Japan Tour Reviews

Best tour guide

This was our first trip to Japan, and we were travelling as three generations of our family—my mother, myself, and the children. We did a couple of tours with Kota, and he did an outstanding job planning our outings, creating itineraries that catered perfectly to everyone's interests. The boys had an amazing time exploring the anime shops, local street markets, and unique stores, as well as riding the trains and experiencing everything they had been looking forward to. Kota really connected with them, understood exactly what they wanted to see and do, and made every day fun and engaging. As food lovers, we also appreciated that Kota took us to some fantastic local restaurants that were less crowded, giving us the opportunity to enjoy authentic Japanese food away from the busy tourist spots. My mother especially enjoyed visiting the beautiful shrines and peaceful gardens, and Kota ensured there was a great balance of activities for all three generations throughout our tours. We would highly recommend Kota to anyone visiting Japan. He has a wonderful ability to connect with people of all ages, is incredibly knowledgeable, and tailors each tour to suit everyone's interests. Thanks to his thoughtful planning, our family created wonderful memories that we'll cherish for years to come.

Shin was more than a guide he became family!

Took a week trip to Japan, shin was accommodating and helped make our trip a success. When shin didn’t join us on a day the kids would all ask where is shin? He joined us for dinner helped us order and made the experience a true joy. Next time I go to Japan he will be on our speed dial.

Tony san, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We met at Narita airport on the first day. Based on your request, I booked a hire to your hotel in Ueno with no necessity to get on trains. Using our own car enabled us to visit Imperial Palace on the way to Ueno. We took a memorial picture in front of main entrance of Imperial Palace. After your checking in, we walked through the Ueno Park, where were quiet and less people. Your family showed interests in Toshogu Shrine, worshiped for Tokugawa Shogunate Family with 5 story pagodas. We enjoyed Tonkatsu, deep fried pork, dinner together. Next morning, your family went to Team-Lab on your own at Toyosu, we tried Ramen noodles at Toyosu market. In the afternoon, we used Narita Express to pick up your elder son and return to Ueno by Tobu Sky liner. That means in your two days, we experienced all three choices of transportation between Tokyo and Narita by car, two different train companies, which is the first time in my guiding career. Thank you again for giving me such unique opportunity. Leaving your hotel, we moved to Shibuya by Yamanote Line. We walked the famous Shibuya Crossing and enjoyed Sushi dinner. It was lucky for us to enjoy our 2day-tour under comfortable weather. When you have next chance to visit Japan, I am very happy to join your family again. Regards, Arigatou! Shin

Mijyajima, one of the highlights of our trip

Miyu was fantastic! She customized the half-day in Miyajima to our interests and the weather. She did not mind getting a little bit of rain with us! Her knowledge of the area and the care she takes for her group are among her best assets as a guide.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous words. Although we weren't able to hike Mt. Misen because of the rain, I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time on Miyajima. Your thoughtful comments encourage me to continue sharing the beauty and charm of Hiroshima with visitors from around the world.

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.
