Japan Tour Reviews

“Small Group/Solo Traveler Customizable Private Value”

Yacco was wonderful. Very communicative and knowledgeable. She contacted us many times before the trip to get our preferences known. We were unfortunately running late the day of the tour but she took it in stride and got us off on a wonderful adventure. She definitely does her homework and had detailed files when we met to teach us as we went, including each and every one of the items I had mentioned in our previous messages. I was quite humbled by her preparation. And her gifts. We saw so much and enjoyed every minute of it thanks to her. Unfortunately my group enjoyed the market so much that we ended up not reaching Enoshima until just as the sun set. We enjoyed the lower levels but asked her please to not lead us up to the top. We were already filled with memories, stories, mementos, and snacks. We regret nothing, except being late.

Dear Ben-san, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartwarming review! I am truly touched by your kind words. I loved tailoring the day to your interests and seeing how much your group enjoyed visiting places that mean so much to you—it was truly a precious experience for me, too. Although the weather was lovely that afternoon, it was a bit of a shame that Mt. Fuji was hidden behind clouds. However, I was so happy when you sent me that breathtaking photo of Mt. Fuji bathed in the beautiful morning light the next day! Thank you also for the lovely gift. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Japan again in the future! Warm regards, Yacco

“Tokyo Tour”

Hiromi was a wonderful host for our introduction to Tokyo - patiently leading us from site to site and answering our questions as first time visitors to Japan. She was very helpful in showing us how to use the subway system and the pace of the tour was perfect!

“Miyajima with Hugh!”

Even on a misty day, I had a thoroughly brilliant tour with Hugh. In addition to his decades of experience living in this region & his remarkably deep knowledge of Japanese history, Hugh is nothing short of a world-class raconteur. It made for a very enjoyable day that I would recommend to anyone visiting Hiroshima. Thanks Hugh!

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.
