Japan Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Awesome guide !”

Yoji was one of the best guides that we have ever interacted with. Our experience with Yoji was excellent throughout the whole process. In fact, the process started quite before the tour day, where we discussed our itinerary, what we wanted to cover, as well as getting recommendations beyond the tour day, of things to do and restaurants to go. On the tour day, we saw the beauty that Kanazawa has to offer, with a highlight for the Kenrokuen Garden, which it is a splendid place to go with a beautiful scenery, that you should enjoy with all your senses. We really enjoyed being with Yoji throughout the day, where we learned about Kanazawa as well as about the Japanese culture. Also worth mentioning is that Yoji himself is a very interesting person to meet, as he has lived in other countries, which provide him with a good perspective of the world that we live in. The restaurants that he recommended were excellent and the food that we had in Kanazawa was outstanding. Don't miss the chance to drink sake in some of your meals to have a complete experience. Also, Yoji recommended us a visit to a sake brewery, that is around 400 years old, where we were able to taste different types of sake and we also learned about the sake production process and how it impacts the sake quality. If you have a chance to go to Kanazawa, make sure to book some time with Yoji. I'm certain that you will have a very nice time in Kanazawa as we did. Yoji, thank you so much for taking care of us. We really appreciated the time with you.

“Highlights of Osaka”

Rio was a very good guide. He was a local so had a lot of stories and experiences . We had a lovely afternoon and visited the old medical school so could see the style of the older houses. We covered a lot of areas in Osaka in 4 hours. It was a lovely end to our trip of Japan.

“Day in Hiroshima”

Keiji collected us from the train station as we arrived from Kyoto by train. Keji was very flexible and allowed us to change the itinerary. We visited the Atomic bomb dome and Peace memorial museum. Keiji had purchased the tickets online for us so we did not need to wait in the que . It was very busy as there was a flower festival. He took us for lunch to a Okonomiyaki restaurant which catered for the members of our party who were vegetarian. It was a very nice experience. We then took the ferry to Itsukushima shrine in Miyajima island. It was very nice experience even though it was very crowded. We did not have time to visit the castel but saw it in the distance.
