This tour was absolutely...
This tour was absolutely FANTASTIC! Renaud was super knowledgable and helped me understand the history and culture of all the places we visited. On top of that, he customized the day's activities to make sure we hit everything I wanted to see. I truly can't recommend him enough!

Awesome day at Gokyama and Shirakawa-go UNESCO sites
Awesome tour of Gokyama and Shirakawa-go! Loved that information was provided on the bus and we could be on our own schedule to explore these villages. The lunch provided was the best I’ve ever had on a bus tour! Our bus to catch the tour was delayed and we really appreciated that our guides waited 5 minutes for us. Thanks for an awesome day!

Great tour at amazing locations
Had a really good day with this tour. It was quite a big group so a bit skeptical at first but it meant that we could explore at our leisure and do the things we like.
Yuki, our guide, as well as the two drivers were great as well. Very hospitable and informative.
The only downside is that we could either eat really early at the first stop or quite late at the last stop so at the first one we weren't hungry yet but then starving by the time we reached the island.

Great Tour!
The itinerary is great. The tour guide was a charming, knowledgeable and professional individual who gave the tour in English and Spanish without missing a single thing. The only problem is it rained the entire day, so there were things we just couldn’t see because of the clouds, fog and rain. However, our guide made sure we saw everything that we could see. Admire his effort and professionalism.

A perfect day in Hiroshima and Miyajima
Very well-organized tour. Our tour guide Tomo T was very knowledgeable, an excellent English speaker, and went with us on every stop. She was explaining everything with history and connecting with every passenger in bus. She planned the time very wisely. We were able to see and feel the spirituality of the place. Excellent tour guide.

Great day trip from Tokyo
Had a lovely experience. The guide, Mai-san was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with fun facts about Japan, it's history and culture. Just the right amount of walking around considering we only arrived the night before and still very tired and jetlagged.
Uchida-San, the driver, was great as well as he navigated through the mountain road with ease.
We came the right day as there was a festival on the day so saw some of the procession. The waterfall left a lot to be desired since it's not rainy season but all in all, had a really great day.

Absolutely amazing experience
This tour was fantastic value and the staff left an excellent impression on me. The sites we visited were fantastic, the itinerary was clearly laid out, and the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. They were also knowledgeable not just of the places we went but of Japan/Japanese culture as well, and were super fun to talk to!

Thank you Den for a great tour!
My husband and I did the full day tour with Den and loved seeing all the sites in Nara Park and Uji.
Den was lovely, kind and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and was very patient with us. The temples, the shrine, feeding the deer, the delicious traditional Japanese lunch and the matcha tea ceremony were highlights of our time in Japan. I do have some recommendations to make the tour smoother: the coordinates on the app lead us to the back of the building. Just Google the Tully coffee house location for a less confusing map. Den was very good about giving an overview of our day, however, the map she used was not to scale and Nara Park is quite large and the crowds made it hard to navigate at times. We missed our meeting point and were lost for about an hour. The phone number provided for support did not work, but we were able to quickly communicate with the company via text messages on the app. It would have helped if we had specific pre-arranged ranged meeting times and locations so when we did get separated, we knew where next to be. Also, when we were walking next to Den, we got great information, but it was otherwise hard to hear her in the crowded streets. On the bus, she gave great explanations. Overall, we would recommend this full day tour!

A Beautiful Journey Through the Japanese Alps
This one-day tour from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go and Takayama was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip through Japan.
The journey itself is part of the pleasure, travelling through the dramatic landscapes of the Japanese Alps before arriving at the remarkable village of Shirakawa-go. The traditional gassho-zukuri houses, surrounded by mountains, create a scene that feels almost timeless.
Takayama offers a different charm. Its beautifully preserved old town, wooden merchant houses, sake breweries and small shops provide a wonderful glimpse into historic Japan.
The tour was very well organised, the coach comfortable, and the guide professional and attentive. The schedule allowed enough time to explore each destination while still keeping the day relaxed.
For travellers staying in Kanazawa, this tour is an excellent way to experience two of central Japan’s most atmospheric places in a single day.

Mt Fuji Trip
Excellent Trip to See Mt. Fuji and surroundings. Betty was fantastic and kept the group on time. She provided cultural significance of the various places we visited and provided clear directions to maximize our time in each place. Highly recommend Betty and this Trip.

Our Day In Kochi
Mihoko was a delight from the beginning, she was easy to communicate with while making our plans for the tour. She was prompt meeting us and was a wonderful guide because she was very knowledgeable about Kochi. She was accommodating when we kept changing our plans. We were a group of six people and we all give her 5 stars. Thank you Mihoko for a great day.
