5 Star Ōsaka Highlights

This was my family’s first time in Osaka and having Hiro plan a personalized day in the city allowed us to see and experience more than we could have on our own. We navigated the trains and subways easily and enjoyed so much more than just seeing sights as they were given so much more meaning with Hiro’s guidance and knowledge. Hiro was informative, flexible, thoughtful, and patient. Everything you’d ask for in a guide. I highly recommend Hiro.

Highlights of Tokyo with a great local guide

We had a great guided tour of Tokyo arranged by Toshi. Everything went smoothly, from the initial arrangement, to meeting us in our hotel. Toshi even made a lunch reservation for us and picked a great authentic place for it! We were able to see all major sights in a day, also Toshi takes the best pictures and he offered to take pictures of us at every site we visited. Also, as a final touch, Toshi suggested a great music bar for us to visit in the evening and also reserved it for us. We had a great guided tour of Tokyo arranged by Toshi.

perfect day

I had an absolutely amazing day with my tour guide, Melody, in Tokyo. He took me to the famous fish market where we had incredible sushi, followed by some of the best, most authentic ramen I’ve ever had. He also showed me a maid café and many other unique spots around the city that I never would have found on my own. What really made the experience special was how Melody treated me like family. From start to finish, I enjoyed every single minute of the day—nothing felt rushed, and everything felt personal and thoughtful. You truly can’t beat that kind of hospitality. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a tour guide in Tokyo. If you want an authentic, memorable experience with someone who genuinely cares about your time, he’s the one.

Rayan, thank you so much again for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review! I’m truly happy to hear that we had such an amazing time in Tokyo and that you enjoyed the fish market sushi, authentic ramen, and unique spots like the maid cafe. It means a lot to me that you felt comfortable and welcomed, and that the tour felt personal and relaxing—this is exactly what I aim to provide. Spending the days together and sharing Tokyo with you was a real pleasure, and your words about being treated like family genuinely touched me. Yes, we are family! Thank you again for choosing me as your guide despite your very busy schedule. I truly appreciate it. I hope to see you again someday, either in Tokyo or elsewhere in Japan!

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.
