InsideJapan Tours Omdömen 

Antonio was an excellent guide and made our first experience in Japan exceptional.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Japan! We appreciated the support and responsiveness of the service. Special thanks to Joseph Galica for helping us plan our trip.

Locations, Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Kanazawa.

Tokyo hotel location was excellent very close to Senso-Ji temple. The Sanja Festival took place whilst we were in Asakusa which meant roads were closed for parades and the area was very busy. However we really enjoyed the parades and were so glad we were there to see it.
It would have been very useful to have been made aware of the festival prior to our arrival as road closures impacted on how we left our hotel and got to the station for our transfer to Hakone.
Guides in Tokyo were excellent.
Hakone - The Hakone Freepass was such an excellent choice.
We used the train, ropeway, cable car and ship and had a wonderful time. We also had some fabulous views of Mount Fuji.
As older visitors we found the hotel location disappointing we felt a little stranded as transport was needed to go anywhere. We do like to be able to have a walk.
Kyoto- very busy and similar to Tokyo.
This was our least popular stop because it was so busy. Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent English.
Kanazawa - favourite stop.
Once again our guide was excellent.
We had a wonderful informative tour of Kenrokuen Castle and Kenrokuen gardens followed by a stop for some Matcha tea.
We loved everything about Kanazawa including the hotel and its location near the fish and food market.
Our last day was in Tokyo for an overnight stay prior to
Our flight home.
We were unhappy with the location of this hotel.
We were on floor 54 and whilst there were views of trains and skyscrapers, the hotel bedroom was very small and cramped.
The restaurant however is excellent.
There was nowhere to easily walk nor any local shops that were open which made our last day disappointing.
However, having said all of the above I would highly recommend a trip to Japan.
The people are warm, kind and helpful, the food is excellent and the culture is both traditional and fascinating.

Everything was covered and well explained, and the various stop overs where just great

was the best holiday i have ever had. Cammy our tour leader was magnificent and everything was perfect. Her organisation and knowledge skills surpass excellent. I would recommend anyone to do this trip

This was a great first visit to the culture and geography of Japan. I hope to go again someday.

Attention to detail was great. Hotel were very good and were located perfectly for the areas we wished to visit. All of the places/hotels/tours that Inside Japan prepared for us were aware of my wife's Gluten Free needs and they accommodated us as best they were able.

The itinerary was perfect allowing us to experience an overview of city life in Japan and rural life also. The pre-tour service and information was excellent. The tour guide Neil, was excellent.

Nick was fabulous. Enjoyed every day and every city . Your tour is great . I am recommending you to all my friends And family

IJ helped with the planning, giving us insight and suggesting some really good ideas.
The activities and tours booked were all excellent and of the highest quality.
I had a few queries whilst we were away and my emails were answered very quickly.
Hotels, Wi-Fi, train tickets. Everything ran so smoothly.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We had a customized itinerary for a 3 week visit to Japan, including 1 week in Hokkaido. The level of detail was truly amazing! The package had everything we needed - accomodations, guides, recommendations and all tickets for transportation. All the planning was done with the representative of InsideJapan.
The local guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant.
All plans are subject to last minute, unforeseen glitches. This is where the local team 'shone' giving instant 24x7 support for any issues that arose. I have no hesitation on recommending this company to anyone wishing to optimize their time spent in Japan and getting the most out of the trip.

I have travelled with Inside Japan twice, and each time they have gone above and beyond to make the trips special for me and my family.

First we started the booking process in 2019, and world events stopped us from travelling for another few years. We ended up being able to put the money we had paid forward into our next trip in early 2024.

Next I took my sister for our birthdays in May 2026, and while we had one small hiccup with our internet packet being delivered to another location, they were very proactive in solving that issue and compensating us for the time it took to fix.

Overall, the staff have been lovely, they have amazing knowledge of the locations they send you to, and they are very prompt with their communication. I would highly recommend booking with them, whether you’re a first time traveller or experienced.

I recently returned from a solo trip arranged by Inside Japan and would highly recommend them. I spoke with my consultant, Bobbi several times and corresponded through email frequently, fine tuning what I was looking to experience and how much I wanted to spend. I couldn’t have asked for a more engaging, well planned and informative trip. Every detail was considered, the travel tickets and explanations were clear and help was always available in Japan, so I never truly felt alone. It was one of my most memorable and enjoyable trips thanks to Inside Japan. 5 stars isn’t enough!

Inside Japan put together a wonderful varied itinerary for us and our grown children and partners. Everything went smoothly and the support team in Japan always responded very quickly to any queries we had. Great trip. Thanks Jess!

Inside Japan Tours arranged another excellent trip for us this spring. The trip was exactly what we wanted. Very professional and helpful service from initial contact with the company to the time we left Japan. They were quick to respond to emails and requests I sent during the trip as well. We'll definitely be booking our next trip to Japan with them again. Thank you, Inside Japan Tours!

It was my first time in Japan with my three (adult) children. I am Dutch but found out that Inside Japan Travel had a great reputation. The preparation was carefully done on the basis of our desires. Once there every little detail was taken care of including a physical guide with QR codes for further deepdives. Immaculate organisation, a local based helpdesk and absolute top private guides. I would recommend Inside Japan Travel to anybody who wants to make the most out of their trip to this magic country.

The staff were very helpful throughout the entire period. From booking to the end of my trip I felt comforted and reassured that I was being looked after and I could reach out to them at any point in time if I had any queries or concerns.

Everything from start to finish was easy and worth the investment of time and money. We traveled on our own as a family of three, but with our customized itinerary and infopack, it was an amazing trip. Everything worked just as our tour coordinator described, from having our train tickets delivered to our first hotel, to meeting up with a handful of tour guides along the way. If you’re on the fence, you should definitely choose this company!

Excellent organization. No slips, no problems. Local guides were well informed and very helpful.

Worked closely with Jenny Yoakum in the planning of this solo trip to Tohoku.
We had specific ideas and she had personal experience that we blended to make an excellent itinerary
