Japan Tour Reviews

Amazing tour!

Setting up the fully customisable tour was super easy and convenient, Melody’s English is great! Melody organised an amazing tour/experience along side a few things I wanted to see. Also learned a lot about daily life in Tokyo and local customs. Would definitely recommend!

An Amazing day in Japan

My wife and I have traveled to Japan before for business and pleasure. In the past, we were invited and entertained by the company I work for. This was the first time we made our own tour arrangements. I was skeptical about what our tour guide, Kent-san, had to say. Too often, you hear horror stories and claims that the whole experience was a total rip-off. To my surprise, Kent-san and the tour he led were outstanding. From the beginning to the end, he was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and most importantly, flexible. From the beginning, we told him that we wanted a historical and cultural experience. We were not interested in doing any shopping. Kent-san adjusted his standard itinerary to focus on Japan's cultural and historical sites, providing us with a richer understanding of the country. He was able to give us a more interesting tour and additional time for picture-taking (my wife is a shutterbug) at each site. Throughout the day we spent with Kent-san, his humble and patient demeanor made it feel like we were out with an old friend and not just a tour guide. I would highly recommend Kent-san to anyone looking for a notch-perfect personalized tour.

A fuller picture and understanding of Hiroshima as a city than you would get on your own

Our group of four women visited the Peace Museum on our own and met Miyu-san afterward. The Peace Museum is a powerful place and walking through it is a very personal experience. The afternoon with Miyu-san afterward provided us with a fuller picture of Hiroshima residents before the war and after the bombing. After a leisurely but emotionally moving walk through the Peace Park, we walked through side streets, read plaques and learned their significance. We made a short trip to Hiroshima Castle but instead of touring interior opted to visit Mitaki-dera, a tranquil Buddhist Temple with three waterfalls. A perfect soul-filling experience to round out our day in Hiroshima. Miyu-san planned an excellent experience.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I truly admire the care and sincerity with which you visited the Peace Memorial Museum and engaged with Hiroshima’s history. I’m happy you enjoyed the peaceful walk at Mitaki-dera. It was a joy for me to spend two days with four wonderful women. I hope you made it home safely, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan and Hiroshima again someday.

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.
