Japan Tour Reviews

“A Great 1st Day in Japan”

We hired Yukiko for our first day in Tokyo (and Japan) to help us get our bearings. She ended up being a perfect choice. She is conscientious, visiting our hotel a day early to make sure things went smoothly. She patiently showed us the ropes, helping us figure out how to pay fares and navigate the subway, so we could function on our own. She organized the day to visit three sites, each a subway ride apart, and was an informed and enthusiastic tour guide, having prepared handouts with the history of each place and kept a fast pace to make sure we got the most out of each site.

“Wonderful tour! ”

Chiaki is the BEST! At the Fudodo Temple, her printed explanations during the ceremony were invaluable to our understanding of what was going on and participating in the blessings. We had great fun in learning about Japanese traditions, history, and food during our two days with her. If you are going to Tokyo, see it with Chiaki!

“Wonderful Guide!”

Keiko could not have been a better guide! Over two half-days in Tokyo, she gave us a fantastic overview of the city’s major cultural highlights, enriching every stop with fascinating personal insights into daily life in Japan. Beyond our time together in Tokyo, Keiko went above and beyond—helping us plan our dining, navigate the subway system, and organize our Shinkansen travel from Kyoto to Kanazawa and back to Tokyo. Her assistance made our entire journey smooth and stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

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.
