Japan Tour Reviews

Well paced, enthusiastic, informative tour

We very much enjoyed our half day, heritage walking tour with Akira, on our first morning in Kyoto. He was timely, very well informed, entertaining and we covered a lot of ground in a well paced way. Akira's history lessons helped us understand the meaning of Buddhism, Shintoism, the Shogun era, and more, which helped us enjoy more deeply places we visited afterwards even without him! Well worth it.

Wonderful two-day personalized tour with Taka M.

Taka is an amazing guide. We had some very fluctuating weather and Taka kept an eye on it and made timing adjustments to our schedule so that we could see inside sights when there was a downpour and take full advantage of the sunny and drizzly parts to enjoy the outside sights. He brought my teenager and I everywhere on our list and added in so much more. We would not have been able to attempt such an ambitious schedule on our own. He was funny, kind and knowledgeable and provided plenty of information while also giving us time to spend on our own as we had requested. After two days with Taka, we even felt comfortable navigating Tokyo on our own. Definitely book with Taka M!

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review! This tour was a meaningful challenge for me as well. Rather than just explaining things, I wanted you to experience them and discover them for yourselves — and it truly became that kind of journey. I’m very happy to hear that both of you enjoyed it. Now that the typhoon has passed, I hope your travels continue to be full of fun and great memories!

Amazing tour guide!

Eric-san was absolutely fantastic. He’s very informative, accommodating and personable. He showed us so much of Kyoto in short period. He shared local eatery, temples, shrines, and history. Would recommend! 5/5

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.
