Japan Tour Reviews

Wonderful time in Hakone

Yuki was an excellent tour guide! He communicated right up until he met us in our hotel lobby. He kept us on-time and was well informed of all of the sites and locations that we visited. He was very patient with our 4 year old daughter and spoke excellent English. I highly recommend booking with Yuki!

Great Evening Tour of Shinjuku and Shibuya

Spending four hours exploring Shinjuku and Shibuya at night with Aissam was a great experience! Seeing these neighborhoods after dark was incredible, as both areas have a totally different energy and vibe than they do during the day. I really appreciated how Aissam was able to accommodate my vegan diet, which I know is not always easy to navigate in certain neighborhoods. He showed me some great local highlights, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation throughout the evening covering everything from food and travel to languages and more. Thank you for the tour, Aissam, and I wish you all the best!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the evening with you and exploring Shinjuku and Shibuya together. I really enjoyed our conversations as well — it’s always special when a tour feels less like work and more like exploring Tokyo with a friend. I’m also very happy we could find some great vegan options along the way! Thank you again for choosing my tour and for your kind words. I wish you many more amazing travels and hope to welcome you back to Japan someday! All the best, Aissam

Fantastic First Day in Tokyo with Yumi!

Booking Yumi for the morning of my first full day in Tokyo was the best decision I could have made! She gave me a wonderful introduction to the Shinjuku area, showing me key highlights and helping me get comfortable with navigating the city—including helping me set up my Suica transportation card. As someone who doesn't have the best sense of direction, I truly appreciated her guidance and navigation skills. Yumi’s communication leading up to the tour was fantastic, and she arrived right on time. Knowing my dietary restrictions in advance, she even thoughtfully brought along information on local restaurants that could accommodate me. To top it off, she was kind enough to make sure I easily found the restaurant where I had a lunch reservation after our tour wrapped up. She was so fun to talk with and a complete joy to spend the morning with. I recommend Yumi without hesitation to anyone visiting Tokyo! Thank you for everything, Yumi!

Dear Mr. Tony Thank you so much for the incredibly generous review. It’s a huge encouragement for my future work. It was a shame that we had to limit the places we visited since we started so early in the morning, but you are so knowledgeable and gentlemanly that I learned a lot during the tour and had a very meaningful experience. I’m truly grateful. How did you enjoy the matcha experience in a kimono? I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in Tokyo and made many wonderful memories. Please do come back to visit us in the spring or fall. Thank you so much. Best regards Yumi

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.
