“Popular” on this page means the number of reviews Viator shows for the product (Viator's combined count of reviews left on Viator and Tripadvisor); when two products have the same count, the higher rating comes first. It is not a recommendation by Japan Trip Math. Prices are Viator's lowest “from” price in US dollars on the fetch date; the price for your date, group size and option can be higher.
