Made to measure

Most tours hand you a schedule. We hand you a person.

You get one local guide, all to yourself, who plans the day around your pace and your interests — then happily throws the plan out the window if you’d rather stay another hour at that little sake shop. Lingered over lunch? The afternoon reshuffles. Tired? We slow down. This is your day; we just know Japan well enough to make it effortless.

How it works

Three steps to a day you’ll remember

  1. 1

    Tell us your dream day

    One short form — your dates, who’s coming, and what excites you. Two minutes, no account, no payment.

  2. 2

    Meet your guide & plan

    Within 48 hours we introduce a matched local guide, a custom day and a clear quote. Tweak anything before you commit.

  3. 3

    Live it, your way

    Your guide meets you at your hotel or station, and the day unfolds. The plan is a starting line — say the word and it changes.

Day tours

Choose a starting point

Every day is fully customised, so these are ideas rather than set menus. Open any tour to see a sample itinerary — then we tailor it to you.

How pricing works

Priced by the group, not the head

  • City day tours — from ¥112,000 / 10 hours. Covers up to 5 guests; +¥7,000 per extra guest.
  • Nikko & Takayama — from ¥126,000 / 10 hours. Same terms, a little further out.
  • Private-vehicle tours — ¥322,000 / 10 hours. Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Shirakawago & Nagano, by Alphard-class vehicle. Groups of 6–8: ¥392,000.

Your tour is fully private. Guide, day-planning and photo support are included; your own transport, meals and entrance fees are not — though we can bundle entrance tickets into your final quote once the plan is set. You get a firm quote within 48 hours and pay nothing until you approve it.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Is it really private — just our group?

Always. You never share your guide with strangers. Your family, your friends, your pace.

When do we pay?

Nothing upfront. You get a clear quote with your guide match and pay only once you’ve approved the plan.

What if it rains?

Your guide reshapes the day on the fly — indoor gems, covered arcades, a museum you’d have loved anyway. That flexibility is the whole point of not being locked to a package.

Can you handle dietary needs?

Yes — vegetarian, vegan, halal, allergies. Tell us in the form and your guide plans around it.

Can a day tour be customised beyond the sample itinerary?

That’s the idea. Swap stops, combine regions, add an anime-location pilgrimage — just tell us and we’ll build it.
