Yeah, I think a known brand name — even if they’re known for something else, like books — may make some people more comfortable, too.

I’m surprised at how expensive these are, actually – the “Samurai and Snow Festival” tour is $1,700 bucks for a bunch of attractions, mostly in Tokyo, that are pretty easy to get to without a tour guide. By comparison, here’s a $1,800 tour that takes you to Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, Nara, Hiroshima and Miyajima…

If these sell well, it’ll be because they do great targeted marketing, not because the tours themselves are any great shakes.

I have to admit the Ultimate Ninja Tour sounds pretty cool, though I imagine tours of former ninja villages are popular enough that you could arrange one yourself. I wonder about the “Gothic and Lolita” tour since the only customization I notice would be the trip to the fashionable Harajuku district, which I expect would appeal to more than fans of the gothic style… maybe that’s a more devoted niche?

Yaoi Bishonen & Boys Love Tour, the Gothic & Lolita Tour, and the Ultimate Ninja Tour…

This has GOT to be an experiment done by the most F’d up Sociologist on the planet. There can be no other explanation.

Okay, to be fair, I suppose its less creepy than the share a cruise with your favorite soap stars (or editors of The Nation for that matter). But still…
