Japan Private Tours

“The Experience with Satoshi San is recommended to Everyone 本次的出游体验值得推荐给所有人”

Rather than rushing through tourist attractions, I personally believe that the most important thing about traveling is to connecting with the local people and culture, so we booked this experience. Before the trip, I had higher expectations for the professionalism, meticulousness, and reliability of the Japanese people, but Mr. Kitazawa's performance exceeded my expectations. Mr. Kitazawa majored in Chinese at university and is a licensed tour guide officially registered in Japan. His overall language competency, itinerary planning, understanding of social realities, introduction of attractions, and arrangement of meals are all impeccable. The competency to maintain interest in a 9-year-old is truly astonishing, leaving even the parents feeling inadequate. Unlike the previous day at Universal Studios (where they even bought a U-Pass), the child, under Grandpa Kitazawa's guidance, didn't utter a single complaint for the entire 8 hours. When choosing a lunch restaurant in Shinsekai, Mr. Kitazawa was very concerned about the 300 JPY pre-meal snack fee charged by the restaurant and tried to lead us to a restaurant that did not charge this fee. This small detail shows his professionalism and character. I look forward to my next two-day trip to Kyoto with Mr. Kitazawa and will recommend him to all tourists visiting Japan. 相较于走马观花的刷景点，个人认为出游更重要的是与当地的人与文化产生联系，所以我们预约了本次的体验。 出行之前对于日本人民的职业、细致、靠谱有着较高的预期，但是北泽先生的表现还是超过了我的预期。 北泽先生大学本科的专业是汉语而且是日本官方注册的持证导游。 无论是整体的语言能力、对于行程的计划、对于社会事实的洞悉、景点介绍、餐食的安排都堪称完美。 对于9岁小朋友的兴趣调动维持能力，更是让人惊叹，使得亲爸亲妈自愧不如， 与前一日在环球影城不同（even 买了优速通），小朋友在北泽爷爷的带领下，全天8小时都没有唧唧歪歪。 在新世界选择午餐餐馆时，北泽先生对于商家收取的300JPY餐前小吃费非常介怀并尝试带领我们找到不收取此费用的商家，见微知著， 可见其职业素养与人品。 期待着下次与北泽先生的京都的2日行程,并将北泽桑推荐给所有的赴日游客.

“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???
