This was our first international family…
This was our first international family holiday and Jayesh made the whole trip seamless with quite a few fantastic surprises along the way, notably (for me at least) was our stay at the Grand Nikko on Awaji Island!
Every connection was spot on an we only made one small timetable change for a Shinkansen trip and the 24hr help line was flawless! Great service!
5 ⭐️ When asked about our trip I will always mention Jayesh from Inside Japan and will recommend your services!
Thank you for making this holiday a lifetime experience!
Inside Jspan : Hidden Japan Tour
Tour guide was excellent and visit to sites off the typical tourist attractions very interesting
Amazing tour guide who was…
Amazing tour guide who was knowledgeable about all aspects of Japan - history, culture, Buddhism, Shinto, gardens and the arts - and who ensured a safe and hassle free experience. A varied and well planned tour with great hotels and many highlights meeting all my expectations - I loved every minute of it! An experience of a life time!
Once in a lifetime trip.
This was an amazing experience with a small group, highly knowledgeable guide and visits to places off the beaten track. Absolutely top tier service from beginning to end.
great company that can adapt to Japan travel even if you have been there before
able to split our trip into two separate portions-one self guided and one set by inside Japan; worked out perfectly; Joseph was fantastic to work with and gave us helpful insights on areas he had lived in that really worked. Hit Sakura at peak in many areas; required 2 phone consults while in country and got quick results--one was our car rental when we didn't have the needed voucher. I would definitely use again
Brilliant!
We have just come back from "Majestic Japan'. We are a 70ish year old couple. Our guide was Hanan. There are few words to adequately describe her guiding skills. She was fun, organised, informative and we all loved her. On her watch, no one was late, no-one felt that they had missed out. She had a very mixed age group 20-75 and all of us were appropriately entertained!! Her linguistic skills are immense.
Japan, itself, was a great country to visit. There were sights a plenty, but it was seeing the lovely people, kind, polite and sooo tidy (no litter or graffiti)that lifted the experience.
If we had any gripes, it might be that there was too much time leeway for reaching stations etc and too much time allocated to lunch. We had such splendid breakfasts!
Hotels were very comfortable and , mostly, well placed. Tokyo Shangri-la is the most sumptuous hotel that I have ever visited, with amazing artwork and glass chandeliers.
We just returned from Majestic Japan…
We just returned from Majestic Japan (May 2026). The choice of hotels, transportation, restaurants and itinerary stops were everything we hoped for and more. Our group had 9 wonderful people ranging in age from 20 to 74 - all melding together under the care of our wonderful and caring guide Hanna. The trip advertises as a Superior experience and totally delivers on the promise in terms of hospitality, Japanese experience and Guide quality. Hanna is extraordinary and special. Thank you Hanna and Inside Japan for memories of a lifetime. Steve S
Outstanding organisation of our trip
Outstanding organisation of our trip, with the itinerary providing all the information we needed to get to the places we wanted to get to. Very helpful staff answered all our questions we had before the trip, so we were well prepared. We had an amazing time - thank you Inside Japan for all your help and superb Customer Service!
Outstanding tour guide and…
Outstanding tour guide and accommodations. Lots of history and sights seen.
Everything was done well
Everything was done well. The accommodations were great. Fergal our guide was fantastic. The food was great transportation was easy. We felt like we saw many of Japan’s greatest highlights.
Above and beyond
The logistics worked smoothly, the site suggestions were spot on. We never could have arranged this visit on our own. And the level of service was high: a sweater with sentimental value was retrieved and shipped back to us in the states. Above and beyond
Wonderful Experience
We had a wonderful experience with Inside Japan Tours for our first trip to Japan. We chose a self guided tour and everything was fantastically organised.
Fully recommended.
Top to bottom this tour company…
Top to bottom this tour company delivers. Amazing customer service. Steve Parker was an amazing guide giving us culturally appropriate suggestions as well as eco-friendly. See Japan from an insiders lens. I cannot wait to book another trip with them.

Inside Japan
It was so well organised. All our requests were taken into account. Accommodation was perfect. All our train tickets were in a packet on our arrival. There was so much supporting information. Everything was detailed and exact. We had the perfect trip without any hitches. Perfectly planned. Would definitely recommend
As noted above Airport arrival was poor due to the 3rd party company Green Tomato Airport arrival/transportation was a…
Airport arrival/transportation was a rather iffy.Due to 3rd party - Green Tomato transport Co taking on unscheduled customers who made late minute arrangements then arrived late. - Shame on Green Tomato Co . Every other part of our trip was excellent and exactly as planned without any undue pressure We were a small international group of 5 couples + 2 solo travellers plus our guide. Although we had a tight 14 day schedule there was plenty of flexibility within that schedule for time off to individual activates. Inside Japan Co provided first class arrangements for a fair price from the very beginning of the booking process to final departure at NRT airport.
Exceptional Service
We cannot recommend Chloe highly enough for her outstanding service as a travel agent. Chloe organised a beautiful trip to Japan for my husband and me, and every detail was thoughtfully planned to suit exactly what we wanted.
From the accommodation choices to the itinerary, transport, and experiences, Chloe listened carefully to our preferences and created a seamless, stress-free holiday that exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire process enjoyable and exciting from beginning to end. Thank you Chloe!
The guide we had was wonderful
The guide we had was wonderful. The company put together a personal and part private tour for us and our fellow travelers. We highly recommend this company for any private tours or for a group.
