A fabulous day with Guide - Yaron

We had the most wonderful day with Yaron and his driver meandering south through rich volcanic soils with many farms growing an assortment of vegetables and tea. Yaron was very patient answering our many questions about local farming and industry. We learned a lot about Japanese history both very old and the more recent times. The Chiran Gardens with ancient Samuari houses and gardens were such a privilege to visit, so much history with original houses over 300 years old. Truly the most beautiful park and Cherry Blossoms was experienced at the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots where we were told of their tragic missions during WWII. Our lunch restaurant was an amazing venue and will never be forgotten: eating traditional food in a traditional way never experienced before. There was so much more during the tour with photo stops and local knowledge imparted which we so enjoyed. A huge thank you Yaron and 100% for being such a great guide. Susie, Rob, Jilly and Hugh.

Tea ceremony experience

Amazing experience thanks to both tea ceremonies masters! Thank you Hiromi san

History, Serenity, and Beauty

We were impressed with Hiroyuki T. almost immediately when we met at our hotel and planned our itinerary with him on the spot. There had been some issues with the tour description on the GoWithGuide website and we neglected to coordinate with him before our arrival. He handled the last-minute schedule efficiently and came up with an organized plan. We were able to visit several temples and gardens we had not seen on previous visits; enjoy a Japanese/Western lunch; and learn many details about Japanese Buddhism we’d never learned before. Hiro even gave us meditation instructions in a beautiful, serene Zen garden. Thank you, Hiro.

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.
