Japan Tour Reviews

“The Past and Present in a 6 hour Tour”

The three of us were impressed with Hiro's knowledge at the Sannai-Maruyama site and enjoyed the morning that we spent there. The tour could be as long or short as we wanted, as Hiro is quite flexible, but we were pleased to take in as much as we could. Lunch followed at an excellent downtown restaurant and since two of us have dietary requirements, Hiro was aware and ensured that we both remained healthy.The cultural present was represented by the Wa Rasse museum which highlights the Nebuta Festival. The floats that we saw were incredibly beautiful, colourful and spirited - impressive works of art. Enjoyed an enthusiastic, joyful and informative tour - in fact we thought so highly of him we are going to have him guide us on another tour when the ship returns in October. Deb B.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The three of you were so intellectually curious that I truly enjoyed our time together as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspectives with me about how buildings were constructed, local plants, and the connections between different cultures and regions around the world. It was a real pleasure and an honor to learn from you and discuss these topics together. I also took you to a place that I don’t usually include on my tours, and I was delighted that it ended up being one of the places you enjoyed the most! I’m glad you enjoyed our lunch and that we could accommodate everyone’s dietary needs. At the Nebuta Museum WA RASSE, it also made me very happy to see you looking beyond the beautiful floats and taking an interest in the history and culture behind the festival. We even had time to share stories about our families, which made those six hours together even more enjoyable and memorable for me. Thank you again, and I’m already looking forward to our next adventure together in October. I have more in store for you! Hiro

“So Glad We Booked Three Days with Akira!”

Spending three days with Akira was a wonderful way to explore Tokyo. He made public transportation easy to navigate and always considered our needs and interests. We especially appreciated the local discoveries we never would have found ourselves, including an authentic lunch spot and an incredible fruit stand. We left with great memories and a deeper appreciation for Japan!

“A Wonderful Mix of Tokyo Highlights and Hidden Gems”

We booked Akira for three days, and we loved the variety of experiences he shared with us. From famous sights to quiet neighborhoods and wonderful local food, he helped us discover so many sides of Tokyo. His insights into Japanese culture and everyday life made our time even more meaningful. He was thoughtful, flexible, and attentive to our group. Highly recommended!

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.
