Japan Tour Reviews

Excellence with Shoji

Shoji was an excellent host and guide who made us feel at home in Tokyo. He was very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating of our requirements. His lunch selection was excellent and gave us an insight into a traditional sashimi and sushi lunch. No hesitation in recommending Shoji.

Full day Kyoto tour

Lisa was truly wonderful. Her English is excellent and from the beginning she was warm, sociable and very easy to understand. She had a great plan for us but always gave us different options and adapted the day to what we wanted. At every place we visited, Lisa shared interesting and valuable information that really added to the experience. She looked after us so well and was so friendly that very quickly it felt less like being with a guide and more like having a local friend showing us her city. We fell completely comfortable with her and learned so much. We would absolutely recommend Lisa and would happily have her guide us again.

Kyoto Highlights in 1 Day: Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji & Arashiyama

We had a lovely day with Ayumi. She was punctual, organised and very accommodating, made navigating public transport effortless, and booked us excellent local places for lunch and dinner that we would never have found ourselves. What we particularly enjoyed was talking with her about everyday life in Japan — schools, family life and the social system. She is naturally quiet and her style is more about helping you experience the city like a local. A great choice if you value good planning, local food discoveries and a genuine glimpse into everyday Japanese life.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Genna! I truly enjoyed our time together, especially chatting about everyday life and schools in Japan. I'm so happy to hear that you liked the lunch and dinner spots, too! Hope to see you again in Kyoto in the future. Say hi to Natasha for me, too!

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.
