Japan Tour Reviews

Thorough great tour of Tokyo!

Our tour with Yoshi was the perfect way to spend our first day in Tokyo, and we highly recommend him. From the very beginning, his communication leading up to the day was clear and helpful, making the logistics and planning completely seamless. Yoshi was incredibly efficient and kept us moving at a great pace—we put in about 20,000 steps to make sure we hit all the landmarks and sites we wanted to see. At the same time, he was highly flexible with the itinerary, adjusting it on the fly to account for sites we had already visited on our own and allowing us time for shopping. Throughout the day, he managed all the logistics smoothly and taught us the proper customs to follow at the temples and shrines. He also took us to a great sushi lunch and was glad to answer all of our questions about Japanese culture and history. If you want an organized, knowledgeable, and proactive guide for a packed day in Tokyo, definitely book a tour with Yoshi - it is a packed and active day, which is exactly what we wanted!

Wonderful day with Jasmine

We had a fantastic experience on our tour with Jasmine and highly recommend her. Her communication ahead of time was great, and she was incredibly flexible, allowing us to extend our tour to include the Nishiki Food Market. We put in almost 20,000 steps making it to all the sites (and somehow she did all of this without even breaking a sweat!), which was exactly the great, efficient pace we wanted to see a lot. Jasmine guided us through a large variety of temples and landmarks around the Gion area, always knowing the best routes to maximize our time. At the same time, she was flexible enough to allow for shopping and snack breaks for the kids, who really enjoyed having her as our guide. At our request, Jasmine answered all of our questions about Japanese culture and customs, dispelling some myths and helping us be more culturally aware and sensitive. We also appreciated the history she shared at each stop and the great spots she suggested for family photos. If you want a knowledgeable, accommodating guide for the whole family, definitely book with Jasmine.

Half day tour with Shin

We had the pleasure of spending a half day in Tokyo with Shin as our tour guide, and he was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge of Tokyo’s history, culture, and local traditions made every stop interesting and meaningful. Shin was friendly, professional, and very accommodating to our group’s needs and pace. He shared many fascinating insights that we would have otherwise missed and helped us navigate the city efficiently, making the most of our limited time. His recommendations for local food, shopping, and sightseeing were excellent and greatly enhanced our experience. Thank you, Shin, for making our visit to Tokyo enjoyable, informative, and memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide in 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.
