Highlights of Hiroshima

A last minute cruise detour found us docking in Hiroshima. We were extremely lucky to find Miyouri available. We had an EXCEPTIONAL day touring both Miyajima and the Peace Park. The compassion, knowledge and ability to share her knowledge with us was beyond our expectations. She even brought along home made origami birds for us to leave at the Children’s memorial.

Thank you for your warm and kind words. I feel fortunate as well, because your cruise ship’s visit to Hiroshima gave me the chance to spend a wonderful day with you. I hope the memories of Hiroshima will stay with you forever.

Best Kyoto tour private guide

Ayumi is a very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. Very responsive and easy to communicate. I liked the fact that she is flexible to personalize your tour and add on or change any sightseeing/place you want to see. She was on time. Ayumi speaks very good English and explains the Japanese tradition and history of every place you visit. It was a great fun experience and day. It was very easy and worry free day. She takes care of traveling via train, subway, and let you choose a yummy typical Japanese restaurant for lunch. You can shop with her or get an ice cream too. Lots of good pictures and memories. I highly recommend Ayumi to everyone in the Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe area. Ayumi is the best!

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you. I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and made great memories in Kyoto. I hope to see you again someday soon!! Safe travels!

Engaging and Knowledgeable

On our first morning in Kanazawa we were fortunate to have Raphael as our guide. Raphael is a clear communicator, paced our 4 hour tour well and had a great way of enriching our stay in Kanazawa. He is very knowledgeable about the history and the sights. He helped us with what to do after our time with him as well. We went to the market and focused mostly on the Samurai district. Along the way though we learned more about Kanazawa and other aspects of Japanese culture. Another strength of Raphael is that he reads people (at least us) well and knew how to make the best use of our time together. We had a lot of fun with him, he has a great sense of humor!

Amy, Doug, Thank you very much for a Stellar Day and review! It was a lot of fun showing you around Kanazawa. I wish we could have spent more time together but I am absolutely grateful to have had the opportunity to meet you both. Wishing you the very best back home! If you ever come back around, please, let me know! Kind regards, Raphaël

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.
