Japan Tour Reviews

Dai is awesome.

Highly recommend. Great guy.

Kaori's Kamakura Tour Was Pure Magic — Don't Miss the Lantern Festival!

We booked an 8-hour private tour to Kamakura with Kaori and it was hands down one of the best days of our trip! She took us to see the Great Buddha, which was even more impressive in person, then on to Hasedera Temple for some gorgeous views. One of our favorite stops was Houkoku-ji Temple — sitting in the bamboo grove sipping matcha was such a peaceful, magical experience. We took our time exploring everything without ever feeling rushed, and Kaori's knowledge of the history and culture made every stop so much richer. The best part? We stayed out until after dark to catch the Enoshima Island Toro Lantern Festival, and it was absolutely stunning — definitely a highlight we wouldn't have known about without her. Such a perfect mix of history, culture, food, and a little bit of magic. Highly recommend Kaori and this tour if you're headed to Kamakura!

Thank you for writing a wonderful review on my Kamakura tour. Great to hear you enjoyed whole day in Kamakura, including Toro lantern festival in Enoshima island. Kamakura itself has a lot to appreciate in great nature near the ocean. Full of samurai history and Zen culture. Enoshima’s seasonal lit-up event is one of my favorites. I appreciate you gave me the opportunity to share this wonderful experience together. As evening falls, every site of island has become impressive with calm lantern light. Thank you for choosing me your guide for two days. Hope to see you again in the future. Big hugs, Kaori

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.
