great tour with shoji yesterday! his enthusiasm & passion for all the local shrines & temples was contagious. highly recommended

I had an incredible experience with our Japanese tour guide while exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima. Shin has an extensive knowledge and brought the history and culture to life, and their enthusiasm created an engaging and memorable journey. From the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima to the iconic floating torii gate in Miyajima, every moment was enriched by their insightful commentary. His attention to detail and genuine passion for sharing the beauty of these places made the tour truly exceptional. I highly recommend Shin for an enlightening and enjoyable exploration of these historic sites.

Kiyoko was an incredible tour guide. She picked us up at the port and then took as to take the ferry to Sakurajima Volcano. It was breath taking. After ferrying back to mainland we stopped by a local market to grab some snacks. We then headed to Sengan-en (Japanese Gardens). It was amazing to learn that they used cats in battle to tell time of day with. "Round at six, like an egg at eight and four, like a persimmon seed at ten and two, and a needle at midday." Really really cool place. I wish we had more time to explore it.

My son and I had a wonderful tour with Yoshi as our tourguide. He showed us the most amazing places in Kyoto, introduced us to the geico district and thoroughly answered all our questions. Not only did Yoshi provide us with Information about Kyotos Heritage and sightseeings, but he was also an amazing Partner for engaging discussions. It was a wonderful tour that finished off with a delicous traditional japanese lunch at Yoshis „secret“ restaurant. I definitely recommend this tour and especially Yoshi - Yoshinobu Tanizawa!!! Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful half day tour of Himeji with Chiyuki--who was a fabulous, enthusiastic, informative guide. She was the best guide we had on our entire Japan trip! We loved her energy as she guided us through the city of Himeji, the castle and the beautiful gardens next to the castle. She even led us to a great sushi restaurant near the train station before our trip back to Osaka. You can tell she really loves her city. We strongly recommend Chiyuki and this excellent tour of Himeji!

This was a fantastic tour. Yuji has to be one of the best guides we have had. He is very organised, but flexible. He is very knowledgable about the history of Hiroshima and Miyajima and about the religions associated with the temples on Miyajima. His special additions greatly enhanced the experience. We had well-presented information to read on the train ride. We will remember his flute playing in the forest. We greatly appreciated his good humour and generosity. Thankyou Yuji.

Even before our tour day, Sato-san began communicating with us to find out more about our interests to customize our half-day tour together. She then offered to meet us in our hotel lobby when we were uncertain of train usage to meet her in Kurashiki. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and brought maps with her to explain history, geography, and context. Although not initially interested in the Ohara Museum, we were glad she encouraged us to visit: it was a treasure trove of Western art and an amazing curated collection of art while also showing artist Kojima’s stylistic evolution. After our time together, she recommended we eat udon at Furuichi Bukkekan, a local noodle specialty. Delicious! We highly recommend Sato-san and would hire her again for any future trips in the area including Naoshima.

Fantastic tour with Kazuo Sumi. He is very knowledgeable, kind and patient and knows how to move around Kyoto on a tight schedule. Arigato gozaimasu, Kasuo Sumi! Cheers from Brazil!

Kenji Kasawa was our great guide in Hiroshima. He gave us clear and detailed explanation of the displays, museums and monuments. He guided us into shopping areas and to a typical local Ramen noodle shop for local flavor. I recommend Kenji highly for a tour in Hiroshima.

We had a very enjoyable tour around Mt Fuji Kawaguchiko 5 lakes area with Masako. Even though it was a cloudy day we were able to take some great pictures. She was very courteous and provided recommendations and options for us. Thank you Masako for the great Mt Fuji tour experience!

A great tour guide unfortunately he couldnt take us to everything because there is so much in Kyoto. But there we did see the main areas like golden pavilion and Nijo castle. Super great and very friendly to talk to. If you want to really know Kyoto this is your guide.

Junichi was incredible! This tour was our favorite from all over Japan. He tailored it to our exact interests, and we covered a lot of ground while not feeling rushed. He has a great sense of humor and always made sure that we were doing okay and interested in where he was taking us. He's so knowledgable about history and culture, and he took us to an incredible lunch spot! He went above and beyond ensuring that we had a great time. I highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you so much, Junichi!

We had an amazing tour through Kiyomizu-dera and Gion with our fabulous guide, Yoshi Tanizawa-san. Besides being fluent in English, he was clear, thoughtful and engaging. He was able to cater to the needs of two school going children and two adults. He kept our kids engaged with on-spot “quizzes” so that they are familiar with the sights and history. He was authentic with our kids and was warm in his discussions with them. With us adults, he was clearly knowledgable and patient with our questions, interspersed with his past experiences. He topped the wonderful tour with an unforgettable lunch surprise! You know Yoshi-san did it right when our kids asked to meet him again when we are next in Kyoto! Thank you, Yoshi-san for an amazing experience!

This tour was amazing! im traveling alone so i always go to some tours the first day i arrive to a city, and this was the best tour i took in hakata. Sasuke , the guide who took the tour, she has a lot of knowledge of the city, the temples, shrines and fukuoka castle! she was very kind to help me to get a new phone after i broken the old one. we got to see the laying buda, kushida shrine and even the first zen temple of japan. i learned a lot of japan history and also could tied up things i already knew to fukuoka and hakata! im very grateful of all of her patience and good disposition of walking around the city. どうもありがとうございます!
