[Kanda River Cruise Tour] Departing from Nihonbashi Pier! Introducing a Tokyo sightseeing cruise plan that takes you around the Sumida River and Kanda River on a chartered boat!

2019/03/05

Hello to everyone reading the Activity Japan BLOG. 2019 has come so quickly that it's already March and the warm spring is just around the corner. I don't like the cold, so I look forward to the arrival of spring every year, no matter how much pollen there is in this year! This year is a turning point from the Heisei era to a new era, and with the new Emperor's accession to the throne, May 1st will be a national holiday, so the main event of spring, Golden Week, will be a 10-day holiday! I would like to take advantage of this historic long holiday to go on a trip to a southern island like Okinawa or Hawaii, but due to work commitments, it seems that this dream will not come true... So, in this blog, I would like to introduce to you the "Tokyo Sightseeing Cruise Tour Plan" that I, a Tokyo resident, was searching for nearby leisure activities and found interesting, even though I had no connection to it myself.

Fulfill your desire to fly in the sky with the popular hot air balloon experience in Furano, Hokkaido.

2019/01/12

Hello to everyone who is viewing Activity Japan. I'm so stuck at home that I don't go out. But I want to go on a trip somewhere... I was really jealous when I heard that my friend went to Hokkaido, but I shiver just thinking about -15 degrees Celsius. But I want to go somewhere. When I think of activities that can be enjoyed in the winter, I think of physically hard things like skiing and snowboarding, but I was looking for something that I wanted to do and relax, and I found out about the experience of riding a hot air balloon. It's a much easier way to fulfill your "desire to fly in the sky" than skydiving or paragliding. But with a hot air balloon experience, you're just riding, so I guess it's more like floating on a vehicle than flying in the sky. I'm curious to know how much of a floating sensation you can experience.

I want to spend a luxurious time on a romantic two-day, one-night Christmas cruise aboard the Asuka II.

2018/12/07

Hello everyone who is watching Activity Japan. I drew a bad fortune at Sensoji Temple. This is Shishimaru. It's not often that something like this happens, right? It's like a lucky thing, isn't it? Will I be able to spend this Christmas with a wonderful person? Will I be able to go window shopping in the gorgeous city of Tokyo, where illuminations shine, and enjoy a stylish dinner at a restaurant with a beautiful night view? I thought that such wonderful things might happen, so I should plan my Christmas carefully. I think the best thing to do would be to watch a movie at United Cinema Toshimaen, then go skating at Toshimaen and drink a lot at a yakitori restaurant, but I've looked into a more romantic plan, so I'd like to introduce it to you.

[Recommended Mt. Fuji Buggy Experience] Ride a 4-wheel buggy (ATV) through a spectacular course! Popular shop "Vap Co., Ltd." in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture

2018/11/07

We're focusing on VAP Co., Ltd., a shop located in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, an area that is known for its magnificent views of Mt. Fuji. This is a recommended shop in the Mt. Fuji area on our website, offering a set plan that includes a 4-wheel buggy (ATV) ride on a 6km-long panoramic course built on a vast site overlooking Mt. Fuji, as well as a paragliding experience where even beginners can fly through the sky with an instructor at the controls. Using an ATV all-terrain vehicle (4-wheel buggy), which is rare nationwide, you can experience off-roading, steep slopes, riverbanks, etc., even if it's your first time, after receiving a lecture from an instructor who is well versed in vehicles.◎ We have plans that anyone can enjoy, including those who love vehicles, families with children, groups of friends, and couples.♫

[Odaiba Christmas Cruise] Our family is planning to blend in with the couples on their date and enjoy a romantic cruise on a popular ship, which is sure to be fully booked!

2018/10/25

The plan I'm thinking of booking instead of the Meguro River illumination cruise is this Christmas cruise plan! Like the Meguro River plan, this is a shared-ride style Christmas cruise plan run by Anniversary Cruise, a major company that runs charter cruises in Tokyo and Yokohama, with two trips per day from December 22nd (Saturday) to the 24th (Monday, holiday), Christmas Eve. It's right in the middle of the Christmas season during the December holidays, when couples are usually going out on dates, so there are only six trips in total, so it's hard to say whether you'll be able to get a reservation, but it's definitely going to be popular, isn't it?

"Meguro River Illumination 2018" I'm interested in the cruise plan to see the illuminations from a boat. How much does it cost? When will it be held?

