A Christmas Gift to Remember - For Christmas, I planned a trip to Japan as a gift for my children! I wanted to make sure they had the best possible experience, so I booked a tour that included planning and cultural exchanges with Japanese locals. Our guide was incredibly kind and immediately connected with our family. She quickly understood the children’s interests and offered many thoughtful suggestions. We had an amazing time experiencing Japan and made wonderful new friends along the way. I highly recommend it!

A Memorable Trip to Japan - I had a 5-day trip planned with my daughter, and I received excellent assistance in organizing the whole itinerary. As a single father, this was my first time traveling with my daughter. Despite reaching out just a week before the trip, they explained each step clearly and arranged everything for us. What made me happiest during our stay in Japan was seeing so many smiles from my daughter. It will be a while before we can return to Japan, but when we do, I will definitely book this private tour again. With deep respect for our amazing guide, Kei.

My best japan trip!🇯🇵 - I’m really glad I took part in this tour. It was our first family trip, and thanks to the guide and the planning team, we were able to see the highlights of Tokyo in such a short time. They treated me like a friend throughout the tour. Most importantly, I’m happy to have made Japanese friends. When they visit my home country, I’d love to show them around. I’d give this tour 10 stars!

Customized tour with fashion and food - This private tour was a wonderful experience to fully enjoy Tokyo's fashion and gourmet food. Our guide, Riko, was very kind and suggested a course that suited my tastes.
First, on the fashion side, I was really excited to be able to visit the latest shops in Shibuya, Omotesando, and Harajuku, checking out local designers and exclusive items. I was able to experience Japan's unique street fashion and simple, elegant designs, and was able to reaffirm the appeal of shopping that can't be experienced anywhere else.
Next, for the gourmet part, we visited hidden gems and locally acclaimed restaurants. The fresh sushi, the exquisite ramen, and even the Japanese sweets were all delicious beyond my expectations. The guide also explained the background of the dishes and food culture in detail, so we were able to enjoy the meal even more.
Overall, it was a very fulfilling day as we not only visited famous tourist spots but also got to experience the local culture. These private tours are attractive because they can be arranged to suit your personal needs, allowing you to have an experience that is a little different from other tourists. Also, I would like to participate next time!

Travel like a local - I had the privilege of taking a private tour through Tokyo, and it was truly something special. My guide, Ran, shared so much knowledge about the history and culture of the city, helping me understand a side of Tokyo that's not always visible to those on typical sightseeing routes.
What stood out most was how we got to walk through a quiet neighborhood, tasting delicious local food, far away from the usual crowds of tourists. The tour felt very personal and flexible—Ran allowed me to explore at my own pace, which made it Even more enjoyable.
As we wandered through the city, we spoke about Tokyo's cityscape and its rich history, and it felt like I was spending time with an old friend who truly knew the land. The depth of Ran's knowledge made the experience even more meaningful, and it turned an ordinary day into something extraordinary.
I'm so glad I chose this tour—it gave me a true taste of Tokyo, the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.
Big thanks to Ran for making it all happen. It was a journey I’ll never forget.

A great way to get to know Tokyo - Ran was the best guide! She created an itinerary with us in advance, including all details and layover/meal costs, and gave us very helpful advice before leaving for Japan. Even on a heavy rainy day, our tour was perfect. We wanted to experience touching animals, go to places that appeared in anime, and eat delicious sushi. I saw and followed everything on the itinerary.
Wherever you are, you will be happy to have Ran as your guide. Thank you so much, Ran!

The first day of a perfect trip - We arrived in Tokyo for the first time last night.
The guide met us in front of the hotel and gave us a brief explanation and self-introduction since we were not familiar with transportation or Tokyo. Our guide, Ran, was easy to get along with and was with us every step of the way. She was very friendly and helpful. They carefully explained to us all the information we needed to know on the first day, and we were able to gain useful knowledge for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend this tour, which catered to our needs and made it the perfect experience. You'll have a stress-free experience and be a happier traveler.

Great introduction to Tokyo and Japanese friends - Taka was a great guide. To be honest, we had more fun talking to him than the sites we looked at. He's 21 years old, but you wouldn't know it! It was my first time going to Tokyo. This tour allowed us to see sights, take trains, eat some of the best sushi and ramen I've ever had, and make friends. Highly recommended. It's an easy way to enjoy Tokyo to the fullest. I sincerely hope to meet him again somewhere. If you are busy and have difficulty planning your itinerary, we highly recommend making reservations. He arranges everything.
