Wonderful local experience, a sincere guide

I have visited Japan many times. The tours Alisa organizes always provide an exceptional experience. She always run on schedule, and you are never treated dismissively just because you are a foreigner. I was initially embarrassed about getting naked, but I quickly got used to it—since everyone else was naked too LOL. There was also a thorough briefing beforehand. I had a wonderful time soaking in a clean open-air bath and interacting with the locals. The Japanese people are always so kind whenever I visit. My tattoo is small, but it wouldn't be an issue even if it were large. Regardless of tattoos, however, I would recommend this experience to all travelers. It isn't a manufactured tourist attraction; it is a genuine and wonderful Japanese tradition!

Thank you for your review. I am delighted that you had an authentic Japanese experience! NicoTour Japan / Alisa

Lost in Tokyo with no help from the “host”

I could not find the meet up so I contacted the “host” and asked if I could have the address of onsen to meet them there and never got a response back. I will never use Tripadvisor again. If you’re trying to do something in a foreign country, maybe having a little bit of latitude with people not being able to find places would be helpful. Ironically, I found the onsen myself so I would never have needed you anyway.

Operator response

We apologize that we could not meet your request. As previously explained, this was a joint tour, so we could not keep the other guests waiting. Since you were late without prior notice, we departed after sending you an email. Our staff subsequently contacted you with every possible suggestion, but it is unfortunate that you apparently did not see the email. NicoTour Japan

Great for Open Minded First Timers

I actually did this tour in February of 2024, but I remember it very clearly as Alisa was our guide to the onsen. She was extremely professional and made an initially awkward experience in nudity at the onsen very natural and enjoyable. No one cared about what your body looks like or what it one it. It’s a very inclusive environment great for anyone who wants to experience this traditional relaxation. Alisa also treated us to some drinks afterwards at a local bodega of sorts. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent experience. Local and comfortable

This experience was excellent, we were guided by Alisa to a local onsen, and despite being nervous she made it so comfortable. She talked us through everything beforehand and came with us in each area before allowing us to explore on our own. I am quite heavily tattooed and it was hardly even looked at! Alisa even recommended a locally favourite drink for afterwards. the experience was fantastic and I would recommend it 1000%

Operator response

Thank you so much for your review. I know that visiting a local hot spring for the first time can be a bit nerve-wracking. But I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope to see you again soon:D NicoTour Japan / Alisa

Authentic Onsen Experience

We didn’t really know what to expect at the Onsen but Alisa explained everything very clearly and it turned out to be a great experience which we both enjoyed.

Don’t be on time

Fair warning when they say they leave on time they mean they leave early…we arrived at the meeting exit at 4:01 and there was nobody in site for the group…they messaged me at 4:02 saying they had already left and couldn’t wait…what a waste of money

Operator response

As you mentioned, other guests there, so we left on time. If you had contacted us in advance, we could have waited. We apologize for causing you any disappointment.
