Tour of Tokyo and Mt Fuji with family

5.00Our days in Tokyo with Jupiter and Miyu were filled with fun! They took us beyond the typical tourist spots to find incredible hidden gems, including a tiny omakase restaurant we never would have found on our own. Jupiter and Miyu are incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories of the historic sights. Some of the places we visited included Shibuya Sky, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Harajuka walk, Akihabara, Imperial Palace, Asakusa, Kappabashi street, Odaiba, Mt Fuji (day trip), teamLab Borderless, (experiential art), Tsukiji, and Shinjuku. Transportation was easy. On some days, we took the subway. On other days, we had a car for the day. Simply put, it was like traveling with local friends!
The perfect welcome to the land of the rising sun, Japan!

5.00I had the most incredible two-week journey through Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Visiting Japan had been a dream of mine for most of my life, and Jupiter helped us experience the very best of it at an incredibly affordable price. We explored famous castles in Tokyo, enjoyed amazing street food, learned how to make sushi from a master chef, and attended a traditional tea ceremony where we made matcha. We visited all the popular shopping districts, walked across the iconic Shibuya Crossing while getting professional photos taken, dressed in traditional clothing and strolled through historic streets, shared the same streets with geisha in Kyoto, and even had a fantastic night of karaoke. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I’m already looking forward to returning for a longer trip with our kids. Jupiter was the best guide, travel companion, and fellow foodie anyone could ask for.
Jupiter is an excellent tour guide who is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He is so passionate about his job.

5.00Jupiter was an unbelievably amazing guide. His positive energy, charisma and ability to build rapport with all members of the group, meant that we all had a great trip and saw so many things in addition to the tour description. A highlight was going around his local neighbourhood in Tokyo and the Omakase he organised for us. Couldn't recommend Jupiter more, as he is an essential part to any Japanese trip!
Amazing Tour Guide!

5.00Jupiter is truly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. His knowledge of Japan is exceptional — from history and cultural traditions to hidden gems, top dining spots, entertainment, and local neighborhoods. He doesn’t just take you to places; he brings them to life with context, stories, and insights that completely elevate the experience. What makes Jupiter stand out is how thoughtful and attentive he is. He reads the group well, adapts the day naturally, and makes everything feel seamless and personalized. Whether it’s navigating transportation, timing visits perfectly to avoid crowds, or recommending unforgettable restaurants, he makes exploring Japan effortless and enjoyable. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, organized, personable, and genuinely passionate about Japan, Jupiter is the one. I would tour with him again in a heartbeat.
