Japan Tour Reviews

The Best Guide in Toyko!!

We had an amazing time on the Tokyo Highlights tour with Shu. From the moment we met, it felt more like hanging out with a friend than being on a formal tour. Shu is incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo, its culture, and hidden spots, and he explained everything in a really engaging, easy-to-understand way. The street food was absolutely amazing — some of the best food we had in Tokyo — and Shu knew exactly where to take us. We laughed a lot, learned a ton, and saw parts of the city we never would have found on our own. If you want a fun, authentic Tokyo experience with a guide who genuinely loves what he does, Shu is the one to book. Highly recommended. Bobby

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a real pleasure meeting you and your family and spending time together in Tokyo. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan is filled with many wonderful memories. If you ever visit Tokyo again, I would be delighted to show you around. I hope we have the chance to meet again someday. Arigatou Gozaimasu!!!

Deep Dive to Okinawa: WWII Battle of Okinawa Tour + The Blue Zone Tour

Harry is certainly one of the best guides you could hope for. Safe driver, punctual, always smiling, and absolutely knows his stuff. Not one question was unanswered. My tour was for 3 days (2 days WW11 Battles and 1 day Blue Zone and hiking). I experienced much more than I expected, nothing was rushed, and Harry knows the best and tastiest places to eat. My food highlight was in the Blue Zone... yesss very nice. Harry excels in his knowledge of WW11, plus his 2 days planning for this was spot on. I got to see and feel everything I knew of the battles and their locations... plus much more. I still think a lot about this. Oh yes, thanks to Harry's wife who gave me a nicely packaged of sweet treats (all eaten when I got home). Harry, thanks for looking after me, for giving me an experience I wanted for a decade or more, and making me feel so welcome in Okinawa. For all you travelers, if you are looking for a high quality guide make sure you give my new friend Harry a go. Can't go wrong with him. Maybe I see you again Harry for a Mt Fuji trek one day???

Magnificent experience

The knowledge that Hugh has acquired over all the years in Japan and in this city, in my opinion, surpasses even that of the local guides. He explains all the facts of the places in such a good and fresh way that we Westerners can understand the transition to this wonderful culture without problems. There are no more open questions at the end of the tour, and we were overjoyed with his local suggestions, for example, for food. Hugh rocks. And I tell you this as a tour guide myself, doing tours for over 20 years in Europe. Bravo and thank you Hugh

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.
