A Perfect Day Exploring Kyoto’s Hidden Gems — Fumi is Incredible!

We booked the private eight-hour Kyoto western treasures tour through Go With Guide and it was hands down one of the most memorable days of our entire trip. Our tour guide Fumi was absolutely exceptional — friendly, warm, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Kyoto. She made our group of six feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We paid for an extra hour and included the round-trip Sagano Romantic train ride. The itinerary itself was perfectly curated. We began at the enchanting Ōtagi Nenbutsu-ji, where the hundreds of whimsical stone statues were unlike anything we had ever seen. From there, we walked the historic Atago Kaidō to Jōjakkō-ji Temple, strolled through the magical Bamboo Grove, and visited the stunning Tenryū-ji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a wonderful lunch break, we explored the world-renowned rock garden at Ryōan-ji before finishing the day at the breathtaking Kinkaku-ji — the Golden Pavilion truly lived up to every expectation. What set this tour apart was Fumi. Her knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful and memorable. If you are planning a trip to Kyoto, this tour is an absolute must — and if Fumi is your guide, you are in for an extraordinary day. Highly recommend!

A good day in Takayama and Hida-furukawa

we had an enjoyable and interesting day with Tetsuji Y. as our guide in Takayama and Hida-furukawa. Tetsuji-san put together the itinerary according to our preferences and wishes and was flexible enough and abele to adjust during the day to accommodate our wishes. His english language skills are good and allowed easy conversation and so we had a good time together.

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.
