Japan Tour Reviews

Absolute cracker of a day with Yuji

Fantastic day, Yuji is a really accommodating guide. We deliberately planned a local guide for our first full day in Tokyo knowing it was going to be a lot. Yuji helped us buy whatever we needed, understand and catch trains, took photos, all the while helping us understand the real Tokyo and explore numerous places we wanted to see. Engaged so well with all members of the family individually and as a group. An absolute pleasure to spend the day with you Yuji San. Can't rate him highly enough. Thank you.

Walking Tour of Toyama and Takaoka

My daughter and I had delightful time with Naoto. We planned on meeting at the Toyama train station at 9AM and we were both there 30 minutes early! We got to see the planned highlights of Toyama (Glass Museum, Toyama Castle) and we included detours to the park around the castle and the library. It was lucky, I didn't realize the there was Chihuly glass in the glass museum! In Takaoka, Naoto had made reservations for lunch at a restaurant that served shojin ryori, for us vegans. In Takaoka, we got to see the hits there, as well as some unique things, like kids getting out of school and the old street with the portable shrines. Our weather wasn't prefect, but we made the best of it. Naoto helped find us some nice photo spots. It was a fun day and we got to see many things that I wouldn't have included if I were planning it.

Thank you for the wonderful review! I am so glad you enjoyed the Toyama and Takaoka tour despite the weather. There was even more I wanted to show you, but since this tour covers two cities in a single day, I did my best to highlight the unique charm of each. I hope you can return someday to explore even more of these beautiful cities.

The Best of the Best

I entrusted my parents to Michael and he delivered an excellent, and safe, experience for them. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive; my parents’ experience in Tokyo was one to remember thanks to Michael. Muchas gracias, te deseamos lo mejor en el 2026.

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.
