Sake in the tent with everyone, it was the best New Year’s Eve. I was able to enjoy the New Year's Eve atmosphere of Japan without getting tired of efficiently going from izakaya to countdown park to shrine of fox procession
この度はツアーに参加していただきありがとうございます。観光地ではない地元のスポットで一緒に日本の新年をお祝いできたことを嬉しく思います。私達は小さい旅行会社にしかできない本物の日本体験やユニークなツアーを提供しています。また機会があればお会いできることを楽しみにしています！ Thanks so much for joining our tour! We’re so glad we could celebrate the Japanese New Year together in a local, non-touristy spot. As a small travel company, we really pride ourselves on offering authentic Japanese experiences and unique tours that you won't find anywhere else. We hope to see you again for another adventure in the future! Miyuki & Hitomi and team
I was really looking forward to this New Year’s Eve tour, expecting a traditional celebration, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. From the beginning, the organization felt disjointed. Our group had around 30 people, and the guide would start speaking before everyone had even arrived, and when she did, it was so quiet that it was difficult to hear her. It was frustrating, and it was clear she needed a microphone. It would have been much better if she had waited for the whole group to gather before beginning. We then spent two hours at a restaurant that felt like a waste of time. It seemed more focused on getting people drunk than creating a memorable New Year’s experience. The “unlimited drinks” offer was confusing and didn’t add anything positive to the evening. The biggest disappointment, however, was the Fox Parade. We were promised a great viewing spot, but that was far from the reality. We should have arrived at the parade location at least an hour early, but when we did get there, the guide seemed surprised by the crowd, despite it being New Year’s Eve. We tried to follow her to find a better spot, but she led us to the start of the parade, where we couldn’t see anything. Eventually, we were moved to the temple where the parade ended and had to stand there for an hour. By the time it reached us, it simply went up the temple steps, and we still didn’t get a good view. They had promised us the best spot, but it definitely wasn’t. We left feeling incredibly disappointed. The tour was nothing like what we had imagined, and to make matters worse, the transportation afterward was a nightmare. The train would have taken us until 6 a.m., so we had to scramble to find another way to get home. On the positive side, our guide was friendly, and we did visit some beautiful temples, but overall, this experience didn’t live up to what we had hoped for. We never got to see the parade, which was the highlight of the evening, and it was a major letdown.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. This event, which had been canceled by Covid, resumed the year before last after a three-year absence, and the turnout exceeded our expectations. The fact that there were no roped off areas for the parade at the last stop was also unexpected, as we had been waiting for an hour and were unable to see the parade due to the crowds of people who came later. If we had known this information in advance, we could have directed you to a different location. Since microphones are not an option in a residential area at night, we are considering increasing the number of guides and dividing the group into several smaller groups. Some people said the time spent at the izakaya-pub was short, some said it was long, and everyone is different, but next time we are considering renting out an appropriately sized izakaya-pub and having guests enjoy drinks while watching a presentation on Japanese culture and traditions. Regarding the difficulty in getting back to the hotel due to the limited number of trains, we will either try to obtain train schedules in advance and let you know, or we will discuss with local tourism associations that can provide a place to rest after the parade to avoid the peak hours. We look forward to welcoming you next year with even more improvements. Miyuki
I enjoyed Japanese local new year eve and It was great to meet many people.the sake and yakitori in “izakaya “ were delicious but it was troublesome to order menu on tablet.The tour guide was enthusiastic and likable. Unfortunately, there were many audiences and it was not easy to see the “ fox procession”,but it was also good experience.
We are very honored by your appreciation and helpful comments. We hope you enjoyed the real local atmosphere of participating in a local festival in a non-touristy place. The ordering tablets in the Izakaya pub are complicated and confusing at first. Next time your guide will help you! The crowds were great, but next time we will improve the tour to give you a better view of the parade and make it more enjoyable. We will continue to hold events in cooperation with the local community, such as cherry blossom viewing in the spring, sake brewery tours, and summer festivals to enjoy Bon Odori dancing with the local people. If you ever come to Japan, please join us! And of course, don't forget say Kanpai! Miyuki & Hitomi
Very good and friendly tour guides, enjoyed going around the shrines and seeing the real culture of Japan, going for food and drinks after the tour was a very wholesome experience on New Year’s Eve very much recommend going on this tour.
We are very honored to receive a 5 star rating from you. It was a very rare experience to visit a shrine and to hear the story at night. We hope you enjoyed the mysterious and solemn atmosphere. We are committed to not only providing sightseeing, but also to share with international visitors the Japanese culture and traditions that lie behind the scenes. We will hold this kind of event in cooperation with the local people, so if you ever come to Japan, please join us! Let's Kanpai together! Miyuki & Hitomi
Shrines were beautiful and food as well highly recommend excursion if you are looking for something to do at night time .
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We really appreciate it! It was a cold night, but we had a HOT time with all of you and it was a very valuable New Year's Eve. We will hold this kind of event in cooperation with the local people, so if you ever come to Japan, please join us! See you soon! Miyuki & Hitomi
I feel bad for this review. Group was too large, over 50 people. It felt disrespectful to the shrines we visited. I felt embarrassed as people would point at our group as we passed and took over the area. For a three hour tour, I left in under an hour because I was so embarrassed. I wished they had capped the group size or split into smaller groups as this was not fair for locals trying to utilize their traditions. It was also not friendly for the elderly in our group as they encouraged us to hop barriers that they could not. There was one guide who spoke and many people in the back could not hear. I have been on many tours in Japan and have never felt this.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. First of all, we have been working with the local tourism associations and organizing committee since the planning stage of this tour. They are very pleased that international visitors are interested in this event. And we organized the tour in response to their request to tell international visitors that it is not a festival but a Shinto ritual and to let them know about Japanese culture and traditions. The tour description stated that the number of participants was 30, but due to applications from other agencies, the final number of participants was 45. Because it was in a residential area, the microphone was not available and it was sometimes difficult to hear the guide's voice. However, at the restaurant we visited after you left, three guides went around to each table and made every effort to answer the questions. We regret that we made you walk on a path that was partially difficult to walk, but it was unexpected for us as the barriers were not yet in place when we previewed the area in the morning. Next year, we would like to divide the tour into several smaller groups and consider routes that would allow everyone to travel comfortably. We look forward to welcoming you next year with even more improvements. Miyuki
