Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

“Top notch tour guide”

Kanako was very well-spoken, attentive and responsive. She proactively reached out when weather forecast showed a typhoon might hit our port of call and reassured us that if the ship was unable to dock, she would refund us on her end. During the tour, she discussed the history and traditions of the sites we visited and was very flexible as to where we would go to lunch. We really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend her!

“An Unforgettable Kanazawa Experience with Mr. Naoto”

Visiting Kanazawa without a knowledgeable guide would mean missing so much of what makes this city truly special. Thanks to Mr. Naoto, I was able to gain a deep understanding of Japanese culture, the samurai era, the final years of the Edo period, and the fascinating world of the geisha. Mr. Naoto organized a comprehensive tour covering all of Kanazawa’s most important landmarks and historical sites. His knowledge of the city and its history is exceptional, and his ability to explain the cultural significance behind each location made the experience truly remarkable. Beyond his expertise, Mr. Naoto is incredibly intelligent, professional, and polite. From the very beginning, he made me feel less like a tourist and more like a family member visiting Japan. His warm personality and attention to detail created an experience that was both enjoyable and meaningful. One of the highlights of the tour was discovering places that only locals know about. These hidden gems provided authentic experiences that enriched my trip and allowed me to see a side of Japan that most visitors never get to experience. If you are planning to visit Kanazawa, I strongly recommend doing so with Mr. Naoto. The experience is worth every penny, and I cannot imagine a better way to explore and understand this beautiful city. Thank you, Mr. Naoto, for making my trip unforgettable. I am already planning to return to Japan next year, and I hope to have the opportunity to tour with you again. Valmir Marchiori October 2026

Dear Valmir, Thank you so much once again for writing such an incredible and deeply touching review for our Kanazawa tour! I am truly honored and humbled by your kind words regarding the samurai history, Edo period, and geisha culture we explored together. Guiding both you and Fabiana through Kanazawa—from the historic streets of Nagamachi to the unique local spots—was a complete joy. Your genuine curiosity and bright, cheerful personalities made these two days so special and memorable for me as a guide. Hearing that you felt like family visiting Japan is the highest praise I could ever ask for. Knowing that our time together in both Kanazawa and Toyama gave you such authentic and meaningful memories brings me immense happiness. I am thrilled to hear that you are already planning to return to Japan next year! It would be my absolute pleasure to welcome you back and guide you through Takayama or any other region you wish to explore. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for two fantastic days. Wishing you and Fabiana all the very best, and I look forward to seeing you both again next year! Warmest regards, Naoto

“The best tour on my trip”

Outstanding Experience with Mr. Naoto Mr. Naoto is truly an outstanding guide. My tour in Toyama was, without question, the highlight of my entire trip to Japan. His deep local knowledge allowed me to discover places that I would never have found on my own. Every location he took me to was unique, authentic, and absolutely worth visiting. One of the most memorable moments was having lunch at a local farm, where I was able to experience the true flavors of rural Japan and gain a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture and traditions. Beyond his exceptional knowledge, Mr. Naoto is a very safe and considerate driver. Throughout the trip, he made me feel comfortable and welcomed, almost like part of the family. If you are planning to visit Toyama or Takayama, I cannot recommend Mr. Naoto highly enough. Without his guidance, you would miss many of the hidden gems and authentic experiences that make these regions so special. Thanks to him, I learned a great deal about Japan, its people, and its remarkable culture. Thank you, Mr. Naoto, for an unforgettable experience. I will certainly return to Japan, and I look forward to exploring more with you in the future. Valmir Marchiori October 2026
