Discovering Takayama with a true local

Our trip to Takayama was truly memorable and greatly due to George. Our party of 10 pax did a half day tour around Takayama were he showed us local shops, hidden spots and shared a lot about the culture and history of Takayama. We enjoyed it a lot. Also George was amazing with the kids which was truly appreciated. What was truly amazing was the day after. We planned to do a shower climbing (like canyoning) through the river (which we recommend also a lot) and George helped us with the reservation as operators didn’t speak english or very basic. We found out later that the transport service to the river wasn’t included or arranged in the experience which was about a 30 minutes drive. George offered to drive us for a very fair fee and we also ended up having a local lunch experience and visited a natural hotspring onsen with him. We were the only tourists and felt really welcomed by locals. All in all great 2 days and very thankful to have had George and Takayama Walks to support us!

Professional! Smooth Transaction, and flexible with itinerary

She gave our guests a very memorable and informative tour. Lily is easy to talk to, she is flexible with the itinerary, very keen with details. She reached out days before the tour to discuss the flow of the tour. Hope to book you again with our future bookings.

Awesome experience in Kyoto with Yuta.

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.
