Dream Tour

Yuriko is a miracle worker in more ways than I could ever imagine. She created a custom tour of 3 towns in the one day we had left in the area. It was so well organized and she kept us on track of a jam-packed itinerary to ensure we saw all the places on our wish list. It was heavenly breathing in the fresh mountain air while walking in the rain through Shirakawago and touring the inside of these steeply-pitched roofed houses. Yuriko introduced us to the most delicious beef sushi that I can’t stop thinking about in Takayama. She thoughtfully found points of interest depicted in anime movies for the anime fan in our family. Yuriko turned our dreams into reality on this tour. We spent two back-to-back days touring with her and by the end she felt like family.

Thank you so much for posting your nice review even about another tour. I also had a wonderful day in Shirakawago, Takayama and Hida Furukawa with you though a little bit busy tour. Especially, Hida-Beef sushi which we ate together in Takayama was so delicious!! Also, Festival Museum in Hida Furukawa was great, wasn't it? Thank you for giving me such a wonderful chance to guide around Gifu's charming places to you. There are lots of fun memories with you about the tour because you are so friendly to me. Please come to Gifu again with your family. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Personalized Full Day Tokyo Tour

Tomoko was an exceptional guide and truly made our day in Tokyo unforgettable. Even with steady rain, she transformed the day into one of the highlights of our trip. From peaceful shrines and beautiful architecture to bustling food stalls, fascinating history, and delicious local treats, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. Her warmth, knowledge, and sense of fun made every moment enjoyable, and she showed us a side of Tokyo we never would have discovered on our own. We left with full stomachs, great memories, and a deep appreciation for the city. Getting to know her better over a wonderful meal at the end of the day was truly a special way to end the tour. We wholeheartedly recommend Tomoko to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Tokyo experience. You’ll have a lovely time! Haiku for Tomoko: Clouds came for the show, Tomoko outshined the rain— Tokyo smiled back.

A day in Kyoto with Jasmine

We had a fantastic time with Jasmine in spite of a day of non stop light rain. All the umbrellas made for great photography. A wonderful tour of some of Kyotos highlights. Highly recommend Jasmine. A very competent & experienced guide. Thank you so much! Patrick & Mary Ann & And

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.
