Japan Tour Reviews

An engaging tour of Kyoto

Yuta was great fun and informative. Even for our group of 7, with 5 teenagers (so he had a very high bar with a short attention span for most of the group). He was able to provide rich historical and cultural information, connecting with the group's diverse range of interests. Additionally, he works in media, so his pictures during the tour were amazing (by far the best of the whole trip). I would highly recommend him to anyone touring Kyoto or the surroundings.

Great tour, very enjoyable, with cultural insights too.

Thank you Bobby, very much for an excellent and very enjoyable morning tour of Hakodate. I absolutely loved it. You live in a beautiful city. And you have great knowledge, that you shared. And fun chatting with you and sharing the morning. Thanks also for sharing your thoughts on Japanese culture and latest trends etc., which I found really interesting and helpful. Your English is excellent. And you have clearly very well researched and prepared the topics/ locations that you are guiding. Finally, you were also able to help me with a number of practical tips and information, that really helped me plan my trip. And you were flexible in tailoring the tour to my requests, which we discussed in advance. Thank you very much. Andrew.

A great time with a great host!

Ryoko was very knowledgeable about the area and my favorite place of the trip was Toshogu Shrine. Those steps were steep! It was a lovely area and thankfully, the weather was quite nice. I wish I could remember the name but the soba restaurant we went to was fantastic and the bakery on the way to station was nice as well. I strongly recommend Ryoko as your guide. In addition to her knowledge, she is a very friendly person to talk to and the time just flew away. She is quite passionate about the area and I hope to one day fully explore Nikko!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour — that truly means a lot to me. Since it was your first time in Nikko, I showed you the main highlights. As a local guide, I’d love to take you to more amazing places next time, like Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, as well as other wonderful spots. We could also visit Utsunomiya, famous for its delicious gyoza, and the pottery town of Mashiko. There’s still so much to explore! I hope we can meet again someday. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

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.