2018/10/22

Well, what caught my eye this time was this Meguro River Cruising Plan! It seems to be a plan that allows you to enjoy a luxurious time on a chartered boat while viewing the illuminations of Meguro River, which has become a seasonal feature of winter in Tokyo. My son is a typical man who gets super excited when he rides on a "vehicle," so this small boat, instead of a large ship, is just perfect for him. Well, if it was just for that reason, there are probably more simple plans, but since it's the season of illuminations when the city is colored, I'm planning to book a slightly romantic cruise plan that can also be used as a date with my wife (although it's actually more difficult with a child lol).

[Hiroshima, Okunoshima] A plan to experience "pottering" on a bicycle around the world-famous "Rabbit Island"! [Now accepting reservations]

2018/10/10

Did you know that Okunoshima, one of the islands in the Geiyo Islands in the Seto Inland Sea in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is now attracting attention not only from within Japan but also from around the world as "Rabbit Island (Rabbit Paradise)"? There are various theories as to why it has become so famous and why so many rabbits live there, but surprisingly, there are more than 700 wild rabbits living on this small island, entertaining many tourists both from within Japan and overseas. The only way to access this "rabbit paradise" is by ferry from Tadanoumi Port in Hiroshima Prefecture and Mori Port in Omishima, Ehime Prefecture. It is an extremely small island with a total area of about 0.7 km2 and a population of only 22 people, with only those who work at the restaurants, shops, accommodation facilities (vacation villages, visitor centers) on the island. This time, we will introduce a guided pottering (※1) tour from the plans posted on this website, where you can enjoy sightseeing on the island by bicycle. This season will be held until the end of December, so if you are interested, please make your reservation early.

Take a sightseeing cycle tour of Okunoshima, also known as the "Rabbit Island"! Learn about the history of the island, where a wartime poison gas factory remains!

2018/10/06

I just read an article about "Cycling Shimanami 2018," an event that involves cycling along the Shimanami Kaido in the Seto Inland Sea, which connects Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture and Imabari in Ehime Prefecture, and it really made me want to go. The Shimanami Kaido is also known as a "holy land for cyclists" and has been featured on overseas websites as one of the most amazing cycling routes in the world, so it seems to be quite popular. After doing some research at Activity Japan, we found an attractive plan that allows you to enjoy both the Tatara Bridge, one of the Shimanami Kaido routes, and Okunoshima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture, also known as "Rabbit Island," so we'd like to introduce it to you. When you think of Hiroshima, the Atomic Bomb Dome and Itsukushima Shrine, both World Heritage sites, are what most people think of, but Okunoshima is also a valuable tourist spot where you can learn about Japanese history. I've been there before, and I really think it was worth going, so I recommend it!

Book a helicopter charter in Tokyo and have a romantic date when you're rich...

2018/09/27

If a friend says "I've been on a helicopter," I'll say "That's nice," but it's just a polite gesture, and I'm not that keen to try it myself. But helicopters have those headphones with a microphone so you can talk, right? I think they're kind of cool, so I'd like to try them. I'm into people talking into intercoms. That sort of feeling of talking with your mouth a little closer to the microphone gives the impression of being a capable person. Speaking of being a capable person, I also think it's good to talk with your phone tucked between your cheek and shoulder. I always end up dropping my phone.

A public road kart rental shop in Shinkiba, Tokyo! Apparently it has the largest store area in the Kanto region!

2018/09/13

A few years ago, when I first saw them driving around the streets of Odaiba, Akihabara, or Shibuya, I was surprised and thought, "What is this group of game-like miniature cars... is it some kind of filming?", but now it's become a common sight. Everyone is wearing costumes and looks like they're having so much fun, I think that's really cool. It's great how they wave back when you wave from the sidewalk. It seems like most people are wearing costumes, but the price doesn't include costume rental, so I'm wondering how much it costs to rent one.

[Osaka/Naniwa] For events and sightseeing! Ride around on public road karts!

2018/08/18

Public road karting in Namba, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! This is it!! When I've seen them around town before, I've always wondered if they were karting enthusiasts or people from a gaming club. It was an activity. I was so ignorant! I want to live a quiet life, but when I look at the photos, I get a strong party animal (huh? Is that an obsolete term?) vibe, and I feel embarrassed to be attracting attention from people in the city, but if it's a case of "forgetting your shame on the road," then it's okay...I guess. lol

Must-see for Fukuoka travelers! Experience a spectacular cruise in Hakata! Board a boat and enjoy the beautiful night view of Hakata Bay and the Naka River.

2018/08/13

When you hear Hakata, the first thing that comes to mind is gourmet food like motsunabe (offal hotpot) and ramen, but of course there is more to the city. Just a 20-minute train ride from Tenjin is Fukuoka's representative bay area, Fukuoka Tower, Seaside Momochi Seaside Park, and the Fukuoka Yahoo! Dome, a hidden gem where you can shake hands with celebrities. As you can see, Fukuoka city is packed with must-see attractions, with Hakata at the center. There is a plan that allows you to have the wonderful experience of enjoying the scenery created by all these buildings and facilities from the water at night. This time, we will introduce you to the Nakagawa River Cruise, which focuses on the night view.

