Walk along the sacred paths of Meiji Shrine, where towering Torii gates rise in quiet reverence. Explore Asakusa’s historic streets, where the scent of incense drifts through the grand halls of Senso-ji Temple. With a private guide and chauffeured car, discover the hidden stories behind Tokyo’s iconic sights in a way that’s uniquely yours. Whether you seek the elegance of tradition, the thrill of modern innovation, our private Tokyo tour promises an unforgettable journey.

Toshi was excellent and very knowledgeable. We saw a mix of Tokyo must see tourist attractions and learned more about Japanese culture and history. Highly recommended
Dear Amy-san & Alex-san, Thank you for your participation in our tour in Tokyo. I am very glad that you had a great time in Meiji Shrine where you saw many Sake barrels and “Shirayuki-Japan’s oldest Sake brand from my hometown”, learned about Shinto shrines, Emperors, Shoguns and Japanese history. Also I was surprised to see how well all of your family members (including your youngest son) used your chopsticks when you enjoyed your Sushi lunch at Tsukiji-fish market. It was so nice to see all of you having delicious SUSHI with chopsticks in Tokyo! In addition, we had a surprise visit to Ginza SIX “Noh-theater” where we could see authentic traditional Noh, the Japanese classical musical drama known for its masks. We were even able to try wearing authentic masks and take photos of ourselves wearing masks! That was so fun! We could also visit Sensoji-temple and nearby Skytree---the tallest TV tower in the world, where you could enjoy Tokyo City landscape from high above. As there is many other beautiful places in Japan, please come back to visit us in Japan again. Looking forward to seeing you sometime soon. Toshi
we had an amazing day with Hoshi and Toshi. I booked it one day before and they were 100% accomodating to arrange a tour in record time! Hoshi recommended some ideas for the itinerary that were perfect! I fully recommend the tour with them, it’s a great way to go around Tokyo if you have little time or if you want to have an easy and fresh ride in the Tokyo summer! Would recommend and repeat!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Although we only had a short time together, I was impressed by how attentively you listened to the explanations at the shrines and temples. You also did a great job following the purification ritual and proper prayer etiquette. The restaurant for lunch had such a lovely atmosphere—it was a great choice! I’m sure you had a wonderful sushi meal there. we hope you had a fantastic time in Japan, and we’d love to see you again someday! Hoshi and Toshi
We had a great time with Yoshi. The whole day was amazing and full of fun experiences. She was friendly and knowledgeable and she and the driver worked together to make our first day in Tokyo, a memorable one.
Thank you for such heartwarming review! We are so glad to hear you and your family had a great time with us, even though it was only 6 hours. We hope this tour was helpful as the start of your trip in Tokyo. We look forward to serving you again! Yoshimi
For our second visit to this beautiful country, we did not hesitate to call on Japan Star Travel Agency. Our guide fluent in French offered us 3 days of visits around Osaka taking into account our desires and imperatives. I highly recommend
Merci Nicolas C'était un très grand plaisir de vous revoir et connaitre le fait que votre fils poursuit son rêve d’illustrateur d’animation qu’il m’avait partagé lors de sa première visite au Japon. J’ai également été profondément ému que vous ayez tous les trois fait le tatouage avec ce mot [絆] que je vous avais suggéré. Au grand plaisir de vous revoir dans les prochaines années, et de recevoir des nouvelles de la part de votre fils au Japon. En vous remerciant infiniment. Taiji
Beautiful city, very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Clean, new vehicle, with very friendly driver. I would love to use them again!

Yoshimi was an incredible host, Tokyo was brought to life and into context by the information shared and the amazing places we visited on the day. Brilliant!!
Thank you very much for your 5-star review! It was a pleasure serving you. We are so glad to hear you had a great time with us. Hope to see you again soon! Yoshimi
Mihoko was a delight from the beginning, she was easy to communicate with while making our plans for the tour. She was prompt meeting us and was a wonderful guide because she was very knowledgeable about Kochi. She was accommodating when we kept changing our plans. We were a group of six people and we all give her 5 stars. Thank you Mihoko for a great day.
Dear Sharon, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I was truly happy that you were able to experience the New Year atmosphere at Meiji Jingu and enjoy the early-blooming cherry blossoms at the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace. I also appreciated the many thoughtful questions you asked while viewing the vast city of Tokyo from Tokyo Tower. Your curiosity made the experience even more enjoyable for me as well. I wish you a delightful remainder of your journey and hope Tokyo leaves you with many memorable moments. Warm regards, Mihoko
Yoshi planned our trip with great detail! He had a lot of knowledge and the tour was 100% worth it! Highly recommend. Definitely plan the Tokyo Tower on your trip.
Many thanks, once again, for such a lovely day. It was an absolute pleasure to guide you around Tokyo! I’m delighted that we managed to accomplish such an ambitious itinerary and cover so much ground (as well as heights!) within the limited time we had. Thank you for your kindness, flexibility and cooperation! I hope you enjoyed the NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20. Wishing you all a very wonderful year ahead. Thank you and best regards, Yoshi
Yoshimi was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She was very friendly, helpful and professional. Her partner was also highly professional. We enjoyed our tour with them. Would recommend them to anyone who is going to be in the area.
What a fantastic review! Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your great experience. We are so glad you had a memorable time. This tour was limited in time due to flight transfers, but the driver, Toshi and I have planned this tour to show you as many beautiful and varied views of Tokyo as possible. We hope to see you all on another one of our tours in the future! Yoshimi

To Brittany & Michael Thank you for writing a great review on our 6H Tokyo tour. Motivated by your interest in Japanese subculture since your childhood, I was very excited to show you around Akihabara and Nintendo shop.
