I was the only one during this tour. Kay, the tour guide asked me what places I want to see. I told her to take me to the highlights of Kyoto. It was a customized tour therefore, I got to see the best places in Kyoto such as Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kiyomizu Temple, Ishibekoji and Yasaka Shrein. We did most of them in walking and took a bus and a train for a short time. Kay was very nice, polite and knowledgeable of the places mentioned above. She also took my pictures which is very helpful and important to me. Thank you Kay!

We really enjoyed our tour with Masa ( Masatoshi Fujii). We saw many places that would have been difficult for us to see in a short period of time navigating the subway system. He was able to educate us about the culture and the places we visited, as well as photograph us , which was better than selfies!

Our guide, Masa, was very kind, informative and enjoyable. We went to two spots in Tokyo - the Imperial Palace and the Sensoji Temple, both were beautiful in very different ways. Lots of walking but so glad we took this tour.

Belle was out tour guide. She was wonderful. She helped us navigate Kyoto’s back streets and non- touristy areas. She had visuals to further explain the temples. She was also very patient and offered to be our photographer. I would highly book her again.

My tour of Osaka with Yama was fantastic! Yama was very prepared, knew where to go for great pictures, was a wealth of knowledge and overall a great person to spend the day with in Japan. My tour was very welled plan, and I couldn’t have asked for more!! I’d definitely travel again with Yama as my guide!

We had an incredibly informative and interesting tour of Hiroshima with our wonderful guide Yuko. She is so knowledgeable, friendly and proud of her city.

Mr Norio was a wealth of knowledge on the history and details of Himeji Castle and the grounds. We visited the castle and kokoen gardens next door. A rewarding 4 hours. Thank you!

Our guide, Yuka, was fantastic. She was energetic, excited to be showing us around Kyoto and described options to us to let us choose our sites for the day. Ask for her-you will not regret it! Tip-get yen and buy a bus and train pass ahead of time for the day as transportation and attractions only take cash.

We were fortunate to have our walking tour led by Yoshiko Horimasu, a kind and knowledgable longtime resident of Hiroshima. Yoshiko took us to the Hiroshima Castle and provided excellent historical background on that site. She then led us to Peace Memorial Park and described the events of August 6, 1945. Yoshiko even shared her family's tragic story to help us understand how individual families were affected by the atomic bomb. It made our visit to Hiroshima extremely meaningful and memorable. We are very grateful to her for the very moving experience she provided our family.

We were so fortunate and lucky to land an afternoon being shown around Kyoto with the incredible Yoshi Tanizawa. He is an absolute treasure in this beautiful and dynamic city, and an invaluable resource for anyone interested in seeing what Kyoto has to offer. He knew his history, culture, and ways of Japanese life then and now, and with enthusiasm, kindness, gentleness, politeness, and wisdom, he conveyed so much knowledge to us that was enriching, engaging and fascinating. We learned so much, and his English is amazing. He really enhanced our experience and our first time visiting Kyoto, I’m afraid the rest of our trip won’t compare without him. Can’t recommend him enough. An ocean between us, but friends forever, Yoshi! Thanks for being our new favorite friend in Kyoto and the best tour guide.

We had a great day with our guide Andy who showed us all the highlights and beauty of hakone. Andy was knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with.

We completed the 4-hour Osaka tour with Maya. She discussed our requirements beforehand to ensure that we covered the aspects of Osaka that we wanted to see. She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her company. We visited Osaka Castle, Sumiyoshi Taisha & Dotonbori. Thanks Maya - Jo & Jayne.

We booked a 4 hour tour for our family of 4 (me, my husband, my 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter). Our guide was Andy and he was amazing! He contacted me right away after our booking and worked with me to get the perfect itinerary. He was very organized and a great communicator. He was also so very patient with my kids!! I highly recommend getting a guide while in Kyoto, it really adds to the overall experience and gives you great background and insider knowledge. I

I recommend to go to Hiroshima and hire a tour guide to get to know accurate facts about the history in this beautiful place. Our tour guide was Miyuki, and she speaks very fluent english, and knows everything you need to know and more. We had lots of fun with her and learnt a lot.

I had a great day with Masa. We visited some amazing venues, and he explained the significance of each one. He pointed out things that I would not have known on my own and also knew where to take good photos.
