Japan Private Tours

“Fantastic!! We loved every minute”

From meeting us at the hotel Ritsuko was super friendly and welcoming. We headed straight into the tour and using the subway which was brilliant to get us used to how it worked on our first day in Tokyo. The tour had been edited as we wanted to see traditional Japan but also to see the Shibuya crossing. Ritsuko amended this for us and ensured the we were able to fit everything in as well as plenty of time for unplanned stops too! We cannot recommend highly enough Ritsuko was so easy to chat to and so knowledgeable too. It was such an informative tour with lovely conversation and finding out things that we would never have known if we had navigated the city ourselves, not just the history but lots about Japanese culture too. We had a fabulous day thank you!!

“Absolute cracker of a day with Yuji”

Fantastic day, Yuji is a really accommodating guide. We deliberately planned a local guide for our first full day in Tokyo knowing it was going to be a lot. Yuji helped us buy whatever we needed, understand and catch trains, took photos, all the while helping us understand the real Tokyo and explore numerous places we wanted to see. Engaged so well with all members of the family individually and as a group. An absolute pleasure to spend the day with you Yuji San. Can't rate him highly enough. Thank you.

“Walking Tour of Toyama and Takaoka”

My daughter and I had delightful time with Naoto. We planned on meeting at the Toyama train station at 9AM and we were both there 30 minutes early! We got to see the planned highlights of Toyama (Glass Museum, Toyama Castle) and we included detours to the park around the castle and the library. It was lucky, I didn't realize the there was Chihuly glass in the glass museum! In Takaoka, Naoto had made reservations for lunch at a restaurant that served shojin ryori, for us vegans. In Takaoka, we got to see the hits there, as well as some unique things, like kids getting out of school and the old street with the portable shrines. Our weather wasn't prefect, but we made the best of it. Naoto helped find us some nice photo spots. It was a fun day and we got to see many things that I wouldn't have included if I were planning it.

Thank you for the wonderful review! I am so glad you enjoyed the Toyama and Takaoka tour despite the weather. There was even more I wanted to show you, but since this tour covers two cities in a single day, I did my best to highlight the unique charm of each. I hope you can return someday to explore even more of these beautiful cities.
