The Perfect Guide To Help Me Get Started

I booked a full day with Akira on my first day in Tokyo. I had never been to Japan, and being a solo traveler I didn't want to have to try and figure it all out, especially jet-lagged. I basically asked Akira to be my friend for the day, show me how to get around, and show me places where the tourists don't go. He delivered 110%! I have spent the last two weeks zipping around this amazing city, using the rail system with ease, and seeing all kinds of places where tourists are rare. I have connected with so many people here and have so many stories to bring home and fond memories. I might have eventually figured things out without Akira's help, but I'm sure that I would have wasted a lot of the limited time I had. Thank you Akira! If you are thinking about using him, don't hesitate, you will be glad you did it, just like me! Akira, again, thank you for helping make this such a memorable trip!

Dear Lonnie, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad that the day we spent together made a good kick start for your very first Japan trip. Reading your review, I sensed that the trip was very enjoyable and memorable and it was my pleasure to be a part of it. Amid the ongoing craze of over tourism, it was my joy to be your guide, especially for someone as generous, kind, and respectful of the locals and their culture as you. I want you to know that your friend in Tokyo will always be ready to show you around his loving city, and country, for your next opportunity (maybe with your loving wife). Thank you so much again for having me as your guide this time. See you next time! Sincerely, Akira

Knowledgeable and charismatic

Nishi was very charismatic, calm and knowledgeable about Himeji’s castle history and its surroundings. Had some good information and lots of pictures and videos to give us a better understanding of everything. Would highly recommend

I appreciate your warm review. It's so nice to hear you really enjoyed my castle tour. Crosscultural conversation with you was very intersting. I look forward to your next visit. Thank you again!

Yanagawa river cruise with twin 3 year olds

Hi we had a group of 8 people which was five adults and three children. Kazue was on time we took the train to do the river cruise and trying to navigate with two strollers was challenging but we were allowed to pack the strollers on the boat. There's two cruises one from the train station to the town and another for the town. We had an eel lunch and learned about strawberries from the nearby stand. It was a great trip and she gave us advice on how to get around the mall that we lived nearby.

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.
