Japan Tour Reviews

“もりさんはいちばんです!”

Mori-san provided my friends and I with a wonderful introduction to Fukuoka yatai, history, and culture for our first night in Fukuoka! He left us with excellent recommendations for future meals, pointed out famous and historical areas, and taught us the proper way to enter a shrine, wash our hands, and how to pray. His magic tricks were mind blowing also! ありがとうございます、もりさん!

“Tokyo special tour.”

Yumi was very thoughtful and a pleasure to spend time with. I enjoyed seeing Tokyo and Yumi was the perfect guide. I was very happy in Yumi's company and I was able to see much more of Tokyo than I thought possible. There was a lot of helpful advice given to make the day personalised and special to me. Communication before the tour was excellent, every question was answered and I felt very confident that the day would be tailored to my interests. I cannot thank Yumi enough for being so attentive and kind, very interesting and sharing her knowledge of Tokyo and Japan. Thank you Yumi for a very lovely special day from Caroline. Xx

“Spectacular day with delightful guide ”

Our day in Sakata was carefully planned by Pure Water. His communication prior to our ever meeting him was very detailed oriented and thorough, making sure all our needs were met. He designed a wonderful tour that included the most delicious authentic Japanese lunch followed by a visit to a tea house which included a traditional geishas' dance performance. We visited historic temples and strolled along a picturesque tree lined stone paved walkway, paralleling the historic Rice Storehouse. We would highly recommend Pure Water to design a future tour when visiting Sakata. He is caring, delightful and an outstanding guide.

Thanks a trillion for writing me such a compelling review, which I did not expect at all. I'm truly very much honored to be your private guide this time. Looking back, our plannnig started almost a year ago. Over the year we repeatedly exchanged our information on dietary restrictions, interesting places to visit, and accessibility to the destinations. Simply due to your meticulous data, I was able to tailor our tour to your needs and requests. I just cannot thank you enough! You seven tour mates have been all very amicable and comfortable to talk with throughout the trip. I'm more than happy that you enjoyed every single minute of this tour like I did as well. I do hope that all the fantastic memories in Sakata will stay with you for the rest of your life. Wishing our paths will definitely cross again in the future while I'm still at work as a guide. See you soon! Purest Water (my guide name)

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.
