Japan Tour Reviews

One of the best days of our Japan trip

We had been to Nagasaki on a cruise 2 years ago and had seen the A-bomb sites, taken the Mt. Inasa ropeway to the Observatory and visited Glover Garden. So this time we wanted to see local life in Nagasaki and Sho was the abolutely perfect guide for that. Sho met us at the cruise terminal and we hopped in a taxi to go up into the hills to the Suwa Shrine. First we walked through the neighborhood where Sho lives, even stopping by his house, as he told us about life there. At the shrine, we happened upon a special performance of music and dance. This was apparently sponsored by another cruise ship that was also in Port as an excursion for their guests, but Sho had known about it so we got this nice surprise treat! We also met one of his friends who is a geisha, dressed beautifully for this event. We enjoyed the walk in this area, edpecially as Sho planned it so we were going downhill. Most of the places we went were not filled with tourists and crowds so we got to experience more of local life. Kofukuji temple was beautiful and we had a relaxing stop for matcha in peaceful surroundings. The observation deck at City hall provided great views with only a handful of other visitors - a few toddlers from the local nursery school. Sho took us to a place for delicious ramen, strolled us through local shopping streets and Chinatown, helped me find some high quality sencha green tea, and engaged us is interesting conversation throughout the day. As my husband said, this day we got to see the real Japan. And in the company of a fun, friendly, delightful young man.

Private Tokyo Tour - just perfect

We had a wonderful private tour. Our guide showed us the spots we wanted to see and also added some local spots of his own. He even took us to a local restaurant for lunch. We had a wonderful day with Noboyuki.

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.
