Hisato planned a custom day for the four of us based on our interests. We highly recommend her. The highlights of our full day included walking on a suspension bridge used by locals and the visit to the wasabi farm where we purchased tasty food items - including wasabi ice cream. We sampled various traditional sweets throughout the day and had matcha tea at the botanical garden after viewing the city and the castle remains from above. Hisato was informative throughout the day and had communicated regularly with us prior to our arrival. She provided detailed information on the multiple stops tourists find interesting and we tailored the tour to places of interest to us.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of having Ichi as our guide during our honeymoon in Nikko, Japan, and the experience was unforgettable. From the moment we booked, Ichi was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, customizing the itinerary perfectly to suit our preferences. His communication was excellent, and he made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip. Ichi’s local knowledge was both insightful and fascinating, and it was such a joy to explore Nikko with someone who truly understands and loves the area. He was not only informative but also a warm and pleasant person to travel with. We can’t wait to book with Ichi again on our next visit. Highly recommend!

We spent a day with our guide, Kay Kondo exploring the Hiroshima area. From the moment we booked our tour, Kay was in touch with us in order to understand our preferences and customize our itinerary. The itinerary was very smooth and Kay provided good context and explanation when required and at some points knew when to give us some space so that we could take it all in such as at the Peace Museum. Would highly recommend this tour.

We had a personalised tour of Tokyo that meant we saw everything that we wanted to see with a guide. Tokyo is the most populated city in the world and it’s really helpful / necessary to have a local show you the sights

We had a terrific time with Yama our guide today. He made visiting Osaka very enjoyable and fun. His knowledge of all the sites we visited coupled with his great personality and sense of humor made our day in Osaka so memorable. Thank you Yama for all the great photos you took that we will treasure always. We would highly recommend you as a guide to anyone.. Thank you again for a great day and we wish you all the best.

Akira was an absolutely top notch guide. He managed to get us everywhere despite my wife's mobility issues, and even obtained a wheelchair for her at the Golden Pavilion and the Shogun's castle. The sights were all extraordinary, particularly the Buddhist site with which we started the day. Also, he was very easy to communicate with. Our driver too was friendly and very considerate.

I could not recommend Izumi Aizawa more highly. He was unbelievably kind and accommodating. For example when we told him our flight had been delayed he asked if we were tired and to let him know if we needed to rest. When my mother developed a cough he kindly took us to a chemist. We saw all of the scheduled sights but he was so open to showing us what we wanted in addition. Also his knowledge when we were at the sights was thorough and interesting. He showed us how to use the metro, helped us in shops and when buying things in the market. This was so useful on our first day as we wouldn’t have had a clue without him and it gave us knowledge for the rest of the trip. He even helped by showing us how to get to places for the rest of our trip.

We visited Hiroshima and Miyajima with our wonderful guidance, Aya. She designed a perfect itinerary for us and the day was informative, educational and fun. Highly recommend doing this trip.

We were matched with our guide Mako shortly after booking. We knew where we wanted to go (this was a return visit to Kyoto) and she was helpful in suggesting nearby restaurants ahead of time. On the day of our visit she was on time and we communicated via WhatsApp. Our day was just as we hoped and she made it very easy.

Ayako was a great guide. She planned an organized itinerary based on my choices: Golden pavilion, Nijyo Castle, and Eikandou. She also chose a nice restaurant for our lunch. She was very personable and provided great information at the sites. She let us spend as little or as much time as we wanted at each stop. We had a very enjoyable day and learned a lot.

Junichi is truly a special person. We had the most wonderful visit to Nara with him. His knowledge of Nara and spirituality runs deep - in fact some of the explanations he gave us were truly beautiful... poetic even! He is light-hearted, flexible and fun. He engaged with our 3 children (11, 9 & 4) and make our trip so special.

Yoshi is awesome! My children (11, 9 and 4) had the best time exploring Tokyo with him. He was engaging and very thoughtful about putting together a fun itinerary for our family. We were a little maxed out on seeing temples and museums so he planned a day showing us the more futuristic side of Tokyo. He kindly also proposed activities for the remainder of our stay and showed us how to navigate the subway. My children loved him and were sorry to see our tour end. Thank you, Yoshi!

We had a lovely time touring Tokyo and talking with our guide. Japan’s people, culture and history are fascinating. We highly recommend this experience.

Aki was great, very informative English was good, very efficient and well planned tour! Good for family! We’ll def use her again next time in Japan!

We had a wonderful tour with Koji. He was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He took us on a Taylor made tour of Tokyo. We had other tours scheduled in Tokyo. We gave Koji a list of the places these tours were going. He planned our itinerary so as to not repeat any of these stops. We found his tour most worthwhile and would recommend him greatly.
