Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.

Japan Tour Reviews
Carina E.
“Arashiyama abseits der Touristenmassen ”
Nach unserer ersten tollen Tour durch Kyoto war auch unser zweiter Tag mit Robert in Arashiyama ein echtes Highlight unserer Japanreise. Wir sind morgens gestartet und schon die Fahrt nach Arashiyama in einer der letzten alten Straßenbahnen war ein besonderes Erlebnis. Robert hat den ganzen Tag wunderbar entspannt gestaltet und ist immer auf unsere Wünsche und unser Tempo eingegangen. Es gab keinen Zeitdruck und wir konnten die einzelnen Orte ganz in Ruhe genießen. Während unserer Tour haben wir immer wieder kleine Abstecher zu verschiedenen Aussichtsplattformen gemacht und konnten von dort fantastische Blicke auf die Berge, den Fluss und die beeindruckende Landschaft rund um Arashiyama genießen. Ein weiteres Highlight war unsere Pause in einem kleinen, etwas versteckten Teehaus, bevor es weiter zum Bambuswald ging. Ein ganz besonderer und ruhiger Ort, den wir alleine vermutlich nie entdeckt hätten. Gegen Ende der Tour gab es noch einen traumhaften Moosgarten, umgeben von unglaublich viel Bambus. Dort waren praktisch keine anderen Menschen und wir konnten die besondere Atmosphäre ganz in Ruhe genießen. Gerade in Arashiyama, wo viele der bekannten Orte sehr voll sein können, war das etwas ganz Besonderes. Dazu kamen den ganzen Tag über viele interessante Insiderinformationen, kleine Geheimtipps und besondere Stopps. Man merkt einfach, dass Robert die Gegend sehr gut kennt und einem auch Orte zeigt, die man auf eigene Faust wahrscheinlich übersehen würde. Wir würden diese Tour mit Robert uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Wer Arashiyama entspannt, persönlich und auch abseits der typischen Touristenmassen erleben möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Vielen Dank für diesen großartigen Tag – wir würden jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Robert buchen!

Es war fuer mich eine absolute Herzensangelegenheit Ihnen das bezaubernde Kyoto zu zeigen. Ich freue mich schon sehr wieder auf das naechste Mal mit euch eine wunderbare Zeit zu verbringen!

“Absolute Empfehlung – ein perfekter Tag in Kyoto”
Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Zeit mit Robert und können diese Tour uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Von Anfang an war er unglaublich bemüht, auf unsere Wünsche und Vorstellungen einzugehen und die Tour so zu gestalten, dass sie perfekt zu uns passt. Besonders schön fanden wir, wie toll Robert auch unsere 10-jährige Tochter eingebunden hat. Dadurch war die Tour für uns alle interessant und kurzweilig. Die gesamte Atmosphäre war wunderbar entspannt (trotz sehr heißem Wetter) – kein Stress, kein Hetzen von einer Sehenswürdigkeit zur nächsten und auch kein „hartes“ Ende nach einer bestimmten Uhrzeit. Stattdessen hatten wir das Gefühl, Kyoto ganz individuell und authentisch kennenzulernen. Robert hat uns viele spannende Insiderinformationen gegeben, uns besondere Ecken gezeigt und zwischendurch richtig coole Food-Spots empfohlen, die wir alleine wahrscheinlich nie entdeckt hätten. Für uns war es genau die richtige Mischung aus Kultur, Essen, interessanten Geschichten und entspanntem Erkunden. Wir haben uns die ganze Zeit sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Robert buchen. Vielen Dank, Robert, für diesen besonderen Tag in Kyoto! Klare Empfehlung!

“Hidden Gem Master - 11/10 will tour again”
Dai was an absolute pleasure to be around. Between his knowledge of the area, his knowledge of hidden gems and shops, willingness to adapt and adjust things as interests came up, I couldn't recommend a better guide. If you ever want an 11/10 experience, look no further!! And he was always down for whatever food or snack places, as well as many recommendations for anything and everything.

Thank you so much for such an amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with you as well. I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring both the popular spots and some hidden gems, and that we could adapt the day around your interests along the way. I also had a great time trying different food and snack places with you! Thank you again for choosing me, and I truly appreciate the 11/10 recommendation! Hope to see you again someday!

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?

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.
