Japan Tour Reviews

“Fantastic visit to Osaka”

Kotomi is an excellent guide, and she knows Osaka like the back of her hand. She accommodates your preferences and handles the planning so that you can simply enjoy your time without worry about the details. We had a fantastic visit to Osaka because of her knowledge of the city and her kind and easy going personality.

“One day in Tokyo”

What a wonderful time we had with Taka! It is very evident that Taka is a professional guide who loves to show his busy, beautiful city to his guests. He was timely, knowledgeable, and even went out of his way to help us retrieve our Shinkansen JR West Coast tickets which was a bit of a challenge since Tokyo is an East JR. He navigated us swiftly to points of interest, maximizing our precious time in Tokyo. In addition, he took us to various locations that had special events we would have otherwise missed. But we never felt rushed, taking time to re-energize with a cup of matcha & coffee mid-tour. Our day ended with a local tasty, awesome dinner. We can highly recommend Taka as an excellent guide for your Tokyo experience! Very Awesome time, thank you Taka!

Dear Homero, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Even when visiting famous attractions, I always believe in seeing them through the eyes of a local guide. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the rest of your journey from a local’s perspective. May the rest of your journey be filled with wonderful discoveries!

“Hiroshima Peace Park”

Emiko was a wonderful guide, meeting us on time at our port stop, guiding us to the points of interest, always with a little story or fact. She taught us a little of Japanese life and shared some personal thoughts which put everything in context. Her English is more than adequate, and her background as a teacher suited us well for this tour. We shared ideas and you can too. Little facts about the restaurant food was fun and historic issues were presented well. Take a tour with her, we would again.

I was truly impressed by you both, and I feel so fortunate to have been your guide. I learned so much from our conversation with such a thoughtful gentleman and such a sophisticated lady. Being able to share our thoughts on peace and different cultures is a real treasure for me. Please take good care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of your amazing trip in Japan!

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.
