“An Amazing and Unforgettable Fukuoka Tour ”

We had selected Tadashi because he was our age group and had a lifetime history of Fukuoka as he was born there. We traveled to Japan to celebrate my wife's being born in Fukuoka many years ago. Tadashi did an excellent job of helping us remember the Fukuoka of 60+ years ago. He went out of the way to create a special tour for us and we will forever be grateful. After the the Fukuoka and Brady Air Base tour, we then boarded a train bound for Nanzoin Temple in Sasaguri. There he led us through the temple grounds, explaining the significance of statues, symbols and culture. Finally he presented to us the world's largest bronze statue of the Reclining Buddha! We had been to many temples and shrines during our trip to Japan but none could compare to this. Tadashi was a warm, charming person and an excellent guide. The day went by so quickly and my wife and I agree, it was THE highlight of our 2 week trip to Japan. We left having made new friends and memories. The pictures we took will always bring smiles to our faces and remind us of how lucky we were to have found Tadashi-san. Thank you Tadashi :)

“Tokyo with Kenji Oct27-26”

We spent a really wonderful & pleasant day with Kenji. Really knowledgeable about the different sights, including the history & back stories. He also took us to a really delicious sushi place for lunch. Above all, Kenji was very patient and considerate about our needs, including our need for stable terrain, pace, and requests to rest as needed. Definitely recommend Kenji K if they need a guide for a lovely day in Tokyo. His energy and enthusiasm was infectious! Thanks, Kenji Thomas & Shirley

“Osaka tour with Masahisa”

*****An Unforgettable Osaka Experience with Masahisa!** Our tour with Masahisa was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our time in Osaka. From the very start, he tailored the day to our interests and showed us parts of the city we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of Osaka’s history, culture, and traditions was incredible. Every location came alive with fascinating stories and insights that gave us a much deeper appreciation of the city. Masahisa truly takes the time to show you the “real” Osaka, far beyond the typical tourist attractions. What impressed us most was his expertise navigating the city. We travelled by train throughout the day, and he seemed to know every station, platform, and exit by heart without ever needing to stop and check directions! His organisation made the day seamless and stress-free. Masahisa was warm, friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city with us. Just be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes because you’ll be exploring plenty and making the most of every moment! Thank you, Masahisa-san, for an amazing day and unforgettable memories. **Arigatou gozaimasu, Masahisa-san! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Osaka.

Carly It was my great pleasure to show you a different side of Osaka as per your request, especially its traditional shopping arcades that fortunately survived the air raids of World War II. I imagine you all must be quite tired after walking through so many shopping streets over such a long day, especially while still adjusting to the time difference. Please take good care of yourselves and make sure to get enough rest as you continue exploring Kyoto and the other destinations in Japan. I sincerely hope you all enjoy every remaining moment of your journey in Japan and return home safely with many happy and unforgettable memories. Thank you again for visiting us from afar. Thanks Masahisa

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.
