Japan Tour Reviews

Best guided tour we have ever done!

Everything about our tour with Bobby was amazing - from initial contact right up to saying goodbye! Bobby was able to customise an itinerary to fit in with our ship's time in port and to suit our specific requests. She is really approachable and really listened to our needs and designed a truly bespoke tour. Bobby is such a lovely lady who really loves her town of Hakodate and is keen to show all it has to offer. Way more than we could ever see on our own. We took some taxis so that we could see more and beat some of the Golden Week crowds. Bobby had already bought all tickets we needed which meant much less queueing. Always a win! Catching the cherry blossoms and seeing them from such great vantage points was a highlight. We also learnt so much about the history of the town, Japanese culture/customs and so much more. Bobby put so much time and effort into our itinerary, especially in finding places for lunch and afternoon tea that could provide gluten free alternatives - something that can be a bit tricky. We had fabulous meals! Bobby took some amazing and creative photos of us that make us smile every time we look at them. Ask her about the heart fence if you get a chance to take a tour with her. I can't speak highly enough of Bobby. She is such a personable, happy and friendly lady who made our day in Hakodate a highlight of our visit to Japan. By the end of the tour it felt like saying goodbye to a friend and we hope to explore more with her when next we visit Japan. Thank you Bobby for all that you did to make our day such a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Terrific tour of Tokyo

Our guide Hiromi listened to our request and delivered an excellent tour, she took us to all the important shrines and gardens at a pace that worked for us and was very helpful for guiding us on the train routes to take when we were on our own. She’s very pleasant and I highly recommend Hiromi to anybody wanting to know a little bit more about Tokyo than just what you read in the guidebook.

Donton Sake pairing with Hawk

We really enjoyed the Sake pairing with Hawk! He’s awesome and it was liking hanging with an old friend. This was definitely one of the highlights of our day in Osaka! We will definitely come back to see him next time we’re in dontonbori area! Thanks for teaching us so much and sharing some laughs! See you next time! Tom and Chelsea from Denver

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.
