Oita Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Didn't know there is so much to see in Usuki”

We were so glad we hired Kei to be our tour. He was very thoughtful from the very beginning. There was a closure on the highway and he was willing to provide the flexibility to suggest an earlier departure. He was very thoughtful to go with an easier path knowing my dad has a bad knee. Usuki is very different from other popular tourist attractions. We did not feel this place was heavily commercialized, so we could submerge ourselves in its history and the locals' daily lives. Kei introduced us to Usuki more like a friend who is passionate about his home prefecture. He could tell you a lot about Oita. Kei did not end his work day by simply dropping us off at the hotel; he even made great suggestions for what we could do in the afternoon on our own and shared some dinner recommendations with us. Thank you, Kei.

“Fun day packed with activities”

We had a great 6h tour with Kei in Beppu. He met us at our hotel with his van for a driving tour. We started with a great lunch at a local spot by the traditional bath salt production area and saw 3 of the most beautiful hot spring hells. He also accommodated a visit to the monkey park even though that wasn't in our original agenda. Then we finished with a stop at an amazing observation tower that overlooked all of Beppu. Kei's English was very good and easy to understand as Americans. We had opportunities for souvenir shopping as well. I thought the value was great especially to include him driving the four of us around.

Hi Roxanne ('Rokusanu')-san and friends! I was thrilled to record the most number of visits within 6 hours, and we actually made it! Thank you for being so nice and thoughtful every moment we had. It's an absolutely fun moment with your party friends. Have a wonderful holiday in Japan.

“4 days of Magic with Keita-San”

My boyfriend and I chose a 4-day itinerary with Keita and it was perfect. Keita was always extremely responsive, conscientious, and professional. He took seriously our requests for a bike tour, cultural experiences, a hike, and to see all of the best beautiful and hidden spots of Oita, and came back with an itinerary that blew us away. We informed Keita that we were foodies, and he found the best blowfish restaurant in Oita, as well as showed us to the best Shiitake mushroom farm which was fascinating. We are super well-traveled globally, and it was our 5th time in Japan. We still found the experiences provided by Keita to be unique and special. Keita is friendly and a lot of fun to spend time with. I was also super impressed with the sushi experience we had, a favorite of his and his family's. It was delicious! It was particularly special to visit his home town, and to know that he is an expert in the region of our tour. We will fondly remember these outstanding experiences forever.

Hi Daniella-san, thank you for choosing me for your one-week trip in Oita! Thank you for being thoughtful for my proposals and the feedback given in timely manner. I've just started missing you buddies after you left Oita. Anyway, I'm longing to meet you in near future here in Kyushu. Have a great trip!
