Top Tokyo Japanese Lessons

Language barriers can make traveling around Japan a challenging experience for a first-time visitor. This lesson is the perfect antidote for foreign visitors who don’t speak Japanese. Learn essential communications skills, such as how to order at restaurants, how to ask where something is, and lots of useful phrases for the trip. No need to worry about being stuck in a classroom—the tour goes to a local jazz cafe, and a standing bar, so you’ll get to see cool local spots as you learn.

Join our virtual tour and find out Japanese secret cultural stories by local guides. Relax and uncover our unique culture from your home! Hi! I've been working as a tour guide in Japan for more than 5 years. I guided many different types of tours such as nightlife tours in Shinjuku and Shibuya, food tours in Ginza and Tsukiji, and cultural tours of Sumo, Zen, and anime! Through many experiences of tours, I acquired deep insights of Japanese history and culture . Because Japan is an island and never got colonized in the history, unique cultures were developed such as Samurai, Geisha, Ninja, and Sumo. However, it's often too deep to understand those cultural aspects for foreign tourists. We can talk about our cultural curiosities! I will be offering this experience with a group of friends who are also experienced tour guides and passionate about sharing the secret stories with you. ＊All times specified are in Japan Standard Time(GMT +9:00).

Did you have to change your planned travel but still want to go to Japan? Are you interest in culture and tradition? Would you like to taste a piece of Japanese culture but cannot leave your home? Join us on a virtual experience to discover the secrets of the visit at the SHRINE! Japanese culture specialist Mr.JAPAN will accompany you in a typical visit at the shrine (“jinja”) explaining manners, rituals and curiosity. How to purify yourself before going to greet the god, which is the right way to do an offering and how many times you have to bow in front of the main shrine, is only a few things you will learn in this workshop. Also, we will try to put into practice what we have learned and, at the end, we participate in a live ceremony by a real Shintō priest, the most ancient Japanese religion. Join Mr.JAPAN and his fellow FUNYA, the limply cat, on their funny and fascinating tour and become a shrine master!
