Japan Tour Reviews

We had a great experience with Melody

Our travel was delayed due to weather, so we missed 2 days we had scheduled with Melody. No problem, Melody made time for us for an evening tour which was great. Melody took great photos of us, was very knowledgeable and pleasant and has excellent English. I would definitely work with Melody if I came back to Tokyo and highly recommend to other travelers!

Kevin, thank you very much for the heartfelt review. I was really looking forward to the two unique days we had carefully planned together, so the flight delay due to the weather was very unfortunate. However, I am really happy that we were still able to meet, even if only for a short time. I was also impressed by your deep understanding of Japanese culture. Since you will be staying in Japan for a few more days, I will do my best to support you as much as possible. Enjoy your time here, and I hope to see you again! Arigato!

Wonderful insight into samurai and kamikaze culture, rounded out with beautiful scenery

Yaron was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. He was very cognizant of meeting our expressed interests by showing us some hidden treasures along the route and some great photography spots. We enjoyed our walk through Chiran among the former samurai houses and amazing gardens while learning some history. A quick stop at the museum for kamikaze gave us some insight into their sacrifice. Seeing tea fields from a high vantage point was lovely. Later we were able to eventually get a good view of the volcano from a couple of different spots. The sea horse farm was enchanting in such an out of the way spot with such panoramic views. Lunch was a lot of fun at a unique restaurant by a waterfall fishing noodles for our soup out of a spinning container filled with fresh spring water. All in all, a very pleasant day led by a wonderful guide who sincerely wanted to do his best for our tour. Highly recommend.

Dear Mary, Thank you so much for your warm and wonderful review. It really made my day... I also had a great time with you. Right from the start, I felt a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere, and that is something I really appreciate. I always get excited when I guide, and you made it to become even more fun (-: We were also lucky with the weather! The rain started only when we were on the way back to the ship — perfect timing. It was truly an amazing day. I wish you a great trip around Japan. And if you come back to Kagoshima, please remember that this area still has many beautiful and special places to explore. Warm regards,

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.
