東京: 2時間半で北斎と相撲文化を知る

Naoko was amazing. She had complete command of both Hokusai works and all matters Sumo. In addition her English was perfect.

We booked the Hokusai and Sumo Culture tour in Tokyo with Naoko through Viator, and overall it ended up being one of the more memorable experiences of our trip! Naoko was an excellent guide. She struck a great balance between being knowledgeable and approachable, and you could tell she genuinely cared about making the experience meaningful for everyone in the group. At the Hokusai Museum, she didn’t just walk us through the exhibits—she helped connect the artwork to broader aspects of Japanese culture and history, which made it much more engaging than just reading placards on our own. Even my teenager, who isn’t usually into museums, stayed interested. The sumo portion was something we were especially excited about, and it didn’t disappoint. Naoko did a great job explaining the traditions, rituals, and structure of sumo in a way that made it easy to follow. Having that context really elevated the experience.

I applied because I found an interesting combination of theme activities. Thank you for studying from various angles. It was a hot walk in the city, but I felt the time was so quick with the careful explanation.

My tour guide Masahito was very knowledgeable about Meiji Shrine and the customs. He also knew well about the history of the shrine and it was fascinating to learn Japanese table etiquette at lunch. Great experience
