Overview

This is a customised tour for you (approx. 2.5-3hs) and is suitable for tourists who enjoy exploring or are interested in Japanese culture, history and food. I’ll make your course following your interests. Please let me know your requests. I need to discuss your course so be sure to check the emails from me! When communication seems impossible, you may be asked to cancel your booking. Please understand. Course examples, PLAN 1 Explore traditional Japanese sites in a greenery park@Ueno Park+Nezu (could be the walking tour). PLAN 2 Visit a local shrine and a temple@Monzen-nakacho+α. You can see a big Buddhist statue and a unique Buddhist ritual in the temple once every hour if you’d like. ETC... If you are interested in art, I recommend adding a museum to your itinerary (total approx. 3-3.5hs).' Even though entering museums is not free in Japan, you can look at Japanese artworks which are quite different in style from Western art.

An awesome experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had the best time with Itsuko! She had done careful planning and custom made little pamphlets for us. She selected some excellent and interesting locations that also kept us out of the heat. She was especially good with my son. Definitely recommend

Amazing tour with a wonderful guide!

Published on Nov, 2023

Itsuko-san was very friendly and knowledgeable about the different places we visited. I had an amazing time touring through temples and shrines and learning the proper way to worship. This was my first time visiting Japan, and I'm very glad to have chosen this tour. Itsuko-san was also really helpful when it comes to navigating public transport. She made it easier to understand for an inexperienced person, like myself. I highly recommend this tour!
