Japan Tour Reviews

Excellent tour of Tokyo with Chiaki

We had a great tour with Chiaki! She did an excellent job communicating with us before our tour, in order to understand our interests and develop a personalized tour. She checked in with us several times before our trip, and even helped explain how/where to get Suica cards when we arrived. We booked our tour with Chiaki for our first full day in Tokyo, which was a great way to learn the public transportation and our way around the city. Chiaki met us where we were staying, and then brought us to the beautiful and peaceful Kiyosumi Japanese Gardens, and then to the Fukagawa Fudodo Temple to observe the fire ritual. We would not have been able to navigate the process of entering the fire ritual without Chiaki, nor understand what was happening during the ritual without Chiaki. Chiaki was prepared with sheets that explained what was happening as we observed each part of the ritual. It was an amazing experience! After the fire ritual, she brought us for ramen, which was excellent. After lunch, we explored a quiet, non-touristy part of Tokyo with old-town atmosphere, where we walked through a market, cemetery, and visited Nedu Jinja. Chiaki spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. We had a great tour with Chiaki and it was a great way to spend our first day in Tokyo!

Fun outing!

Had a great time. Leandra was fun and very knowlegable.

A delightful way to discover quiet in Kyoto

Our sound walk with Simon was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. We started our time in Kyoto with this gorgeous, peaceful walk around the temples of Chion-in and Shoren-in, which are beautiful and surprisingly quiet. Our multi-age group all enjoyed walking slowly, recording the sounds that we heard, and learning about the temples and city from Simon. We would highly recommend this experience. Simon is a wonderful guide, full of local knowledge and adept at helping you to slow down and notice all the many wonderful details that this area of Kyoto has to offer.

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.
