5.00Ayumu shinohara was our guide. A local who created this tour himself with the intention to show Japan's hidden history and beauty. This entire tour really encapsulated Japan's elegeance, not to mention our tour guide was wxtremely understand and professional. My brother and I were thoroughly happy,especially with the potato sake 🍶. Near the end of the tour you have the option to go in the onsen (public bath) or just a foot bath. We chose just the foot bath which was refreshing and peaceful. Give this tour a try if you enjoy history and depth 👍

5.00This was THE PERFECT getaway from the concrete jungle into Japan’s DEVINE nature… Not only was this a very well thought out & curated trip by its wonderful creator, driver & guide (Ayumu), but it also allowed us to see Japan through a total different lens: showcasing its cultural values and the best part seeing GODs architecture at its best! 1000% worth the travel time to/from with the hotel pick up & drop off option (it is a very long day so you will appreciate the convenience of being picked up & dropped off)!
Amazing 10/10!

5.00⸻ We wanted to take a day trip around Tokyo, and we’re so glad we chose this tour! Ayumu-san took us on a breathtaking mountain and river scenic route that regular buses can’t access. He showed us hidden local photo spots while expertly navigating narrow country roads. The entire experience was amazing. Although we couldn’t visit the old historic house due to recent landslides in the area, Ayumu-san took us to a museum instead. Lunch was fantastic — a traditional Japanese kamameshi meal that was very tasty. The Japanese spritz and shochu tasting was a fun experience for my husband. To end the tour, he brought us to an onsen, where our 18-year-old daughter experienced her first time in a hot spring. My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing foot bath since we have tattoos. It was such a personalized and unforgettable trip! Most of the places we visited were frequented by locals — we hardly saw any other foreigners. If you want a unique and memorable experience, you must choose this tour. Highly recommended!
Caves! Waterfalls! Nature!

5.00If you are looking to get outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect experience! Ayumu picked me up from my hotel (and we picked up some other travellers in his car) and then we drove out of the city and into the mountains and villages. The highlights of this trip was seeing the beauty of nature and the picturesque scenery. You get to walk inside a cave (bring a jacket, even in Summer the inside of the cave is chilly) and also walk along/climb the side of a mini waterfall (remember to hold the metal chains). Ayumu was very patient and also shared some insights into the area. Please note that some of the areas are far from one another, but you can enjoy the mountain scenery or take a rest in the car). Also, take the time to have a chat with Ayumu! I enjoyed talking to him about what he does during his own free time and his interests. Great trip and definitely an experience like no other!
Ayumu is very patient and...

5.00Ayumu is very patient and flexible. I highly recommend this tour. We saw a huge cave system, went to a gorgeous lookout for lunch with authentic food (and we got to keep the bowls!), saw a traditional 350 year old house, did a mini obstacle course to get to a local viewpoint, saw a waterfall, and went to an onsen. This tour is great value for money, and it definitely has hidden gems. 5/5
