- Meijo0 contributionsExcellent Curated Kobe 1-Day TourWe truly appreciated our guide Ms Mizuho for curating our day tour at the onset by presenting options for us to choose from that suited our personal preferences. We enjoyed her companionship and insights throughout the day experiencing the interesting places she brought us to.Written 12 February 2025
- I3326GCgavinc0 contributionsFun night out with a local guideOur local guide Ferdinand guided us to three unique and diverse restaurants, as well as providing us with interesting and amusing history facts about the areas we were exploring. The highlight was finishing the night at a local standing bar, which we would not be able to normally do as tourists. Very fun, highly recommended!Written 11 February 2025
- jomS1420JY0 contributionsFantastic tourWhat an amazing experience, our guide Teddy was so friendly, contacted us in the morning and helped us with our travel arrangements to the meeting place, he also spoke perfect English, along the track to the monkeys Teddy gave us lots of interesting facts about the monkeys and the area and then we met the monkeys, the most fantastic sight, worth every penny!Written 9 February 2025
- Navigator501775767560 contributionsFantastic day experience in Hiroshima.What a fantastic day we had in Hiroshima with our local guide Kahori. It was well worth having a full day to experience and explore the sights of the city in a personalised and relaxed manner. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable and took time to explain not only the history relating to Hiroshima but the daily life and culture of the Japanese. She organised lunch in a local small traditional restaurant which added enormously to our local experience. We had a great day. Would recommend it.Written 8 February 2025
- Anette Y0 contributionsBest guide i KyotoWe had a fantastic tour in Kyoto thanks to our guide Michiko san! She was very sweet, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She shared interesting stories about the city and made the experience both fun and educational. She was also very attentive to our needs and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. We highly recommend her!Written 8 February 2025
- 390katez0 contributionsA walking tour not to be missed for those interested in learning about the Shoguns and seeing an old part of Tokyo.We enjoyed a wonderful history lesson around an old part of Tokyo we would never have known existed but for this tour. We learnt so much about the Shogun periods, the life of the Shoguns and relationships with the various Emperors. We walked through an old cemetery to visit the last Shogun’s grave, and visited various significant Shrines and Temples. We finished up walking through the gorgeous Yanaka Ginza shopping strip. Lots of delicacies to sample and lovely wares and souvenirs. Yumi Takahashi our private guide was amazing - very knowledgeable and a delight to spend time with. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The sun was shining and we also passed some homes along the way that survived the big earthquake and were over 90-100 years old.Written 7 February 2025
- Hel Moo G0 contributionsTokyo in a day, very helpful and insightfulThank you Kaori for being our tour guide today, would be lost with out you. I really enjoyed the explanation behind Japanese history and culture, visiting the market, then viewing the jaw dropping view from the roof top!Written 7 February 2025
- jessicaaU858ST0 contributionsFantastic day tour filled with temples and shoppingWe had such a great day with Yuki! We spent half of the day visiting the local Kyoto temples and beautiful rock garden, then enjoying a delicious ramen and a visit to the markets for some shopping. Yuki was such a great tour guide :)Written 6 February 2025
- 967Anastasia730 contributionsKyoto day tourSince we only had one full day in Kyoto, we decided to get the private tour, and it was the best decision! Our guide Yoriko, a local who was born and raised in Kyoto, made sure we visited all the memorable sites in one day! The tour was very well organized, and Yoriko was very professional and knowledgeable. She picked us up from our hotel, and most of the tour was on foot or by train. Yoriko is a pleasure to be around, she is very educated with the in-depth knowledge of history. She even made a special origami gift for my daughter's birthday, which was such a surprise and made her birthday so unforgettable. We feel like we have seen so much in a short period of time and made a mental note to come back to the rock garden that we all enjoyed. This tour is a must for someone who is in Kyoto for a short period of time and wants to get an idea about the city. We cannot recommend Yoriko enough, it was a fantastic tour. Thank you very much!!!!!Written 6 February 2025
- jessicaaU858ST0 contributionsFantastic Hiroshima day tourNagako was an amazing tour guide! We had a wonderful day visiting miyjima island and seeing the local deer! We tried the local onomiyaki which was delicious. After lunch we visited the A bomb dome and museum - while very confronting, it is a must see for any tourist wanting to learn more about Hiroshima’s history.Written 4 February 2025
- jessicaaU858ST0 contributionsFantastic Osaka day tourFantastic day tour roaming the streets of Osaka. Akari was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable! We enjoyed trying the local takoyaki at the fish markets and exploring the Osaka castle. Would definitely recommend !Written 3 February 2025
- Getaway052240654180 contributionsSnow monkeys in a natural hot bathTeddy was a brilliant guide, and the monkeys are such a great sight. The walk was easy but beautiful. The snacks on the way up are delicious; it was snowing when we visited and a hot tea and roast sweet potato were welcome!Written 28 January 2025
- madysonj20250 contributionsHighly recommended!A delightful tour of Kobe’s hidden gems. From the scenic Meriken Park to the historic Kitano district, this city offers a perfect blend of nature and culture.Written 21 January 2025
- 273bradleyj0 contributionsGreat tour around SapporoMs. Chieko was an amazing tour guide. Family friendly and patient with our 8 and 6 year old daughters, who are not the easiest to travel with. Saw so much because of her ability to navigate the local public transit lines. Very enjoyable day ranging from a trip to the top of a mountain with a very cool Olympic Museum and exhibit and ending and a great chocolate factory. Great memories highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to get around Sapporo.Written 19 January 2025
- S5908TLkathyh0 contributionsOsaka with MiyoHad a fantastic time with Miyo after dropping our 6 children off to Universal Studios Japan. We ventured to Osaka Castle for our own private tour with Miyo who very kindly arranged for us to use the lifts as there are a lot of stairs. She passionately explained the history of the castle and surrounds and then took us to Kuromond Market for yakiniku for lunch. Miyo, again was fantastic and helped us order and cook our food. We cannot recommend this personalised tour with Miyo enough. She was absolutely wonderful.Written 17 January 2025

We loved the kitchenware tour with Yuki. Yuki was excellent and asked us what our expectations were of the tour as we started and then made sure to meet our needs during the tour. For example, Yuki wanted to know what kitchenware we were most interested in and what we might be interested in buying. We truly enjoyed our day and through our discussions with Yuki also better appreciated some of the many cultural differences. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you
