Japan Private Tours

“Kaori's custom quirky tour!”

We asked for a tour to include classic "must see" Kamakura sights AND every day people fun things. We were fortunate to visit on a national holiday and to be able to combine both aspects in a single day. As cat lovers, we asked for and Kaori found, a cat cafe: treats for the most magnificent felines and us! She shared her wonderfully deep knowledge about history, religion, and culture ( and the railway system!). She provided maps and schedules as well as her own tablet to show us significant eras in Japanese history. That helped us make sense of all the historical sites which we saw. Her communication in advance of the trip was considerate of our wishes, thorough in her replies and research, and helped us prepare the perfect day. We look forward to touring with her again.

“Great tour on our last day in Japan”

My husband I enjoyed touring with Tan. She took us to all of the sites we wanted to see and some hidden gems we were pleasantly surprised to see. We ended our tour at dusk at Shibuya to watch the scramble and see the place light up. Her English was excellent and we had many good conversations throughout the tour!

“Exceptional overview of Tokyo sights and Japanese cultural experiences with Keiko-San!”

We cannot say enough to properly share our exceptional visit in Tokyo with the guidance and knowledge of our wonderful guide, Keiko-San! We did not just visit all the key sights across Tokyo, but also spent a second day visiting Kamakura at Keiko’s recommendation. The complete experience was more than we could have hoped for. The best part was that Keiko-San provided a local’s Japanese knowledge of the country, and provided a historical education which truly added a complete picture for us as first time visitors to Tokyo and Japan. The very best part for us was that in Keiko-San we had a new local friend who took personal interest in sharing her country and her knowledge with us! This very much helped set the stage for our next several weeks of travel in many other locations as we traveled throughout Japan. She provided a rich background of understanding that we would draw on for several weeks to come throughout Japan. If local knowledge of the historical sights, understanding of the culture, good exposure to food choices and selection of restaurants are important, and effective use of local transportation will make your trip most effective, we can truly recommend Keiko-San can provide exceptional guidance! We were fortunate that we booked her for two full days to begin our Japan travels, and we highly recommend her.
