Wonderful guide! Great energy.

Yuta is an excellent guide and I highly recommend him. His English was very, very good. He is very knowledgeable and shares good stories, history, and tips. He is very flexible and will plan a day around what you want to do, plus make great suggestions. He is also fun. You won't go wrong with him! Stop looking and book Yuta.

A Passionate Local Expert!

We choose Mr. Fuji based on his bio and his video. He seemed passionate about his city (Kyoto) and his English was clear and understandable. From the first minute we met it was clear that he was everything we expected and much more. His customized itinerary was perfect for us, as well as completely flexible as we made changes throughout the day. At his suggestion, we had the opportunity to go to a very large local market that only happens once a month. It was amazing unplanned start to our tour. Mr. Fuji is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and off the places we visited. He's has a passion about his city that comes through as he highlights the are. His English is very good and easy to understand. Mr. Fuji had my highest recommendation.

Fuji S.

Thank you very much for having me as your guide for the Kyoto Highlights tour, “A Journey Through Timeless Beauty.” We explored three World Heritage sites—To-ji Temple, Nijo Castle, and Ryoan-ji Temple—as well as the iconic Fushimi Inari Shrine. At To-ji Temple, we were fortunate to enjoy the lively Kobo-ichi market, which added a wonderful local experience to the day. We also appreciated the contrasting styles of Japanese gardens at Nijo Castle and Ryoan-ji Temple, each offering its own unique beauty. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you and valued your thoughtful questions. Your interest in Kyoto’s history—especially the balance of power between the Emperor and the Shogun, along with Japanese gardens and architecture—made our time together especially meaningful.

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.
