“Fast paced tour of a beautiful historic city”

Yoshi picked us up at the hotel and our tour started with a train ride to Kamakura at 8:30 am; early start means the streets were empty when we arrived and we did not experience crowds until the afternoon. Such a beautiful city with amazing temples and shrines worth visiting included the large Buddha. Lunch and shopping also. It was great with our private guide because we were able to move quickly and see a lot. Yoshi has been a guide for over five years so has wonderful knowledge of the country and sites to visit all over the Tokyo area

“The best! ”

Our evening with Stephen was fabulous! He took us to 3 very different jazz kissas. He has a deep knowledge of jazz and communicated well with us before our tour to find out what we were interested in. We were wide open but did not want the more experimental kind of music. Our curry dinner was fun and delicious . These were places we never would have found on our own . Highly recommend! Thank you Stephen for a great experience!

“Tokyo intro with Kaneo”

Kaneo is a wonderful guide for his country! He is a warm, caring person who loves to share information about its sights, culture, and food. We had a great experience diving into it all- from crowded trains to peaceful contemplative moments in beautiful tea houses!

Thank you for your good and kind review. Starting in a very crowded train and rain, I am glad to know you liked my guiding in such bad circumstances. I hope I can guide you in a better circumstance next time.

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.
