    Im going back to Japan again in April and my folks decided to tag along :noooo:

    So I need your help, I need to get them off my back so I can enjoy my vacations and I was thinking of sending them off on some sightseeing excursions(?), to see some temples and nature and all that crap.

    But I really dont have any idea where to look for these...
    Anyone know of any tourist agencies who organize these sort of trips in the Tokyo area?

    I know this is really underhanded but if you absolutely don't want to go with them you could always cancel their tickets. That way you'll be forced to go alone when they get to the counter and discover the "Mix Up". Just be sure they are refundable.

    lol..and what's the purpose of your visit. oh let me guess, akiba shopping to the end, roppongi loitering, meeting gals to explore some love hotel interior etc.

    Mainly shopping and seeing some friends.
    I really hated akiba last time I went there, tons of nerdy gaijin buying all the stuff on their shopping-lists to later resell on ebay.

    I just want to chill with my g/f and have a nice vacation and not having to "babysit" my parents all the time

    Unfortunately the tickets are non-refundable or I would convince them to go at a later date

    I really need to find them a couple of guided tours to get them off my back, any ideas on where to find these? o.o

    whats so hard about just asking them for some privacy? just be honost and tell them you want some quality time with your girl and just hang out with them a couple of days and buy them a sightseeing book as a present (hint) to go travel around for the rest of the holidays.. something like "lonely planet" is a good book to find the tours/things to see and so on.
    they should understand this, they have been young as well and in that position where they didn't want to hang out too much with their boring parents.

    boa sorte ;)

    Just chuck them on a bus tour, most hotels offer them from their reception, they will be gone for a good few hours, see the touristy stuff and you can do your own thing.
