Japan Tour Reviews

Begins with Kurosawa's Dreams. Ends with Wender's Perfect Days.

Takeshi san is a highly professional tour guide who offers valuable insights to anyone interested in learning about the Japanese way of life and its profound history. Despite having an engineering background all his life, he is able to speak fluently about creative pursuits and films from both Japanese and Western perspectives. One can immediately sense that Takeshi san truly loves Japan, while also providing objective and balanced answers. He is an honest, caring person whose principles embody the core values of harmony and order. Many people will naturally connect with his take on the world and enjoy a soothing, comfortable journey while traveling with him. Thank you again for hosting this great adventure, Takeshi san, and for sharing your perspectives on Buddhism, Shintoism, and the impermanence of all things and beauty. Warm regards, Cieas

Best day in Hiroshima

Kay was an amazing guide for our multi generational family. She helped us navigate a packed itinerary very smoothly which was so appreciated at the tail end of our trip to Japan and on a very hot day. She is full of knowledge and answered all of our questions all day long. Grandparents and teenagers agreed that she was a highlight of our trip and we are so grateful to have had her as a guide in Hiroshima and Miyajima.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review so quickly! It was a very hot and humid day today, but I was truly happy to meet such a wonderful family. We were also lucky that the tide at Miyajima was low enough for us to walk all the way out to the Great Torii Gate. If the weather had been cooler, I would have loved to show you even more places, but we’ll save those for your next visit. I hope to see you again in Hiroshima someday! Wishing you a safe travel back to Canada. Warmest regards, Kay

Perfect day with the best guide in Tokyo

My family of 4 had a wonderful tour of some of the highlights of Tokyo with Hiromi. She was very kind, efficient and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her for your walking tour of Tokyo.

Thank you very much for your very nice review. Even though it was a hot day, I really appreciate that you and your family enjoyed the tour with me all the way to the last stop. Since you and your daughter speak some Japanese, I'd like to say this in Japanese: Suteki na tabi o! Mata ne!

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.
