Japan Tour Reviews

Kyoto with Leo!

I had a great day today exploring Kyoto with Leo! We chatted the whole time about Kyoto’s history, different Japanese traditions / customs I wasn’t familiar with, and we visited different shrines and temples (and now I know the difference lol). We also visited a few shops that had things I told him I was interested in while setting up the tour and that was super nice! I never would’ve seen the areas we went to if it wasn’t for him. Exploring Japan solo has been really wonderful, but getting to spend today with Leo was a treat! Definitely recommend.

A Quiet Day Exploring Ohara

Our first day in Kyoto was in Ohara, a small but historically significant town NE of the city. Our guide reached our multiple times prior to our meeting to confirm day/time, but also inquired about what our hopes were for the day together. Shuji was on time and we found him to be the ultimate guide for this all day experience. As a retired history teacher, and native to the area, we had a guide with deep insight to places we explored together, which included 800 year old temples punctuated with hip coffee and lunch spots along the way. This was exactly what we were looking for after a hectic pace in Tokyo! If you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable guide to show you to the lessor seen corners of Kyoto, Shuji is the man.

Thank you for the kind words! We had a nice day with you two. You knew how to enjoy the tour and appreciate the place and its history. We could travel to places that are less crowded but still charming. We enjoyed Ohara very much. We can't expect such a nice tour often. Thank you for the happy talk, too. Have a great time in Japan!

Pleasant trip for first timer

Etsu was an amazing guide in Tokyo. She picked me up directly at my hotel, which made everything very easy, especially since it was my first time in Japan. We visited Tsukiji Market and Tokyo Skytree, and she made getting around Tokyo simple and pleasant. We also stopped for matcha ice cream and had a few meals along the way, unagi, dango etc. I had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo for the first time. Thank you!!

Thank you for your comment. I was so happy to guide you and enjoy girls' talk. Also it was precious time for drinking beer together. You were so cute and had a great sense of humor. Also, you looked like you were having fun, especially when you were browsing the Soramachi area. If you have a chance to come again, let's go bar hopping at night. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Once again, thank you for coming all the way to Japan.

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.
