An Absolute Treat

On our second visit to Tokyo, we were fortunate enough to have Shusaku guide us for the second time, in a completely different area to our first tour with him two years ago. Shusaku gave us a wonderful night seeing the sights and bright lights in these famous Shinjuku areas, trying a variety of drinks and foods at three bars. Each one had a different atmosphere and added to our experience of the area, and each one was also full of locals enjoying the house specialties. A highlight was the hot sake with a burning blowfish fin, and another was entering a bar that I wouldn't have known was there or even found if I had known it was there, a truly hidden spot. I won't spoil the surprise by describing more, but I will say you can trust Shusaku to curate an experience that you cannot find as a foreigner without a guide. Shusaku is also considerate in every way, and very good company. Thanks again, mate, for an absolute treat!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. They truly mean a lot to me. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to have you back in Japan and to have the opportunity to guide you again. Time flew by, and I had such a wonderful time with you both. It makes me very happy, as a Japanese person, to know that you love Japan and continue to enjoy your time here. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you come back to Japan or if you ever need anything. Thank you again for such a wonderful time. I’m already looking forward to seeing you again!

Phenomenal!

Harry is the best!…he has a philosophy of starting at the beginning and letting the story run until the end which is exactly what we did. From the first stop where the Marines landed all the way to the very end at the southern tip of Okinawa…he lets the brutal story of the Battle of Okinawa be told. One of the most amazing things is how Okinawa survived and grew in the 80 years…from complete devastation to a vibrant island Worth every yen!

A great day in Kyoto

Robert was a knowledgeable and engaging guide to a great city. He brought a deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history to his very enjoyable tour of gardens, temples,shrines and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and recommend him highly.

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.
