The Secret Behind Japan’s Indigo Workwear 💙🌿

For centuries, Japanese arborists and gardeners have worn deep blue, indigo-dyed cotton clothing—not just for style, but for protection! 🌱✨ Made from Indigofera tinctoria, this natural dye acts as an insect repellent, keeping mosquitoes and pests away without any harmful chemicals.

This tradition showcases Japan’s commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and eco-friendly living. The breathable, plant-based fabric is perfect for outdoor work, blending cultural heritage with practical innovation. In a world leaning toward fast fashion, Japan’s artisans continue to prove that nature has the best solutions!

Japan’s 200-Year-Old UFO Mystery 👽🛸

In 1803, fishermen in Japan’s Hitachi Province discovered something out of this world—a round, metallic craft floating near the shore. Inside was a pale-skinned woman with red hair, dressed in strange clothing, holding a mysterious wooden box. She spoke an unknown language, and her ship was covered in symbols no one could understand.

The vessel, known as Utsuro-Bune (虚舟, “Hollow Ship”), was about 12 feet wide, with crystal-like windows and a futuristic design—centuries before modern UFO sightings. The woman refused to let anyone touch her wooden box, and after local authorities failed to make sense of the situation, she was set adrift once more, vanishing into legend.

Was this an extraterrestrial encounter? A lost European traveler? A banished noblewoman? No one knows for sure, but the Utsuro-Bune remains one of Japan’s greatest historical mysteries, fueling theories of ancient aliens, secret exiles, and unexplained encounters.

What do you think—was this Japan’s first UFO sighting? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments! 👇

🐈‍⬛🍜 The Enchanted Cats of Saitama’s Hidden Restaurant 🍜🐈‍⬛

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Saitama, between old ramen shops and bustling markets, lies a family-run restaurant known for its home-cooked meals. But what truly makes this place special? The mystical cats of the display case. 🐾✨

For years, locals have whispered about the two feline guardians who mysteriously appear inside the food display—perched among plastic bowls of tempura and rice. Spirits? Lucky omens? Long-time residents of the town? No one knows for sure.

Every morning, the owner Oba-san gently removes them, and every afternoon, they return—watching, waiting, blessing each meal served. 😻🍽️

One day, a wandering food critic stopped by, drawn by the legend. As he observed, the white cat stared at him like a wise old monk, while the orange & white one lounged as if it owned the place.

When he finally tasted the food, he was shocked—it was the best meal he’d ever had.

“The flavors,” he declared, “are perfectly balanced, like yin and yang!” ☯️

Oba-san just smiled. Was it her recipe? Or the silent blessing of her feline guardians? Either way, from that day on, business flourished—and the cats remained, basking in the afternoon sun, ensuring every meal carried a touch of magic. ✨🐾

🐈‍⬛ Japan’s Oldest Cat Diary—From an Emperor! 🐈‍⬛

Over 1,100 years ago, a Japanese emperor fell in love… with a black cat. 🖤✨

On March 11, 889, Emperor Uda (only 22 years old!) wrote in his diary about a mysterious black cat gifted to the imperial court. His words are pure poetry:

📜 “Its fur is like the deepest ink… when it curls, it is like a sacred Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds.” 🐉

This regal feline was no ordinary pet—it was a creature of elegance, mystery, and rebellion. A cat fit for an emperor! 👑

💬 What do you think? Would YOUR cat be worthy of an imperial diary entry? Let us know below! 👇

😳 Arrested for WHAT?! 😳

A 61-year-old Austrian man was arrested in Japan last September for having s*x at a shrine with a Japanese woman in her 40s. 🚨

📍 The incident happened on August 22 in Kesennuma, a small coastal town 500 km north of Tokyo. The couple was caught engaging in the act on sacred grounds, leading to charges of disrespecting a place of worship.

🔗 Why was only the man arrested?
Japanese police deemed him a flight risk, while the woman was not considered likely to flee. He was later released, but authorities have not disclosed his punishment. In similar cases, penalties range from fines to potential deportation.

