Bruce Sugano was a really great guide! He was very patient with us as we went to different shops to buy souvenirs and he showed us a lot of really fun places. Bruce even encouraged us to take pictures and would help us take photos from place to place. The experience was overall educational and fun!

Bruce Sugano, was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, engaging, and was very flexible with his itinerary.

Noriko was so amazing. She was super patient with us, considering a 20 month old can be a bit difficult! But she was so accommodating and flexible. Helped us navigate transportation and was very knowledgeable.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Norio Oki was our guide. He was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited and gave us some history of the local sites. We visited Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden, Sorakuen and Kobe Motomachi Shopping Street. We took the ropeway to the Herb Garden. The view was amazing! The flowers and herbs were spectacular. The Sarakuen was a paradise. Lots of trees, flowers, and water ways with large coi. Kobe is a beautiful city. You will not regret taking this tour. Make sure to ask for Norio Oki! He communicated with us within a few days of reserving the tour and kept in touch several times prior to the tour. You will be in good hands with Norio! Joe and Betty

Nikko is a Jewel of a town. We finally experienced the Japanese countryside, away from the busy big cities. The waterfalls were wonderful to see on a sunny day, the Rinnoji Temple was extremely interesting to visit. The streets and eateries cozy and cute . We had a fantastic private guide, her name is Yoko Nakata. She really made a difference to our visit, as she informed us of all the stories and legends of the area, so we just had to listen effortlessly and we learnt a lot. She also recommended places to visit (and was spot-on with the choices) and a lovely little restaurant for lunch, which we really enjoyed. Yoko really went above and beyond, she gave us a lot of extremely interesting information to help us understand Japanese life and traditions. We would highly recommend Yoko to anyone wanting to visit Nikko!!! A really amazing experience!!

We had an amazing time with Tomoyo as our guide. She asked what are interests before the tour and provided great information so that our tour went smoothly. We saw the highlights of Miyajima and ate some delicious oysters. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. We went to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park before sunset and visited the museum which was an emotional experience. She then booked us a restaurant knowing we wanted to try okonomiyaki and we had a delicious meal. We would definitely recommend booking with Tomoyo.

Sam was a great tour guide, very informative and created an itinerary to our requests. Even though he had to take us about 40minutes on the train as our what we wanted to see was a fair way away from our accommodation!

Higashi was an excellent host and driver for our Iya Valley tour. He collected us with our luggage and discussed the itinerary before setting off. He is an excellent driver and the car was spotless. We stopped at two lookout points, enjoyed a quiet river Cruise and travelled to the twin vine bridges stopping off to see the town of scarecrows on the way. The vine bridges were fun to cross. Then we headed back for an enjoyable coffee at the single vine brudge, returning to our destination by our agreed time. It was a pleasure travelling with Higashi and we highly recommend the tour.

We had a great day in Tokyo with our very knowledgeable, dedicated and nice guide. We learnt a lot, it was efficient og nice

One of our best Viator experience of so many wonderful Viator tours all due to our amazing guide, Yoshiko Hattori. Yoshi is so pleasant and professional. The perfect ambassador for Japanese culture and Viator. She skillfully took us to so many popular places in Nagasaki while making the most of our time throughout the tour. Her commentary throughout the tour was interesting and insightful. We especially appreciate her sharing her father's experience as an atomic bomb survivor and her family's experience afterward. Yoshi has a unique passion and love for people, as well as her country. I highly recommend that you seek her out for the best tour ever!

Fantastic experience of Hiroshima. Miki is an excellent tour guide …very sensitive and knowledgeable about the history and also the human aspects of the Hiroshima story. Would highly recommend Miki who had excellent English.

Chiyuki was a wonderful guide. Very informative. There’s so many things that we would’ve just walked past if we didn’t have Chiyuki to give us the rich history and detail. She brought the story of Himeji Castle to life. Great experience. I would definitely recommend Chi Yuki as your next guide.

First- we had the pleasure of meeting Toshi who was a well organized tour guide- he had a small gift, visuals and historical background ready as we walked through Osaka Castle, Osaka Housing Museum and shopping at the local areas- Toshi had IC cards ready for us to use which we just paid back at the end- it was much easier to navigate trains and subways. He also found a wonderful hotel for lunch (which was also fabulous and affordable) view overlooked Osaka Castle-

Our wonderful guide was Koichi Sato. We got to see Niigata from all the corners. But most of all Koichi made our day, he is a marvelous guide, always trying to help and to make us feel good. Fully recommended

We had an absolutely wonderful time with An in Tokyo! She was patient, friendly and showed us around like friends instead of clients. We hit tons of places in a short 6 hours, with history and culture lessons at each location. My personal recommendation is Nezu shrine, an oasis in the middle of Tokyo - and definitely with An!
