Japan Tour Reviews

Amazing guide

We booked Kaneo for 2 days to start our trip to Japan. He did a great job showing us a combination of historical sites and modern Tokyo. The lunch spots he picked for us were great and his organization of each day was perfect.

Thank you for your good review. I enjoyed the tour with your cute daughters. On the first day it was raining. I hope you could enjoy cherry blossoms even in the rain. And I am happy to hear you liked a very traditional ramen shop in Shibuya. I wish I can see you some day.

One day highlights of Kyoto: Fushimi-Inari (South Kyoto), Gion & lunch, Golden Pavilion (North West Kyoto) then back for sunset at Yasaka Jinja.

Koki was in contact with us from the start and very proactive in suggesting routes & things to see and asked us for ideas to incorporate into the day. He met us at the hotel & led us out on our day of discovery in Kyoto. It was a long day but well paced & we had a great stop for a sushi lunch in Gion before going North to the Golden Pavilion. All-in-all a good day. Koki was very informative throughout with lots of interesting & useful information about the sights, Kyoto & Japan more generally. He is a former schoolteacher so you can be sure that he has prepared for the day! Chris & Family

Hi Christopher & Family, Thank you so much for your kind words. I also had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto with the wonderful your family. Kyoto has so many sights to see. Please do come back to Kyoto if you have the chance. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Koki

Bespoke itinerary with a superb guide

Absolutely enjoyed our tour with Noriko who is punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. Being a tour guide is not just a job to Noriko. It is a passion as Noriko enjoys showing tourists the wonders and history of Okinawa ("Ikigai" to Noriko I feel). We felt very safe with Noriko's driving skill too. Thank you Noriko for the wonderful time! I enjoyed our conversation, the sanshin and singing very much. Thank you for your flexibility in accommodating our last minute itinerary changes. When we go back with our whole family we will contact you again to show us around!

Private Tours in Japan

Learning about Japan has never been easier with our local, expert tour guides leading the way, from a tour through Okayama, to the inner gems of Shikoku.

Ready to take on Japan’s sites and go beyond the usual? Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter is a beautifully preserved Edo-period district, and with a knowledgeable tour guide, you can encounter traditional architecture, willow-lined canals, and charming shops. From historical context, to share stories about the area, it’s time to see the land of the rising sun the right way.

To see a side of Japan not commonly noticed, talk to a local tour guide about peaceful pockets of relaxation like Iya Valley, a rugged setting with high cliffs, vine bridges, and traditional thatched-roof houses waiting to be explored.
