Tokyo Private Tours

“Excellent tour of Temples, Shrines and Beautiful Kamakura!”

Yoshi was a wonderful tour guide for us to take in four temples and one shrine, and we even had time to shop along one of Kamakura's main shopping streets and enjoy a fabulous ramen and tempura lunch at a local eatery that Kamakura residents enjoy. His English is excellent and his historical knowledge is vast. He met us at our Yokohama hotel, helped us purchase train tickets, explained the background of each stop and answered all our questions. When I first contacted Yoshi (pre-booking), I asked him if he could include Engaku-ji Temple to his advertised Kamakura tour. Although it was a different train stop, he was happy to accommodate and was even so kind as to identify my grandmother's grave site at Engaku-ji Temple for us. He also took us to a local literary museum that had an exhibit of special interest to us. We are so happy to have had Yoshi's service for a full day, as we would never have been able to take in so much in one day! We highly recommend him and hope on our 2026 Japan visit that we are able to use his services again.

“Wonderful Tour of Tokyo”

We had a fantastic time spending the day in Tokyo with Keiko. It was a great tour for first time visitors like ourselves, with lots of nice stops and at a good pace. I traveled with my parents and would not have been able to see as much in a day on our own. Keiko met us in our hotel and we traveled to the Shinto temple Meiji Jingu. It was a wonderful place and we even saw several couples getting married in traditional dress. A highlight of the day for all of us, and a nice historical site in nature that is very worth visiting. We then went to Harajuku and Shiboya, and stopped for ramen for lunch. The afternoon was up to us and we picked the scenic overlook in the municipal building, 3D Cat, and the Godzilla street. We loved it all! We then ended our day in Odaiba which was a nice coastal area with shopping and waterfront cafes. It was a great day and so well thought out. Keiko was so informative and helpful as a guide, and she accompanied us back to our hotel at the end of the tour. It was really delightful to get to know her and talk about life in Japan, and learn about Tokyo through her. Our family spent two days with her touring and I would highly recommend booking Keiko as a guide! She is a lovely person and such an organized guide. We are glad that we worked with her and plan to book with her again on a return trip— we loved Tokyo and our time with her.

“Our day with Grant touring Tokyo was perfect!”

Our family had an amazing experience with Grant as our private tour guide in Tokyo. He was incredibly personable and extremely knowledgeable, sharing detailed historical facts and guiding us through Tokyo’s amazing food scene. One of the most helpful parts of the tour was how he taught us to navigate the subway system confidently on our own — a skill that made the rest of our trip so much easier. He made the entire experience memorable and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!
