Takayama Private Tours

“Friendly and excellent guide for Takayama!”

Bonnie was excellent during this trip to Shirakawago, sharing with us interesting stories of the places, and showing us some good vantage and photo spots. She was very friendly, bubbly and communicated well. As a local of Takayama, she also had some excellent recommendations! Thank you Bonnie!

“A wonderful local perspective of Takayama!”

We had a fantastic 2.5-hour tour with Mao, and she was truly wonderful. Even for a shorter tour, she took the time to carefully plan an itinerary that was perfectly adapted to all of our interests and specific requests. Mao shared great historical facts, but what we loved most was seeing the city through the eyes of someone born and raised there. It gave us a unique, authentic connection to Takayama that we wouldn't have found otherwise. We really enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend Mao for a personal and insightful tour!

“Personalized Takayama Tour”

This was my husband and my 2nd time in Takayama and first time with our kids. Yoko made our time extra special by showing us historical, cultural and local sites tailored to our interests and the kids’ attention! We all had a great day filled with food, culture, education and souvenirs. Having Yoko with us allowed us to see and experience more than we could have on our own. Yoko was friendly, flexible, thoughtful, and patient. Everything you’d ask for in a guide. I highly recommend Yoko!
