“A Wonderful Guide with Incredible Knowledge!”

We had such a lovely day with Noboru-san exploring Himeji Castle and Korakuen Gardens! He was incredibly kind, patient and considerate, always making sure we were comfortable with the pace of the tour. What really stood out was his amazing knowledge of Himeji Castle. He shared so many fascinating details and insights that we would never have noticed or appreciated on our own. It made our visit so much more meaningful and enjoyable. Noboru-san is also such a sweet and thoughtful person, and it was a real pleasure spending the day with him. We would wholeheartedly recommend him!

“A Wonderful, Thoughtful and Accommodating Guide!”

We had such a lovely day exploring Osaka with Kitazawa-san! His Mandarin was excellent, but what we appreciated most was how kind, patient and accommodating he was with my folks and aunts who are in their 70s. We are slow walkers, yet he never once made us feel rushed and happily adjusted the itinerary to suit our interests. We explored Osaka Castle, visited the museum, enjoyed the Gozabune boat ride, and then headed to Namba for a delicious local lunch away from the tourist traps. He even took us to Takashimaya’s food hall to pick up some wonderful fruit and treats! As we had a tight itinerary, he made sure we got back on time so we could depart for our next destination. He also very kindly helped me make a restaurant reservation in our next city 2 weeks before our trip, which was truly above and beyond! We really appreciated his warmth, thoughtfulness and flexibility. Highly recommended, especially for families!

“Highly recommend Kaneo!”

Kaneo took my family around many interesting places within Tokyo, and he was very knowledgeable about the details and background of each fascinating, picturesque, and charming destination. What really stood out for us was how accommodating he was...he had set places to show us, but was more than happy to change based on our interests. In addition, I am claustrophobic; thus, don't like crowded subways. Kaneo understood and would always ask how I felt when we were on a subway; he was so kind and considerate to our needs. Kaneo really made our first time experience in Tokyo very special!

Thank you for your good review. I was wondering if I forced you into uncomfortable situations. Anyway I am very happy to know you enjoyed my guiding. I hope I can see you again near Tokyo.

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.
