Japan Tour Reviews

Best tour guide!

Kay is easily one of the best tour guides my family has ever had in our many travels around the world. She embodies all the traits a tour guide should possess. She is knowledgeable, organized, adaptable, and caring in every way. Her warm personality made us feel like we were just traveling with another member of the family. She even bonded with our daughter re anime! We had a memorable time with Kay during our short but sweet Hiroshima visit. Excellent is an understatement. Keiko-san, どうもありがとうございます!

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! While spending time with all of you, I truly felt the warmth and comfort as if I were spending time with my own family. It was a great pleasure and a special memory for me to be part of your family reunion, and also to share such an enjoyable conversation with your daughter about anime. Above all, I would love to learn more about the secret behind your youthful energy and appearance — your secret to staying so young! (I am really curious!) Please be sure to contact me the next time you visit Japan. I would be more than happy to see you again. Hugs, Kay

Wonderful and packed with experiences.

Masahisa was an extremely professional guide who provided us with all the information we needed about the various places we visited. We had a great time, and even though the itinerary was quite full, the day passed pleasantly, including for our two teenagers, aged 14 and 16. Masahisa was also very friendly and personable, which made the tour even more enjoyable. In addition, he provided us with plenty of useful information and suggestions in advance, which helped us organize the rest of our trip more effectively. Highly recommended!

Federico It was a great pleasure guiding your family in Kyoto, and I am truly grateful that you chose to visit our ancient capital during your journey from Rome. I hope the time we spent together offered even a small glimpse into the court culture that once flourished in Kyoto. I also enjoyed meeting your wonderful children. Please give them my warm regards. One day, I hope to visit Sicily—the only region of Italy I missed to visit by this time. Wishing you and your family all the best. Warm regards Masahisa

Rilassante e molto piacevole

Junko ci ha condotti a visitare parte di Tokyo durante il nostro primo giorno di permanenza in città. Il tour è stato piacevolissimo e con i tempi giusti per potersi gustare i vari luoghi. Junko si è rilevata motlo professionale e ci ha fonito informazioni e cosigli molto utili.

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.
