This plan is recommended for those who have too much time left for returning flights or connecting flights, or for those who have just arrived in Japan. The area around Narita Airport has a peaceful rural landscape, but there are many attractive tourist spots. At the Aeronautical Science Museum, you can not only learn about the mechanism of airplanes, but also enjoy the world's largest model operation experience. Mt. Narita, which you will visit in the second half of the tour, is a popular spot with a history of over 1000 years. The gorgeous Buddhist architecture of Mt. Narita Shinshoji Temple, visited by 10 million people every year, is worth to visit. Let's enjoy a little time.

Yoshi was a great tour guide. He tells a lot of stories and takes you to your desired places and then some. We went to the National Gardens, stopped to say hi to Hachiko, and went to the Chiku Chiku Cafe. The Hedgehogs were so cute! They're usually nocturnal and the one I was visiting, Butter, was really tired and wanted to sleep so I only took a couple pictures and let him rest the rest of the time :) Take care Yoshi! Hope you have more fun adventures

Join fellow adventurous baseball fans September 12-19 as we attend games at all five Tokyo-area ballparks of Nippon Professional Baseball, Japan's major leagues. We have been operating baseball tours in Japan since 1999 and believe that the best way to experience a new culture is by attending a sporting event. You'll feel like a local as we take the train to the ballpark and cheer along with the home team's frenzied fans. And you will have the option to attend a professional sumo wrestling tournament too! Taking in a game in Japan, where baseball is the national sport, is an unforgettable experience. You recognize the field - the green grass, the dimensions, the outfield wall - but that's about it! The rabid fans and unique style of play make attending a baseball game a not-to-be-missed experience for any visitor to Japan. NOTE: Dates are not flexible. We are only offering one tour that starts September and ends September 19.

Inclusions: Dinner, Lunch, Baseball Game Tickets for Five (5) Games, Accommodation - Hotel for Seven (7) Nights, Transportation to and from all official tour activities.

Exclusions: Airfare to and from Japan

I've used them four different times to get tickets to baseball games before I went to Japan. They have the tickets waiting for you at your hotel when you get to Japan. Always worked perfectly, excellent seats, great maps and helpful instructions included.

Let us know what you would like to experience, and we will customize a six-hour tour that's best for you!

Note*2: The Nationally-licensed Tour Guide-Interpreter certification is issued by the Japanese government requires a good knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture and history.

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

Historic boat rides and world famous festival floats in Little Edo. Sawara, an area in Chiba, is little known, even to the Japanese. It offers beautiful townscapes of buildings of over 100 years old and the atmosphere of Japan from 200 years ago. Its local festival, the Grand Festival of Sawara, is inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List. Enjoy a quiet boat ride down Ono River that runs through the city center and stroll around the old town of Little Edo that will make you feel as if you have slipped back in time to the Edo period (1603-1868). With great access from the airport, this tour is highly recommended if you are flying into or out of Narita Airport! If you are in the area, Sawara is truly worth a visit.

Exclusions: Travel expenses and entrance fees for your own, Money for food/drinks, souvenirs and extra activities for your own, Hotel pick-up and drop-off, The use of private van

Narita airport has lots of international flights, so you might use the airport. But Narita is a bit far from center of Tokyo. If you have hours for transit or layover, how about strolling around Narita and explore local Japan?  At Narita, there is a big Naritasan Shinshoji temple which has over 1,000 years history. In front of that temple, there is 800m long street called Omotesando. Let's walk and find Japanese local culture and food! (It's private tour, so we could change your itinerary based on your request.)

Inclusions: Professional and friendly guide

Exclusions: Entrance fees(If it is required, for you and guide), Food and drinks, Transportation fee(you and guide)

My husband and 2 sons (ages 11 and 13) loved our virtual tour of Tokyo. Nino was a fantastic guide and filled the hour with historical, cultural and fun facts! She was able to keep all of us at all ages engaged. It was a welcome diversion for this time of no-travel and very few experiences in the world because of the pandemic. We all can't wait to book our trip when the time allows!

If you are the type of person who prefers a local experience vs seeing a hoard of tourists, and you enjoy riding a bike, this this is your best intro to Japan, other than passing a temple with a lot of tourists on the bikes, it was “locals only” .
