Guided tours, activities and other things to do

If you are planning a trip to Japan and you want to do something more than just visiting famous places and monuments, we suggest you to use Govoyagin.

How to use Govoyagin

Govoyagin is a very useful website to enrich your travel experience, especially if you are going solo or it's your first time in Japan.
Because of the language barrier (and more), in Japan it is very difficult to interact with the locals and to get off the tourist track.
Thanks to Govoyagin you can find a lot of interesting and sometimes unique guided tours and activities all over Japan (and not only in Japan), that you would otherwise never be able to enjoy.
But there's more: on Govoyagin you can also buy tickets for several famous attractions, events, transportation and other useful services for tourists. Last but not least, you can reserve a table in hundreds of restaurants.

Some examples

You can buy tickets in advance to visit some very popular attractions and skip the queue at the ticket office, such as the Tokyo Tower, the Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo Disneyland or Universal Studios Osaka
You can book unique tours and activities, like visiting temples in Kyoto accompanied by a samurai, or driving around Tokyo or Osaka on a go-kart dressed as Super Mario, or even playing videogames against an unbeatable Japanese otaku at his place
You can try the tea ceremony in Kyoto and watch a real sumo training session in Tokyo
You can reserve your table in a lot of restaurants, for example the many legendary 3-star Michelin in Japan, or the crazy Shinjuku Robot Restaurant
