Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

“An Amazing day in Japan”

My wife and I have traveled to Japan before for business and pleasure. In the past, we were invited and entertained by the company I work for. This was the first time we made our own tour arrangements. I was skeptical about what our tour guide, Kent-san, had to say. Too often, you hear horror stories and claims that the whole experience was a total rip-off. To my surprise, Kent-san and the tour he led were outstanding. From the beginning to the end, he was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and most importantly, flexible. From the beginning, we told him that we wanted a historical and cultural experience. We were not interested in doing any shopping. Kent-san adjusted his standard itinerary to focus on Japan's cultural and historical sites, providing us with a richer understanding of the country. He was able to give us a more interesting tour and additional time for picture-taking (my wife is a shutterbug) at each site. Throughout the day we spent with Kent-san, his humble and patient demeanor made it feel like we were out with an old friend and not just a tour guide. I would highly recommend Kent-san to anyone looking for a notch-perfect personalized tour.

“The best tour guide!”

A friend and I were lucky enough to book a private tour of Hiroshima with Rika. She took us on a thoughtfully planned tour of some incredible historical sites and gave us unique information at every stop. Rika has spent most of her life in the Hiroshima area so she is full of interesting bits of trivia and showed us places we never would have found on our own. She even took us to an amazing hole in the wall restaurant with a food specific to the area. It was such a great meal and gave us a super local feel which was really cool. I can't recommend Rika enough, this tour was definitely one of the highlights of my Japan trip! She was even nice enough to take photos for us along the way and added so many little touches that made the tour feel personal and special. Despite the difficult and tragic subject matter, this tour was a lot of fun and I certainly learned a lot about Japanese culture and history! 5 stars :)

Thank you for the lovely review. Although it was only half a day, I really enjoyed the time with both of you. Your interesting stories and warm smiles made it special. Hiroshima has a tragic history, but I’m glad you were able to experience more than just that and feel its true charm. Please come visit Japan and Hiroshima again someday! Rika

“A fuller picture and understanding of Hiroshima as a city than you would get on your own”

Our group of four women visited the Peace Museum on our own and met Miyu-san afterward. The Peace Museum is a powerful place and walking through it is a very personal experience. The afternoon with Miyu-san afterward provided us with a fuller picture of Hiroshima residents before the war and after the bombing. After a leisurely but emotionally moving walk through the Peace Park, we walked through side streets, read plaques and learned their significance. We made a short trip to Hiroshima Castle but instead of touring interior opted to visit Mitaki-dera, a tranquil Buddhist Temple with three waterfalls. A perfect soul-filling experience to round out our day in Hiroshima. Miyu-san planned an excellent experience.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I truly admire the care and sincerity with which you visited the Peace Memorial Museum and engaged with Hiroshima’s history. I’m happy you enjoyed the peaceful walk at Mitaki-dera. It was a joy for me to spend two days with four wonderful women. I hope you made it home safely, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan and Hiroshima again someday.