A very popular spot in Otaru, Hokkaido! Blue Cave Tour

2018/07/06

There are famous hidden places called "Blue Grotto" all over the world, but Hokkaido, Japan is! One of the three major tourist spots (Otaru, Shakotan, and Shiriuchi) known for its scenic beauty, the Blue Grotto. This tour boards a sea kayak and departs from the Otaru Canal to cruise the wide blue ocean, the only marine quasi-national park in Hokkaido. The main attraction is the "Blue Grotto", where you can see the beautiful blue color of the sea surface only when various conditions are met. Its charm is not only the wonderful scenery, but also the seabirds and, if you're lucky, you might even encounter dolphins! I heard in the reviews that there are also sea lions. I'd love to see this. It looks impressive. You'll definitely feel like you're on an adventure inside the cave! It's a fulfilling tour guided by a guide. Children will be delighted!

Decided for September! We have started researching activities you would like to experience on a trip to Ishigaki Island! Part 4 is a special edition: Okinawa culture experience. Ride a "Sabani" and feel like you're at the sea!

2018/07/05

Sabani (shark boat) is a wooden fishing boat that has been passed down since ancient times in the Ryukyu Islands. Naturally, engine-powered boats are the norm in modern times, but the experience plan I found this time seems to allow you to experience a Sabani, which is traditionally paddled by wind and human power. It's truly an Okinawan cultural experience, an umichu (fisherman) experience! Moreover, this plan can be participated in by children from 0 years old, so it's an activity on Ishigaki Island that I'm thinking of booking with my 3-year-old son, as it can be enjoyed by him. More information can be found below.

A photogenic cruise around Yokohama's Red Brick Warehouse on a comfortable cruiser that's sure to impress on social media

2018/06/14

This is a photogenic cruise plan that you can only experience in Yokohama. You can take attractive photos around the best spots unique to Yokohama Port, such as the Red Lighthouse, Yokohama Port, Red Brick Buildings, and Minato Mirai! You can enjoy the scenery from the cruise ship that is sure to be Instagram-worthy and social media-worthy.

The "STAR ISLAND" fireworks display will be held at Odaiba on Saturday, May 26th! I'm interested in the cruise plan where you can watch the fireworks from the boat in Asakusa!

2018/05/14

At STAR ISLAND, held at Odaiba, about 10,000 fireworks will be launched over Tokyo Bay. This is an attractive plan to watch the fireworks from a cruiser with an observation deck that departs from Asakusa. This plan is a simple cruise reservation ticket that does not include meals or drinks, and after boarding in Asakusa, you can enjoy a cruise around Azumabashi Bridge ⇒ Ryogoku Bridge ⇒ Kiyosu Bridge ⇒ Eitai Bridge ⇒ Kachidoki Bridge ⇒ Odaiba ⇒ Etchujima Pier, etc. During this time, from 19:40 to 20:40, STAR ISLAND's fireworks are launched, so you can enjoy the spectacular fireworks.

On Saturday, June 2nd, you can watch the Yokohama Port Opening Festival fireworks from a boat on a viewing cruise! This is a fireworks viewing experience for adults that you can enjoy without the crowds!

2018/05/13

Hello to everyone who is viewing Activity Japan! I've been concentrating on researching activities at Lake Yamanaka lately, and I've finally decided on the activities I want to try. At that time, a friend invited me to the "Yokohama Port Opening Festival" to be held in Yokohama on Saturday, June 2nd, so I looked into the event and found out that it's also a popular annual fireworks display, so I looked into the "fireworks viewing cruise" plan. I don't like fireworks displays because they're crowded and there are a lot of people, but I've always wanted to see them from a boat, so I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to invite my friends.

[Reservations accepted for pleasure boats in Tokyo Bay, Sumida River, etc.] Recommended for banquets such as year-end parties and New Year parties! Enjoy the spectacular views of the Tokyo Bay area!

2017/11/24

With only about a month left in 2017, we are entering the exciting season of drinking parties such as year-end parties♪ For such year-end and New Year parties, typical izakayas, bars and karaoke are the norm, but Activity Japan's highly recommended style of year-end and New Year parties is a large banquet enjoyed on a "houseboat"♪ There are plenty of houseboat boarding plans that are recommended not only for group drinking parties such as companies and student groups, but also for small parties such as friends and couples' dates (￣^￣)ゞ
