Japan Tour Reviews

“Tokyo special tour.”

Yumi was very thoughtful and a pleasure to spend time with. I enjoyed seeing Tokyo and Yumi was the perfect guide. I was very happy in Yumi's company and I was able to see much more of Tokyo than I thought possible. There was a lot of helpful advice given to make the day personalised and special to me. Communication before the tour was excellent, every question was answered and I felt very confident that the day would be tailored to my interests. I cannot thank Yumi enough for being so attentive and kind, very interesting and sharing her knowledge of Tokyo and Japan. Thank you Yumi for a very lovely special day from Caroline. Xx

“Spectacular day with delightful guide ”

Our day in Sakata was carefully planned by Pure Water. His communication prior to our ever meeting him was very detailed oriented and thorough, making sure all our needs were met. He designed a wonderful tour that included the most delicious authentic Japanese lunch followed by a visit to a tea house which included a traditional geishas' dance performance. We visited historic temples and strolled along a picturesque tree lined stone paved walkway, paralleling the historic Rice Storehouse. We would highly recommend Pure Water to design a future tour when visiting Sakata. He is caring, delightful and an outstanding guide.

“A memorable look into Tokyo life”

My siblings and I had a tour with Akira that brought us to some of the more well known and lesser known parts of Tokyo. From Shinjuku to Sugamo, we saw some beautiful gardens, shopped at local markets, and tried some delicious food. We learned a lot including how to make prayers and offerings at Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, using public transit, and a couple Japanese phrases. Akira was a wonderful guide through all of it and was always willing to share his experiences or listen to ours. I will definitely seek him out again if/when I come back to Tokyo and will be recommending him to others! Domo!

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.
