Working with Yoko and Xavier was a wonderful experience and made our trip to Japan so much more meaningful. I took my two teenage sons (and a friend) as a graduation present and traveling as a single mother, I was very nervous before the trip. Xavier was responsive to all of my questions, helped us build the perfect itinerary with everything we wanted to see (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima), and was such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Once we landed in Japan, I was in as much contact with Yoko as I needed and their guides were amazing! They helped us feel comfortable exploring on our own and showed us so many things that we would have never experienced without them. I highly recommend Private Tours Japan. When we return (there is so much more to explore) we will definitely be contacting Yoko and Xavier to help us!

Perfect tour company. Xavier and Yoko planned 9 day/8 nights tour of Tokyo/Kanazawa/Kyoto/Osaka. They mapped out all of the trains/drivers/guides and worked with them over email for hotels/activities. Some highlights were visiting multiple distilleries/sake/Samurai exhibition with the "Kill Bill" choreographer, Shibuya Sky, Fish Market, Kappabashi Street for high end knife shopping. We had guides at all of the cities and for a first time trip made everything very smooth. There is really so much to do and they were excellent partners in this. They even created our own website to show the daily plan. We didn't have to do much except wake-up and get ready to go! FIVE STAR!!

Yoko-san was a phenomenal tour guide! She truly catered to my your adult sons' interests - from food to everything in between. Most importantly, she is such pleasant company - she was very patient with my old-lady knees but got us to walk through awesome tour spots - and local spots too! I actually would say the best part of the tours are the places were the non-"touristy" places - especially the food places. I would definitely keep Yoko-san's contact information with me as for sure, there are still a LOT to see!

We had a great tour with all the highlights of Tokyo. Yoko taught us how to navigate Tokyo on public transportation. It was so easy to do(with her help). Thank you Yoko for a great day in Tokyo!