📢 Moral of the story?
Japan takes respect for religious sites VERY seriously. What might seem like a “thrill” can lead to serious legal trouble. When in Japan, respect the culture!

💬 What do you think? Should this be a more severe offense? Drop your thoughts below! 👇

The Mysterious Disappearance of Yokohama Mary: Japan’s 50-Year Pr******te

Known for her all-white attire and striking white makeup, Yokohama Mary stood on street corners in Japan’s port city for half a century after World War II. Born in 1921, she left her humble farming roots and found her way to Yokosuka, where she became a local legend—nicknamed the “Empress.”

Many say she was waiting for an American soldier who never returned. In 1995, she vanished from Yokohama’s streets. According to later reports, she quietly spent her final days in a care facility, away from the public eye.

Her life story remains a poignant reminder of the untold stories that lie beneath Japan’s neon-lit skyline.

Changes Coming to Japan’s Transit System You Need to Know!

Starting April 2025, select train stations in Tokyo will begin accepting credit and debit cards directly at ticket gates. Osaka and Nagoya follow soon after in summer 2024, making travel easier for both locals and tourists. Note that certain suburban and private rail lines will not join immediately, so be sure to check the official lists before you tap in. The benefits are huge fewer queues at ticket machines, no need to constantly top up an IC card, and a hasslefree way to hop around the city.

The Surprising Reason Why a Japanese Man Didn’t Speak To His Wife For Over 20 Years!

For two decades, Otou Katayama cohabited with his wife, Yumi, without speaking a single word. Instead, he relied on nods and grunts to communicate. Shockingly, Yumi never contemplated divorce—even as they welcomed their third child. What caused such extreme silence Jealousy. Otou felt overlooked when his wife devoted her attention to their children.

It took their nowadult children, with the help of a TV show in Hokkaido, to finally break the silence. Otou eventually revealed his reasons and spoke again. This story reminds us that unspoken feelings can drive a deep wedge in any relationship.

Ever Seen a Natural Occurring Flower Made of Ice?

Frost Flowers have been spotted on the surface of Lake Akan. These are delicate, icy formations that bloom under just the right conditions in very cold climates. Despite their name, they are not actual flowers but fragile ice sculptures that can appear on sea ice, frozen soil, or even plant stems. Aren’t they mesmerizing

Did Women Really Fight Alongside Samurai Armies⁉️

🧬 DNA tests on remains from the 1580 Battle of Senbon Matsubaru reveal that 35 out of 105 bodies were female. Archaeologist Suzuki Hiroatsu points out that 30 percent of casualties at battles without fortified castles were women, proving that female warriors onna-musha actively fought across Japan. Historian Stephen Turnbull confirms their pivotal role, showing that women contributed far more to Japan’s military history than previously recorded.

Our Story

Hello, Welcome to the page of Tokiotours. My name is Nicki Yoshihara and I am the founder and owner of Tokiotours. We have been showing people around various places in Japan since 2013 so we have a lot of experience in providing the best possible experience in Japan.

Since I am originally Dutch, we have a lot of Dutch speaking guides working for us in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and various other locations around Japan. All our guides are local people who have had extensive training in how to be the guide you need. We specialize in bespoke private tours. All our guides do their utmost to enhance your experience and to adjust every tour we do to the clients needs. That way our tours are never boring and always EXACTLY what you want them to be. On our website www.tokiotours.com we have a lot of suggestions on things you can do in and around Tokyo, Kyoto, Mt Fuji and various other locations, but in reality every tour we do is custom made and extra special. Why? Because we do our best to adjust the tour to only show you the things you are interested in. To only give you those back ground stories you want to know. To only take you to your favorite restaurants. To help you before your tour with picking out the best restaurant. To give you lots of tips and suggestions to make your stay in Japan everything you dreamed about. To make sure that even on the days you didn’t book a tour with us, you will still have a great time and are able to explore on your own with all the suggestions we gave you. The unmissable info that you can’t find in any guide books. The secret treasures only a local knows.
