Japan Tour Reviews

A wonderful, thoughtful guide

Fuji was very kind and patient on our custom tour. We had some specific shopping requests, and he pointed us in the right direction. We were lucky to have him as our guide

Aloha to the Max!

Harry was an awesome guide since we landed. He was very flexible in what can be done as we hired him for 2 days. We enjoyed his knowledge and company so much we hired him another 2 days to show us around for total of 4 days. His English is very good as he lived in Hawaii for 3 years as a teacher, teaching High-school and College students. He teaches many subjects, but his specialty is chemistry which is cool, so he understands a lot about Geology as well and is able to explain many other aspects of Okinawa, not just history. We were able to visit the Okinawan archives and find out more about our family's genealogy. We found out we were Pechin Okinawan Samurai warrior family. Which was really cool as there were also historical documents about my Great Grandfather and his immigration back in the 1917. Harry would take us to local Okinawan restaurants which were incredibly delicious. And as a big treat we visited Ogimi village, which is a Blue Zone village that has the most centennials in the world. And we ate at Emi No Mise which serves the traditional Okinawan food that they eat to live a long long life. We visited Shuri Castle which was a treat and to me the best part is he took us to the Himeyuri Peace memorial where it honor the high-school girls who were nurses that tried to help during the Battle of Okinawa. It's such a solemn and sober feeling as more than half died during the war. Powerful monument. I truly appreciated understanding what happened. Harry is very knowledgeable and patient, very patient because he is a teacher as well and still teaches students. I appreciated him very much because my parents are in their 80s and move and think slower, hard of hearing too. And Harry understood. He is a good person, solid! Highly Recommend! A Kind person. I took both my parents and we really enjoyed ourselves Sincerely and Aloha, Aran Higa from Hawaii

The Perfect Tokyo Day with Johnny - Like Travelling with Family

Our day with Johnny was absolutely wonderful. My son and I instantly felt like we were exploring Tokyo with a cool family member who knows the city like the back of his hand. He thought of everything. Especially when it came to keeping a toddler happy, comfortable, and entertained. Johnny planned the day so thoughtfully. We visited a fun indoor play area (“Playground 4 Kids Shibuya”) which was perfect for my little one — and surprisingly cheap! He took us to Meiji Shrine for a gorgeous photo under the giant torii gate, wandered through “kawaii street” on Takeshita Street, and even introduced us to the sweetest Hamster and Hedgehog Café. One of my favourite moments was at Togo Shrine: watching huge koi fish, doing a fortune, making a wish, and exploring all the beautiful amulets. It was peaceful, meaningful, and so special. Throughout the day, Johnny adjusted our plans based on my son’s moods and what we were interested in. It made everything feel relaxed and perfectly tailored to us. He also introduced me to real, traditional mochi, which I absolutely loved! On top of all that, Johnny brought his own camera and took the most beautiful photos during the tour. They captured the day so naturally and are memories I’ll treasure. If you’re visiting Tokyo (especially with a child or family) I can’t recommend Johnny enough. Kind, fun, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our day with him.

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.
