Wonderful Local Guide

Hiro was a wonderful guide. He is a local who knows his way around the area and speaks both Japanese and English. We did not select one of Hiro’s pre-packaged tours; rather, due to our time constraints and interests, Hiro provided a custom itinerary based on our schedule and places of interest. We mainly needed someone to serve as an intermediary for the places we wanted to see since we were unfamiliar with the area, do not speak Japanese, and had limited time. Hiro arrived on time and kept us informed of his location and arrival time. At each destination, Hiro was flexible in allowing us to take our time to explore but made sure we arrived at our next destination on time. When our selected lunch location was too busy, he recommended a local shop that served delicious ramen. Overall, Hiro was positive and friendly, knowledgeable about the areas we visited, thoughtful toward our interests and needs, easy to communicate with, and provided an affordable rate.

Thank you so much, Kyle san, for your wonderful review. Spending time with your family made me think, “This is what a truly happy family looks like.” I was especially impressed by everyone’s intellectual curiosity. At the Sannai-Maruyama Site, I was delighted to show you places that I do not usually include in my tours, and your family explored everything with genuine interest and enthusiasm. I was also amazed to see your grandfather, who is over 80 years old, jumping energetically as a Haneto dancer at the Nebuta Museum! Having such a healthy body and joyful spirit at his age is truly inspiring. Ending our time together with ramen and delicious coffee was also wonderful. I hope you were able to find and buy the watch you were looking for. I also hope that the two of you who went to see the Nebuta festival that evening had a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I had a wonderful time guiding your family. I hope your family’s future cruise adventures continue to bring you many joyful and unforgettable memories. When my partner and I visit the United States, I would love to get in touch with you! Hiro

All Things Shinjuku!

I had a great experience exploring Shinjuku with Dai! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the tour. He showed me many local spots and gave me a much better feel for the area than I would have gotten exploring on my own. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to explore Shinjuku!

Thank you for having me this time and it was so much fun for me too! We enjoyed socializing each other, exploring local places together! I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan with lovely people :)

Outstanding Tour and Tour Guide

We had a wonderful day viewing the sights around Toyko with our tour guide Keiko T. She made sure we were able to see Mt. Fuji since it was on our bucket list. We saw the 8 ponds at Oshino Hakkai, Arakura Fuji Shrine and Lake Kawaguchi... so beautiful!! Keiko made sure we were safe and went out of her way to accommodate us since we're a bit elderly. Her heart of gold made sure we were comfortable the whole day. Keiko is an outstanding Tour guide. I'd hire her again in a heart beat. Thanks Keiko for making our Japan trip outstanding.

Crystal, thank you so much for your kind review. I truly appreciate it. I believe we were meant to meet in Japan at this time. I genuinely enjoyed spending time with all of you. The only thing I wish is that you had been able to see the beautiful, perfectly cone-shaped Mt. Fuji with your own eyes. I hope you'll come back to Japan someday to see it, or even visit the 5th Station. Have a safe trip back home. I wish you and your family happiness, good health, and many blessings.

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.
