could see the outline of Tokyo.
But it was really boring.
-It was freezing day, so I had an impression that would have been needed something to make us warm, like hokkairo. I doubt the company can't make an effort to let the customer spend good time.
-Audio explanation had often been interrupted before it finished. Automatic audio system seems difficult to function in this type of the transportation. The company should provide the human guide for us to explain.
-The explanations itself were sometimes trivial matters, not essence of things.
It wasn't worth to pay enough for 3500yen.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our class with Kuge crafts! We started with introductions and some lovely home made cake. Then we got to chose our cups that we will work on and keep. Would recommend to pick a cup with a bigger chip as that would mean a bigger part of the cup will be fixed.
The process was easy to follow as Yoshi showed step by step examples. They also provided the tools and materials (i.e. putty, gold dust, resin etc) which made it a convenient class.
At the end, we received photos taken during the class and a list of tools and materials we can purchase at Tokyu Hands if we wanted to continue back home. The teachers were both friendly, inviting us to write back if we had more questions.
A great class and would highly recommend for a memorable experience!

Bus is always on time and does not stay long at every post. You'll get to every destination without having to worry about the travel time.The audio guide is useful as well since it is in sync every time we approach a certain stop. For a tourist with limited time to explore, this activity is very much recommended!
To be candid, I feel the limited time per location 2-3mins tops (if I remember it right) is too short to fully appreciate the experience. But the good thing about this, you'll be able to visit and take pictures at these iconic places.

I booked the bus for a specific day, unfortunately that day was wet. The bus takes a great route around three different areas. we stayed on for the whole three journeys. the audio becomes a little repetitive when you travel the same roads. However the bus was great you sit up top so that you have the best view of the city. the down side is that if it is raining, you get wet. you are supplied with a wet weather poncho to wear which keeps out most of the weather but they blow around and inhibit the view. If I had of known this I would have not booked a specific day but an open ticket.

i bought the vouchers on line, and was told to exchange for tickets at the office at skytree or mitsubishi building. we walked for 3 miles to get to the skytree office and it was closed. we went to the skytree station as the map told us, but that was not the stop. the bus was good once we finally got on it

Although, it rained our ENTIRE tour, we still had a good time. They provided plastic rain jackets which were great and we just stayed in the bus the entire trip around the city. Because the tickets are 24 hours, we were able to hop back on the next morning and actually see some sites OFF the bus. I forgot to print out my online ticket, but the ladies were able to work with the screenshot I showed on my phone. overall great experience.
