59% off a kintsugi accessory workshop in Shibuya

Kintsugi is the Japanese craft of mending broken ceramics with gold, so the crack becomes part of the piece instead of something to hide. In this one-hour workshop in Shibuya, an instructor shows you how to bond ceramic fragments and finish the joins in gold powder. You then turn the result into something small to take home, such as a pendant, a pair of earrings or an ornament.

Why we like it: all the materials are included, you don’t need any experience, and it’s a good way to spend a rainy hour.

Worth knowing: this is a quick, beginner-friendly version that uses modern resin. Traditional kintsugi uses urushi lacquer and can take weeks to cure, so don’t expect the full process in an hour. Instruction is in English and Japanese. The meeting point is on a basement floor, so follow the directions in your booking confirmation.

Sale price: From ¥2,000 per person. (Usually ¥4,900).

30% off a self-guided mystery walk in Asakusa

This one is self-guided, which is the whole idea. You pick up a kit at the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center, then work through a booklet of riddles and stamp hunts that steers you past Kaminarimon, the big lantern gate, and Sensō-ji Temple, and on into the quieter streets most visitors walk straight past.

It takes one to two hours, at whatever pace suits you. The kit comes with two snack tickets, a tote bag, a postcard, and a magazine of local spots put together by people who live there. Finish every mission and there’s a final reward waiting.

Worth knowing: the pickup point is worth a look in its own right. The architect Kengo Kuma designed the building, and the eighth-floor terrace is free, with a view over Sensō-ji and Tokyo Skytree.

Sale price: From ¥4,620 per person. (Usually ¥6,600).

20% off a sushi-making class near Tokyo Tower

In this 90-minute class, a sushi chef shows you, in English, how to make nigiri (hand-pressed sushi) with favorites like tuna and salmon. You can dress up in a Japanese costume while you work, and then you eat what you’ve made.

Why we like it: it’s built for beginners, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free versions are available if you ask at least a day ahead.

Suggested Activity
Shinjuku Nightlife Walking Tour & Golden-Gai Bar Crawl
Sample local cuisine at the best hole-in-the-wall eateries, experience quirky bars in the Golden Gai area and take a stroll (that's all) through the infamous red-light district

Worth knowing: the venue, Sushi Garyu, is in Higashi-Azabu, about five minutes’ walk from Akabanebashi Station on the Toei Ōedo Line. When it’s busy, you may share a table with other guests. Children aged 3 and under can join for free if they share an adult’s plate — message the venue before you go so they can set a seat.

Sale price: From ¥7,920 per person. (Usually ¥9,900).

10% off a Mt. Fuji full-day sightseeing tour from Tokyo

Leave the logistics to someone else and spend the day at Mt. Fuji’s best-known viewpoints. The guided coach tour takes in Lake Kawaguchiko, the Chūrei-tō Pagoda at Arakurayama Sengen Park, the spring-fed ponds of Oshino Hakkai and Lake Yamanakako. You meet the coach in Shinjuku or near Tokyo Station, and the day runs to about 10 hours.

Worth knowing: lunch isn’t included, so budget for it or pack your own. Guides speak English and Mandarin. And Fuji is shy — it often hides behind cloud, so pick a clear-looking day if your plans allow.

Sale price: From ¥8,751 per person. (Usually ¥9,723).

Offer ends: November 5, 2026

Yakatabune autumn deals for children and students

Yakatabune are covered party boats that cruise Tokyo’s rivers and bay while you eat and drink on board, and they’re normally a pricey night out. From October 1 to November 30, 2026, the operator Edomae Kisen is running two separate autumn deals. They’re aimed at different people, so check which one applies to you.

For families: children of elementary school age and under ride for a flat ¥1,100, against a usual children’s fare of up to ¥5,500. That’s up to 80% off for the kids only, since adults pay the normal rate. Each adult can bring up to two children at this price.

For students: junior high school, high school, vocational and university students aged 25 and under pay ¥5,000 on weekday cruises (weekends and national holidays excluded). The regular rate is ¥7,900 to ¥8,900, and the student price covers a two-hour cruise with all-you-can-eat monjayaki (Tokyo’s runny, griddle-cooked cousin of okonomiyaki) and all-you-can-drink. Bring student ID, or you’ll be charged the full rate.

Worth knowing: both deals only work if you book directly with Edomae Kisen, on its own site or by phone (03-6276-9963), and mention the campaign when you do. Third-party booking sites don’t count. Special sailings such as cherry-blossom and fireworks cruises are excluded. The campaign pages are in Japanese, but the operator’s main site has an English version.
