Japan Tour Reviews

One of our favourite guides we have ever had....

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Nagasaki with Sho — or “Showtime,” as we affectionately called him — and what an unforgettable experience it was. Sho’s vibrant and positive energy was contagious from the start. He made our family feel so welcomed and cared for, with a level of attentiveness and kindness that was truly inspirational. Sho’s deep knowledge of Nagasaki was exceptional. He didn’t just guide us through the city’s highlights — he introduced us to hidden gardens and lesser-known gems that brought the city to life in such a unique and personal way. His passion for both the city and for making us feel at home was clear in everything he did. Flexible, insightful, and genuinely joyful to be around, Sho was more than just a guide — he felt like part of the family by the end. I honestly wish we could adopt him and bring him on every trip with us. If you're visiting Nagasaki, I cannot recommend Sho highly enough. He is truly a gem.

Kyoto Highlights

We were very lucky to have Koichi give us a tour of some of the highlights of Kyoto. Koichi is kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Kyoto, it history, the shrines and the temples. Koichi crafted a perfect itinerary for us and he is an excellent guide. I would highly recommend touring with Koichi if you have the chance. Koichi also shared with us his fondness of sake and we shared a bottle of "natural" sake that he picked out to cap off the day.

Great time out with Kuniaki

Our family of seven spent a Friday night in Shinjyuku with Kuniaki in May. It was a highlight of our trip. Kuniaki is so friendly and knowledgeable about Tokyo culture and nightlife. Kuniaki pre-arranged three stops that perfectly fit our group and as you can tell from the pictures we had a blast. Kuniaki is kind, friendly, and was very responsive and prompt in every communication. I would highly recommend taking a bar hopping tour with Kuniaki if you have the chance.

Hi Mark-san, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad to hear that your night in Shinjuku was a highlight of your trip. It was a pleasure guiding your wonderful family around — such a fun and lively group! I’m happy the spots I chose were a good fit, and I truly enjoyed spending the evening with you all. Please don’t hesitate to reach out again if you ever come back to Tokyo. I’d love to show you more hidden gems next time! Best regards, Kuni

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.
