Tour guide Dai

I booked this experience mainly for my teenage sons. We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Dai on our first trip to Japan. Despite the rainy weather, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day. His positive attitude and dedication made all the difference. My teenage boys had a fantastic time, which says a lot! The gaming session he did with my boys—they absolutely loved it! He got along with them so naturally, and it was wonderful to see how engaged and excited they were throughout the tour. Everything ran so smoothly, and he was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. Dai also went above and beyond by recommending other great places for us to visit and even helped us navigate Tokyo's transport system. He stayed with us until we were departed back to our hotel, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you for making our first Tokyo trip experience memorable.

Kobe Done Right—Thoughtful Planning and Genuine Care

"Shawn gave me an amazing day in Kobe. He planned everything perfectly —from the walk around Arima and my visit to the onsen to wandering around the herb gardens and eating Japanese curry at CoCo. We went to extra places along the way outside of what was listed in the trip too. What really stood out was how much local knowledge he shared about Kobe and living in Japan and how genuinely he cared about giving me an authentic experience. He was easy to talk to the entire time and was always looking out for me. Highly recommended!"

Making the Most of a Short Time

Grant was tremendously helpful and a joy to tour with. I highly recommend working with Grant and would hire him again. My companion and I had 8 hours to see, eat, and buy as much as we could; we hired Grant to translate for us and to help us efficiently navigate the city. He speaks excellent Japanese, knew the best places to eat and shop, and even has an excellent knowledge of Japanese whisky!

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.
