We had a wonderful half-day with our guide Orya .She was very friendly, informative, and showed us many interesting places and things we didn’t know about. It was my second time in Japan, and I still discovered so many new things thanks to her. Highly recommended!

My guide

My guide, Jaime, was wonderful. He was very fun and informative and I had a great time. He took the time to answer questions and was so energetic and friendly. The sites we saw were amazing and I got to take a lot of pictures. Riding in the van was a nice break from the heat. Overall, I would definitely recommend.

The tour was amazing!

The tour was amazing!! The guide was very informative, and friendly. She always asked how we felt before making a decision, and gave accurate expectations. My group got very lucky with how well we were able to see mt. Fuji. The weather was fantastic. Tourist Japan also did a wonderful job at arranging my tour. I accidentally missed the first tour, and they were able to work around my schedule to get me to the activities I wanted. And my second tour for the fish market was absolutely amazing! Again, the tour guide was great!

Thank you so much, Lynne! We're thrilled Sofia made your trip both relaxing and memorable.

Her deep knowledge and easygoing warmth are exactly what we hope every guest experiences with Tourist Japan. That's at the heart of our private tours: exploring at your own pace with a local guide who can bring Japan's history, culture, and everyday life to life, while tailoring the day around what interests you most. It's about going beyond simply seeing the sights and creating a more personal connection with the places you visit.

We'll make sure Sofia hears how much her guiding meant to you. Thank you for traveling with Tourist Japan. We'd love to welcome you back!

Kyoto & Nara Tour with Jamie

Jamie was a wonderful guide. He taught us so much about Japanese language, culture and history. He encouraged us to speak to locals which was lovely! We saw all the sights of Kyoto and had a good amount of time at each place. We also travelled to Nara which was great! We didn't feel rushed but were able to see so much!

I enjoyed myself on Tokyo walking tour

I enjoyed myself on Tokyo walking tour. Jiro was very professional, nice, and knowledgeable about Japan. He also let the group take a detour to try out the viral " meat box" sandwich, which was nice. It was great seeing different parts of Tokyo like the Shrine, Temples, and the shopping areas. Furthermore, it was nice meeting the other people on the tour, they made the tour that more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Tokyo.

A must do tour of the Tsukiji fish market

This tour of the Tsukiji fish market was one of my all-time favorites. Our guide Jiro and his assistant Miko were friendly, kind and generous. Jiro shared his vast local and historical knowledge and created a memorable experience. And, best of all, we had the opportunity to sample a variety of wonderful food.

Jiro was our tour guide for Tsujiki Fish Market, and he was so personable, kind and extremely knowledgeable and helpful! He gave great tips on where to eat at the fish market and also helped guide us to purchase souvenir knives! We had several great bites that we were not even hungry for lunch, which carried my daughter and I until dinner in Kyoto! Jiro was also extremely helpful in many recommendations for us in Kyoto, that we had an excellent meal that evening as well! Thank you so much Jiro!!
