Japan Tour Reviews

Old Kyoto/ Gion stroll

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine was a wonderful guide, her knowledge of Old Kyoto and all things geisha was incredible - we came away learning so much. Jasmine was very patient and happily took lots of photos for us. We even got to see a Maiko! Would definitely recommend Jasmine as your guide. Our kids really took to Jasmine - very warm and kind. She also recommended an awesome restaurant in Pontocho Alley after our tour ended.

Kagawa Prefecture

Mika listened to our interests and had wonderful suggestions. We are ex theater people and she suggested we visit the oldest Kabuki theater in Kotohira, a place I had not known thru my research. A highlight. A guide who tries to get to know you an plan an itinerary, is a gem. Not only that, she is so kind and interesting. A truly personal experience.

Thank you for your kind review. I was truly flattered to accompany your curiosity, and knowing your background made our visit even more special. I’m honored that my guiding contributed to your adventure in Japan, and I hope you will return someday to explore more of Japan’s fascinating islands and the Seto Inland Sea again. Mika

Walking tour of Gujo Hashiman in 3 hours

I feel like Akiko became a friend helping us plan a short 3 hour walking tour of Gujo Hashiman. She listened to our interests and provided interesting history and knowledge of a town known for its pure water and Oban celebration. She met us at the bus station and made sure we visited all the highlights in a short amount of time. Akiko is so accomodating and listened to our needs. She is a delight and made this visit one of the highlights of our visit to Japan.

Thank you very much for your kind and warm feedback, Frances san. I truly appreciate that you dropped by Gujo Hachiman on your way to Nagoya. Although the tour was short, I hope you had an enjoyable time in Gujo Hachiman. I was very happy to hear that you liked the museum. How did you like the rice balls? You were such wonderful guests, and I really enjoyed spending time with you. I am looking forward to seeing you in Gifu again. Thank you very much once again.

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.
