We had a very lovely evening! Everyone was so friendly, the food was freshly prepared and tasted great, and the music performance was so much fun. Plenty of opportunities to take pictures in front of the beautiful Tokyo Skyline. Special thanks to Karen and the rest of the crew!

Cool way to see Tokyo and learn more about its history and culture. Traditional Japanese live music and singing was a highlight and our guide Yoyo was very smart and fun to talk to. I would recommend going at night for the the lights of the city!

The afternoon "houseboat" ride was nice but we were inside the cabin. I would have rather been on an open upper deck. The tour turns into a bridge tour. Thankful that we had entertainment from Yuzu Natsumi. She played traditional music, some folk music and then played the anthem song from the Tokyo Olymic Ceremony. Loved that part! I'm sure the dinner tour would have been much better but it was sold out.😒
