Japan Tour Reviews

“Excellent energetic guide!”

The day of a guided tour of Kyoto with Niko was fantastic. Communications with her was flawless! We got an early start to get ahead of the crowds, which was perfect. Discussed a lot of the history behind what we toured. She is a wonderful guide, and we would recommend her without any reservations. We give her a very high rating as a tour guide for Kyoto.!!!!

“Osaka Food Tour with Kokoro”

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience on our food walking tour of Osaka with Kokoro. She went above and beyond to provide us with a comprehensive, engaging, and memorable introduction to Osaka’s incredible food culture. Her upbeat personality, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for sharing her city made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Her English proficiency was excellent, which made communication effortless and allowed her to share fascinating insights, local history, and cultural details throughout the tour. It’s clear that her time living and working abroad has given her a wonderful ability to connect with visitors from different backgrounds. One of the highlights was being taken to an authentic kushikatsu restaurant, where we had the opportunity to experience this delicious Osaka specialty. It was an absolute treat and something we likely would not have discovered on our own! She also helped us navigate the food/snack section of one of the major department stores which we enjoyed as well. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Kokoro was knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic, and truly went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful time. We cannot recommend her highly enough! If you are visiting Osaka and want an authentic, enjoyable, and insightful food experience, do yourself a favor and book a tour with her. You won't be disappointed.

“Amazing guide in Kyoto!”

We had an unforgettable day thanks to our guide, who was extremely courteous, kind, and attentive to detail. He was always willing to adjust the itinerary to suit our needs, giving us useful tips and explaining what we were seeing along the way, with interesting insights that made every stop more special. He also took us to a few less touristy spots, which I really appreciated, as it let us experience Kyoto in a more authentic way, away from the crowds. I absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to see Kyoto!

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.
