Japan Private Tours

“Fantastic Guide for Tokyo Rated A++++++”

Hands down, the best guide anyone could use for Tokyo. Informative, knowledgeable, and passionate about showing you Tokyo as only a local could. We engaged Melody twice while in Tokyo, and each time was filled with exploration, discussion, or listening to Melody give a masterclass on the history of Japan that would make a professor proud. His expertise of Tokyo is astounding. From areas no one would even know about (Hide and Seek Alley) to shopping, he knows it all. Melody took us to restaurants you wouldn't know existed that were superb. Best of all, the day is centered around what you want to do and see. No sight or wish is too small, Melody makes them all come true. But truly the best part of spending the day with Melody is Melody himself. He is a warm, loving individual who becomes less of a guide and more of a friend as the day progresses. His North Star is to make you happy, and I can guarantee that he delivers. I'm embarrassed to admit Melody stayed with us way past his ending time because he wanted to show us more of Tokyo. There are no constraints as to what he can do. Whatever you desire, Melody succeeds in providing. I cannot say enough about Melody as a guide and as a person. He is joyful, generous with his wisdom, and just a good person to accompany you through Tokyo. Read the other reviews to confirm my comments. If you don't select Melody you are losing out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy Tokyo with the city's best guide AND person. I highly recommend Melody as your guide, he is flat out fantastic!

“A Delight To Meet And Do Another Tour With Kumiko”

I selected to do a tour with Kumiko in 2025. I've just done another one in 2026. I will most likely do so again in the future. I think that speaks for itself.

“Noriko is the best at what she does!”

I am very glad I booked a tour with Noriko which taught me so much about wartime in Okinawa during WWII. Even during the drive she had a vast amount of insight into the places we were passing and modern life in Okinawa, which prepared me for going back in time to perhaps the Ryukuan's darkest period. It was heartbreaking to read the testimonies of survivors who had to experience such horrors that would haunt them forever. After the peace museum and walking the rows and rows of reported casualties, we went to a true treat of a restaurant that was a house built in 1891 that actually survived the war and had bullet holes still in some of the walls. You may sit at a table or a chabudai with tatami mats which is more traditional and a great combination to the eating experience. I'm quite glad I hired Noriko otherwise I would not have found such a great spot! Next, we went to Okinawa world at my request and saw live performances, many of Okinawa's plant and animal inhabitants, and even a 300,000 year old cave 890m long! It was pretty quick to see all of this so we even went to a WWII bunker and finished off the day learning a bit more about history. Anyone looking to learn a ton about Okinawa's history during this time would be wise to hire Noriko! Her english is excellent and she really fills the day out with a lot of great educational sights to see.
