Japan Tour Reviews

Arigatou Toshiyo

Toshiyo is a very experienced tour guide. She has an enormous wealth of knowledge and as a native of Kyoto she is perfectly knowledgable about this city. We felt well taken care of in every situation. Our goal to see as much as possible in this short time (1 day) was fulfilled. Our gratitude goes to this unique woman.

Hi Mauro Thank you very much for having me as your guide. I’m glad you have enjoyed my home town,Kyoto. It was a warm beautiful winter day and we could see the plum blossoms. Hope to see you again here or Zurich . Toshiyo

Great city tour!

We enjoyed our time with Ritsuko. She had a great itinerary and was resourceful and flexible when we asked for modifications and additions. She was especially helpful in offering advice for other days when we would be on our own, offering specific resources. We would highly recommend her to others.

Hi Leann and Kim, Thank you for your kind words! It was a true pleasure guiding you on your first full day in Tokyo. Even though it was a bit chilly on the day, I’m glad we were able to visit even more spots than originally planned. Since it was such a beautiful, warm day today, you must have a fantastic time hiking in Kamakura. I hope you continue to enjoy your upcoming hiking tours. All the best!

Wonderfull Day Tour of Snow Monkey and Obuse Town

We wanted to photograph the snow monkeys in snowy conditions and with help from Kei (and Mother Nature) - we had the perfect condition on the day we went. Kei provided suggestions with timing (getting there early and on a weekday), train schedules and also other places to visit while in the area. I appreciate that he responded to my many questions right away. He was very patient with us while we were photographing the snow monkeys for most of the morning and he very kindly photographed us throughout our day and shared the photos with us at the end of our trip. We went out for lunch and toured around the quaint town of Obuse before heading back to Tokyo. I also enjoyed the various facts Kei shared about the surrounding area and also fun to chat with him about life in Japan. I highly recommend Kei for your next adventure!

Dear Li, Thank you again for joining my tour and for your wonderful review. It really made my day. It was my first time guiding professional photographers, and I was so impressed by how patiently you followed your subjects and waited for the perfect moment. If you managed to capture some shots that you like, I’m really happy – and if you don’t mind, I would love to see a few of them! I also took some photos of the two of you while you were working. If you like those pictures, that would make me very happy. There are so many other great spots for snowy landscapes in this region, so I really hope we can explore some of them together on another trip in the future. Warmest regards, Kei

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.
