What are people saying about Japan

Noe_C, Jul 2026

Great tour with Kahori!

We had an amazing time on our 6-hour private tour with Kahori! She was so knowledgeable, sweet, and patient with our group. Our driver, Tamae, was safe and efficient, even showing us some extra sights along the way. Kahori contacted us a few days in advance to plan an itinerary that fit our needs and the sights we wanted to see. We started at the Meiji Jingu Shrine, then the Imperial Palace, then the Tsukiji Fish Market, and we ended at Yanaka Ginza. Kahori had engaging and relevant historical and cultural information for each site (she even carried an iPad with really helpful visual aids). At the Tsukiji Market she helped us find which shops to go to for lunch and explained all of the different types of food (we ended up having our favorite sushi from our entire trip from her recommendation!). She was really attentive to the needs of our group, always checking in if we needed more time and making sure we got to see everything we wanted to see. I would absolutely recommend a tour with Kahori!

Late Night Lights

The drop off directions were a little confusing for our taxi driver, but he parked his car and walked with us until we found the right place. We loved his extra effort! We took the last cruise of the day and were so glad we did, all the bright lights were amazing at this time of night. Great experience!

Tokyo Private Tour by Vehicle with English-Speaking Chauffeur

Nina_B, Jul 2026

Flawless experience, just book it!

This was the perfect way to explore Tokyo in comfort while escaping the summer heat. Our chauffeur was friendly, professional, and flexible, making the day completely stress free. We were able to see so much more than we could have on our own, and the information we received, not just about the sights but also about Japan, its culture, history, and everyday life made the tour even more enjoyable. The vehicle was spotless and incredibly comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a private tour of Tokyo!

Mt. Fuji, Chureito Pagoda & Lake Kawaguchiko Day Tour from Tokyo

Margaret_B, May 2026

Highly recommend this tour to see Mt Fuji and surrounding sites!

This was our favorite day in our two week trip to Japan! It was amazing to see the more rural side of Japan. The spots on the tour offer wonderful views of Mt Fuji. We couldn’t see much of the mountain but it still was a wonderful day! We did the lunch option with a hot pot and it was a fun experience. Our tour guide Eric was great! He offered good tips and was a fun tour guide.

Spectacular Mt. Fuji and Lake Cruise, Noodles Making Experience

Jodi_A, May 2026

Excellent Tour!

We had such a wonderful experience on this tour. Meg was spectacular and really cared deeply about every member of the tour that day. You get to do a lot of things and see a lot of things in one day, but it is very rushed and certainly not for people who have mobility issues or need extra time since you have to move quickly at every stop to be able to meet the tight schedule demands. Overall, a fantastic tour!

Tomomi is an excellent local guide who maneuvers around the interests of the guests and any needs that may arise. She and our driver Toshi who is an experienced driver navigated many hidden venues to capture a view of Mt. Fuji, a local sake brewery and an excellent local winery. Many thanks to them for an excellent day despite the rain.

Tokyo Japanese Dance Cabaret Show Asakusa-Kaguwa

Sacita_D, Apr 2026

A Must-See for Families!

Our group (ages 10 to 20) absolutely loved this show! It’s an intimate, immersive experience where the performers engage directly with the audience. The storytelling is a fantastic mix of traditional Japanese dance and high-energy pop/techno. The customer service was top-tier—they called an hour before to confirm our arrival, gave us incredible seats, and were incredibly gracious when half our group arrived late. We felt so welcomed. My 10-year-old even called it his favorite part of our entire Japan trip! Note on tipping: While we heard tipping isn’t common in Japan, you actually can tip your favorite dancer here. They were all so talented it was hard to pick just one! Highly recommend adding this to your Tokyo itinerary.
