Discover Asakusa from a rickshaw, a truly special way to explore. Imagine gliding through the enchanting streets of Asakusa in a traditional rickshaw, just as the nobles of Edo-period Japan once did. This centuries-old mode of transport offers a truly magical way to experience Tokyo’s most cherished historic district.Whether you’re seeking that perfect Instagram moment or yearning to experience Tokyo as the aristocrats once did, this intimate rickshaw journey promises memories to treasure forever.

2　Step Aboard a Traditional Yakatabune

Sail into an evening of enchantment aboard a yakatabune, a traditional Japanese pleasure boat whose history stretches back to the Heian period (794-1185). Once the private reserve of nobility who used these elegant vessels for their leisure pursuits, yakatabune truly flourished during the Edo period when improved waterways saw feudal lords and wealthy merchants hosting elaborate flower-viewing parties, moon-gazing ceremonies, and fireworks displays.

Today, we invite you to continue this centuries-old tradition as you drift along the historic Sumida River, the same waters that bustled with activity during the Edo period. As you dine on exquisite cuisine in your floating restaurant, Tokyo’s magnificent nightscape unfolds before your eyes. Marvel at the illuminated vistas of Odaiba and other Tokyo landmarks, whilst in spring, experience the magical sight of illuminated cherry blossoms from your unique vantage point on the water.

3　An Exclusive Evening with Tokyo’s Geisha

Whilst the words ‘geisha’ and ‘maiko’ might instantly conjure images of Kyoto, this refined culture of traditional entertainment houses flourished equally in Edo (present-day Tokyo) after its origins in Japan’s ancient capital. Today, Tokyo’s remaining hanamachi (geisha districts) proudly preserve this elegant tradition.

We invite you to an extraordinary private evening at Tsukiji Jisaku, one of Tokyo’s most prestigious traditional restaurants. Here, in an intimate setting reserved exclusively for our guests, you’ll be entertained by accomplished geisha from one of Tokyo’s six historic geisha districts. Savour exquisite kaiseki cuisine whilst experiencing captivating performances that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

Witness the Power of Sumo: An Intimate Morning at a Traditional Wrestling Stable

Experience the raw energy and ancient traditions of sumo wrestling up close with this extraordinary morning adventure. Watch in awe as mighty sumo wrestlers engage in their morning practice (asageiko), where the thunderous clash of bodies echoes through the training stable.

Whilst some moments of their intense training might make you wince, these powerful displays offer a uniquely Japanese spectacle that few visitors ever witness. After observing their rigorous practice session, you’ll have the remarkable opportunity to feast on chanko nabe – the hearty hot pot dish that helps build champions – prepared by the wrestlers themselves.

This intimate experience extends beyond mere observation. Engage in fascinating conversations with the wrestlers and their master (oyakata), discovering the secrets of their daily lives and training routines. Feel free to ask questions about this centuries-old sport and the dedication it demands from its practitioners.

Your morning at the sumo stable offers an authentic glimpse into one of Japan’s most revered sporting traditions, complete with personal interactions and culinary delights that few outsiders experience.

*Please note: This experience is not available during tournament seasons.
