Japan Tour Reviews

Family trip to the fish market

We had such a wonderful experience with Takuma as our tour guide in Tokyo! He took us through the fish market and introduced us to foods we never would have picked out on our own. We were traveling with a 1½-year-old, and Takuma was incredibly patient and accommodating the entire time. It was a very cold day and when we needed to cut the tour short to shop for a few baby essentials, he completely understood and even helped us. We truly appreciated his flexibility, kindness, and knowledge. Highly recommend booking a tour with Takuma if you’re visiting Tokyo!

A lovely tour with Chiaki

We had two excellent tours with Chiaki! We had a 4 hour tour the afternoon/evening of our first day in Tokyo, then a 6 hour tour the day after that. She was early to meet us in our hotel, and very well organized and professional. I asked for help to learn to use the metro system, and she carefully explained how to navigate as we went to different places our first day. We saw the Meiji Jingu Shrine, Palace outer garden, Shinjuku Hanazono Shrine, a shopping district (forgot which one), a very fancy department store, briefly walked through the golden gai district (it was still daylight), and a few other shrines and areas. We saw so much! Chiaki was very well organized and completely customized the tour to us. When we went to the Metropolitan Government Observatory to finish our tour at the observation deck and found a very long line, she quickly found an alternative and we went there instead. No line, and still an incredible view. In fact, it was near the harbor area, and after looking at other pictures, I think it was better. We had two wonderful tours with Chiaki, and I highly recommend her as a guide. She is very knowledgeable, and if she didn't have the facts, she quickly found them. She also is very prepared and helpful. Thank you for a lovely experience, Chiaki!

Wonderful tour guide!

We had two excellent tours with Chiaki! We had a 4 hour tour the afternoon/evening of our first day in Tokyo, then a 6 hour tour the day after that. She was early to meet us in our hotel, and very well organized and professional. I asked for help to learn to use the metro system, and she carefully explained how to navigate as we went to different places our first day. We saw the Senso-ji temple and area, Nakamise shopping street, Asakura museum (an interesting, hidden gem of a traditional house and art museum), Tennoji Temple and graveyard, and the Fukagawa Fudodo fire ceremony. (To me the fire ceremony was interesting for about 10 minutes, but went on for about 30, but I was also cold!) Chiaki was very good at telling us about the sights as we went and answering our questions. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and has a lovely laugh and sense of humor. I highly recommend Chiaki as a tour guide!

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.
