My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Yanaka with Eriko. Eriko was a terrific guide. We covered a lot of ground, but it never felt like the pace was overly ambitious. She was prepared with many helpful anecdotes, historical insights, and graphics/images - we learned so much, and she very graciously answered all of our many questions (both on-topic and off- !). We would highly recommend this experience to other tourists.

We booked this tour take to take a deeper look at traditional Tokyo during a short trip in city. It delivered that and more! Yumi was an excellent host. She was very understanding about our late arrival due to train line confusions and really walked us through the roots of the neighborhood and a bit of traditional Japan. She was also very personable and knew everything we asked. Great tour to get away from the buzz and crowds in most of Tokyo.

Mizuho our guide was very informative, considerate and caring. She made my family feel very welcome and overall the tour itself was eye opening.

We had an incredible guide who was so happy to teach us all about the beautiful culture here. Very patient and informative!! Would definitely recommend the tour! :)

Thankyou Miki.   It was such an enjoyable day.  An incredibly beautiful place with the Autumm foliage, mountain views and the beautiful clear water stream.   We learnt so much on the day as well about the origins/customs/stories of the Kuramo area and shrines from our wonderful guide Miki who was so lovely.   It was definitely a highlight of our Japan trip. We went as a family group with 19 and 17 year old son and daughter and they loved it also.

We absolutely loved this tour. Rie Mori is the best tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Plus she was extremely friendly and personable. I would highly recommend this tour especially with Rie.

Visiting Nijo castle, though extremely busy was fantastic. The paintings are breathtaking and wonderful. The gardens at Kinkaku-ji are simple breathtaking and the autumn leaves were just starting to work their magic. Ginkaku-ji is also very wortha visit as the “temple” is original and very sombrely beautiful. The views are wonderful. By the timie we got to Kiyomizu-dera the light was failing but it is such an amazing place and a great way to finish a tour. Thank you Miki for taking us around.

What a wonderful experience! Harumoto was our tour guide and it was such a treat to have such a knowledgeable person guiding us. He was fun to talk with and was so great with talking with our kids along the way. Our 13 year old had so many questions, and Harumoto was so good at explaining things in a way she was interested in. We would recommend to any of our friends or family.

I highly recommend this! It was an amazing experience with Kaori. She was very friendly, helpful and kind. If I will go Back to Japan I will choose you guys again. 😊❤️

This tour was the highlight of our stay in Kyoto. We were so lucky to have Mizuho as our guide and to get to know her during the day. Mizuho took us places we would not have found on our own, provided interesting commentary as we walked and she also arranged a beautiful lunch for us at a traditional Japanese restaurant. The tour took us to some of the most beautiful shrines and the autumn colours in the mountains was amazing. We were very grateful to Mizuho who also took us to Nanzen-ji when we returned to Tokyo. This was unplanned but we finished the hike a little early and Mizuho asked where we hadn’t yet been. We had the best day with Mizuho. Cannot recommend the tour or her highly enough.

Amazing!! Highly recommend for private tours. We were traveling with children and had only 2 days in Kyoto. Omakase helped plan the perfect one day itinerary for us that was customized to visit our top sites. The communication before and during the tour were outstanding. They took the time to confirm every detail. Moreover, our private tour guide Miyo was the BEST!! She was knowledgeable and personable. I loved her ability to be flexible when it started to rain to ensure that we saw the perfect sites before the rain and during the rain. I highly recommend requesting Miyo. She also had all sort of fun ideas to keep our kids engaged and lots of wonderful recommendations. Her communication was great and we loved spending the day with her. Also, our driver was outstanding too. He was always available for us and expertly navigated us to all the sites. Thank you and look forward to returning to Japan soon!

We went to Asakusa-Senso-ji Temple, Nakamise-Dori, Walk along Sumida River. took pictures of amazing view background Tokyo Sky Tree, The Flame Building, Lunch @Shanmai Shushi with your guide Fumi. Head to Shibuya, walk around Shibuya,Shibuya Scramble, Harajuku, Takeshita Street & end the day at the beautiful Mei Ji Shrine

I was very lucky to be paired with Mizuho as my guide. You don’t know who your choices are until after booking. You get an email confirmation from the company. I was traveling alone but didn’t know the tour would literally be a private 1x1 tour. I was hesitant because of the hefty price but gradually throughout the day, I fell more and more in love with everything about the hike including Mizu’s friendliness and professionalism. She picked me up from my hotel and kindly explained to me what our itinerary was going to be like. She spoke good English. The tour was perfect from beginning to end. You are also expected to pay for the guide’s lunch to which I had no issue with at all. I just wanted her to choose an amazing spot and she did! Lunch was delicious and the perfect intermission after hiking. She is so thoughtful in how she carries her conversation. We spoke almost from beginning to end which is 9am-5pm. The hike was magnificent. Many beautiful shrines along the way, stairs, and beautiful views of the trees and mountains. Spring and autumn are probably best when to book. This was so much fun and delightful and I made sure to soak up every bit of Mizu’s knowledge. She was patient and took photos of me every time I asked. I am so thankful I chose to do this tour that I teared up as our day came to an end. Thank you Mizu! I’ll never forget you.

It was a fabulous tour because the guide was wonderful , so knowledgeable , flexible , charming and fun ! She adapted the tour to exactly what we requested . We had a great day together and saw so much of Kyoto . We highly recommend this tour company ! .

We did a wonderful food tour in Tokyo, Shimbashi quarter with the guide Mutsuko who was excellent and brought us to two typical Japanese restaurants that we would have never found if we were alone. It was a great evening!
