Past and present insights into Japanese culture.
Hideaki Wada was a kind, funny, knowledgeable guide. He was also very good in helping me solve some train issues I had. He gave us some wonderful insights as to how Japan’s cultural history is affecting present day culture and its issues and customs. He was also game to go off the beaten path to find a spider sculpture we were interested in. His fun and love nd nature made our day in Tokyo fun and enlightening.

Hiroshima in a day!
An amazing experience. Our guide Mari was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything Hiroshima had to offer. It is always great to learn about a city from someone who was born and raised there. She provided us with so much information about everything we saw and even gave us a lesson in origami. I would highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get Mari as your guide, you will not be disappointed.

The tour was excellent our guide Mie picked us up at our hotel and we went from there. She was very well versed in every sight we went to. She was also very nice and helpful with getting us around and finding good place to eat lunch. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the main sights of Kyoto.

Highly recommend
I highly recommend this. Tom was an insightful and very knowledgeable tour guide. There are tour guides and there are tour guides who are passionate about history and tom belongs to the latter and its infectious. Because of him, i have deeper understanding and appreciation of japanese culture and history. Having tom as a tour guide is like having a good friend show you their city. I wish every tour guide could be like him.

Kick Ass Osaka Tour
We really appreciated our Guide Sam’s perspective and insights, especially as a non-native. We toured famous city highlights but also niche interests like a privately owned pinball arcade and Hotel 24. Sam had a great sense of humor and was quite entertaining. We highly recommend this tour!

Tokyo Walking Tour is a must
This is a great way to explore Tokyo on a first day in the city to get a lay of the land, figure out the trains in a non-threatening way, and get recommendations on other places to visit. Leo was an amazing guide who was professional and knowledgeable about the city. We got to see and experience most of the “must-see” places, but the guide was flexible to make changes based on our needs/ wants as well. The 6-hour walking tour seemed to be the perfect length for us.

Super duper guide!
This was the absolute right decision. We also won the lottery.with Kiyoshi. He was knowledgeable, wise, at the right pace to our day, and a consummate gentleman. He honored all of our requests and made many excellent additional selections. Completely worth it. Also a great selection of taxis and trains. Great lunch selection, also. All around, a 10 out of 10.

Local Tour with Junko
Our guide Junko did a wonderful job. She explained about the differences between the temples and shrines and the sacredness of each. Junko was very knowledgeable about all of the particulars involved with the local history. We truly enjoyed the day with her and how she assisted in customizing our tour for our needs.

3 days in Kyoto with our excellent guide, Kenta.
Kenta was an outstanding guide. He spoke perfect English because he had lived in the USA. We were lucky to have him for 3 days. Our van and driver were also excellent. Kenta had a vast range of knowledge on many subjects…culture, language, geography, religion, history, etc. He was able to alter our tours as needed and gave excellent options. We expressed some trepidation about our upcoming Shinkansen train ride and he actually went with us to the train station the day before and helped us experience each step we would need to catch our train perfectly. We could not have had a better guide for our 3 days in Kyoto. Arigato, Kenta!

Great Osaka Tour
We did a 4 hour walking tour of Osaka with Maria. She had great communication before our tour through WhatsApp and answered any questions. I asked her to divide the 4 hours between shrines and food and she did an excellent job. I highly recommend anyone visiting Osaka to book her.

Our guide Sayo was...
Our guide Sayo was fabulous, she was very flexible with our plan. Sayo helped us learn about Tokyo and traditions in Japan. She answered any questions openly and helped us learn the area and how to use transport. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teens with diverse taste, Sayo helped guide us on where to go on our following days in Tokyo.
