Spend a full day seeing Arashiyama bamboo, Nara deer and Todaiji, then Fushimi Inari torii, with a Kobe shabu-shabu lunch included.

Zen meditation at a Kyoto Zen temple with a guided dry garden walk and a traditional Buddhist lunch, ending near Chishaku-in.

A 7-hour guided Osaka highlights walk with ramen lunch, retro Shinsekai, Kuromon Market bites, and Dotonbori sights, small group.
“The Tour was very interesting and well planned from our guide Taka. He was perfectly prepared (which ticket to but, Best time for what attraction, etc.), knew everything and was very flexible (e.g. when we wanted jump in to 7/11). And he was very friendly and corteous. Perfect day to learn more about Osaka!”
See Hiroshima Peace sites and Miyajima in one day, with a ferry ride, Itsukushima Shrine gate, and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki lunch.
“All ok, kane as our guide that day friendly and explain very well , helpfull too also his assistant and driver I think with that money and also miyajima must use ferry i think free time 1 hour is not enough better 2hours or 2,5hours is more possible to see around bcoz still has more shrines and try many unique food there Definetly need to give mire free time in Miyajima”
Naha to Kerama Islands for guided snorkeling, wetsuits, lunch, hot showers, and digital photos, with chances to spot turtles.
“We had a wonderful day of snorkeling. Our guide talked to us about the coral and the fish. We only went to two locations due to weather but that meant more time in the water! The shuttles were also very convenient. Would definitely recommend!”
Tokyo to Nagano for snow monkeys in hot springs, plus beef sukiyaki lunch, Jigokudani valley views, and a guided coach day trip.
“Our day was awesome and our guide was excellent and very informative. The lunch was delicious and we really enjoyed seeing all the monkeys run around, playing and soaking in the hot springs. It was a long uphill walk and because there was hardened snow on the walking path, it made it harder to walk on, but well worth it once you get to the area.”
A small-group Tokyo sumo workshop with former pros, playful ring time, and a wrestler-made Chanko Nabe lunch in Asakusa or Ryogoku.
“This is must do to anyone travelling to Japan! The food was amazing, the atmosphere they created was unbelievable and it was great to hear from retired sumo wrestlers. They made sure everyone in the audience was included and allowed adequate time.”
A 10-hour Nagoya day trip that pairs Takayama Old Town with UNESCO Shirakawa-go, plus optional lunch at Koshiyama.
“Alberto was great! Both towns were fantastic! The only downside was that it was hot on the bus. The AC on the bus full of people did not work very well. 4 hours of bus travel and it would have been nicer to have been able to cool down after walking all day.”
Osaka or Kyoto day trip to Amanohashidate and Miyama. Boat cruise, cable car views, thatched village, and a filling lunch set.
“Our guide Nick was very informative organised very entertaining and funny ..Nick made it such a great day on top of the tours highlights … I’d recommend this tour and hope you get our guide Nick who is very very helpful with any questions and has great recommendations for places to see and eat .”
A 3-hour Tsukiji morning mixing seafood tastings, a temple visit, shrine stops, and a sit-down donburi lunch with city views at the end.
“My tour was great! My wife and I enjoyed Kentake and his expertise with guiding us through our tour! My wife and I got lucky to have Kentake to guide us and to pass some knowledge about Japan. Thank you Kentake!!”
Walk Osaka highlights with an English guide, ramen lunch, Kuromon Market street food, and iconic Dotonbori and Castle views.
“When I first booked this experience I was under the impression that all travel fare and tickets for activities would be covered in the price of the experience. I came to learn during the outing that nothing but the ramen lunch was covered and there were quite a few things to be paid for during this experience. On top of that I saw also everything this experience ended up covering the day before on my own making the whole trip unnecessary. The guide was very kind and offered to take photos for you if you wanted.”
One day by hybrid bus with an English guide, Meiji-Jingu, Odaiba, Asakusa, Skytree, plus a buffet lunch and Tembo Deck ticket.
“Saikisan did an excellent job of showing the sights and history of this beautiful city. Highly recommend going on this tour!”

“Definitely the highlight of my trip to Osaka. Ayaka, our beautiful guide, planned absolutely everything in detail so we could enjoyed every second of the tour. So happy I booked this tour... couldn't stop smiling while cycling alongside the river and on our way to the castle. Highly recommended!!! 🩵”
