What Is a Private Koyasan Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) guide led a private Koyasan tour for a guest visiting Japan from North America. While the rest of the group visited USJ, one guest joined the Koyasan tour, wishing to experience the history and mystical spiritual power of the sacred mountain. The guest was especially moved by Nyonindo, the Danjo Garan complex, and Okunoin. Despite some difficulty walking, the guest walked all the way from Ichinohashi Bridge to Kobo Daishi's mausoleum in Okunoin and seemed to truly feel the spiritual atmosphere. At the end of the tour, the guest bought many protective amulets for family and friends.

Tour Report by shige

Hello, This is Shige. I was born and brought up in Osaka. I have been enjoying working as a tour guide since 2016 after retired from a manufacturing company in which I worked at the overseas department. So I experienced a lot of business with customers in Europe, Asia, Australia, and USA where my three years of living and working at the subsidiary company with my family was the most amazing experience of my life. Well, Japan has a long history including ancient remains, historic buildings and cultures at each period over 2000 years. I hope you will enjoy exploring Japan in this tour. I look forward to seeing you soon.

What Is a Private Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Asakusa, and Shinjuku Although I had been a little concerned because I had not received any contact about the meeting point until the day before, on the morning of the tour I received a message that the guests were staying at a Hotel, so we were able to carry out the tour without any problems. It was also fortunate that the accommodation was in a location easy to reach from my home. The guests showed particular interest in Tsukiji, where they not only enjoyed sashimi and skewered grilled wagyu beef but also actively purchased items such as dashi stock packets. I think we ended up spending more time in Tsukiji than usual. In Asakusa we stopped by shops such as a chopstick store, but for the most part it remained window shopping. After the tour of Asakusa, I explained the locations of places such as Don Quijote and sushi restaurants in Shinjuku before we parted ways.

Tour Report by Sam

Hi. My name is Masafumi Miyazaki. Please call me “Sam”. I am a government-licensed guide.
I was born in Tokyo and was raised in the suburbs of Tokyo called Tama area. When I was in university, I majored in western dramas, so I am good at playing like an actor.
I like reading, listening to the music, and walking. I belong to several walking clubs, and sometimes I guide the members around Tokyo.
One of my strengths as a guide is that I know well about kombu, Japanese kelps. In December every year, I work at a traditional kombu shop in Tsukiji Fish Market. At that shop, I learned a lot of things related to kombu or other ingredients for washoku. I can explain the different characteristics of them to you.
Also, I am familiar with Japanese flowers and plants. If you stroll around a Japanese garden with me, I am sure you will be able to enjoy beautiful flowers and unique plants in every season.
I look forward to meeting you. Thank you.

Hotel-Tsukiji Outer Market-Lunch-Odaiba-Shinjuku

What's a Private Tokyo Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji and Wagyu Lunch The guests were a group visiting from overseas. They moved around throughout the day, finding elevators at each location, and were able to board and exit trains without any trouble. For lunch, they savored A5-grade "Matsusaka beef." In particular, while walking through the crowded narrow lanes of the Tsukiji Outer Market, they were amazed by the liveliness and bustling atmosphere of the area. At the end of the tour, one of the guests wished to get a haircut, so I guided them to a barbershop inside a department store, and the tour concluded there.

What Is a Private Walking Tour of Tokyo's Historic East Side Like? A Licensed Guide's Report Following the guest's advance request, I focused the tour on the historic areas on the east side of Tokyo. Although it was the guest's first visit to Japan, they had studied Japanese history and culture, and listened to my explanations with great enthusiasm. The guest also asked so many questions that we did not have quite enough time to fully explore Ueno as originally planned. Since the guest had requested udon for lunch, I took them to a restaurant in Asakusa, and they were delighted, saying it was very delicious. Overall, I believe the guest was satisfied with the tour.

What Is a Private Toyosu Market and Tsukiji Walking Tour Like in Tokyo? A Licensed Guide's Report At 7:00, I met the guests at the ticket gate of Shijo-mae Station on the Yurikamome Line and used the map in front of the station to explain an overview of Toyosu Market. When I asked whether they were ready to walk a long distance since we would be going back and forth inside the market, they gave a bright and confident reply: "We walk 20,000 steps every day, so we'll be fine!" While touring Toyosu Market, I explained the tuna auction process and the reasons for the relocation from Tsukiji. Next, we moved to the wholesale market building, briefly toured the first-floor shops, and then had a sushi breakfast. I guided the guests to a sushi restaurant I had learned about during training, where they thoroughly enjoyed fresh sushi and were very satisfied. After that, we moved to Tsukiji. Strolling through the outer market, the guests greatly enjoyed a food tour with sweets and fresh oysters, as well as souvenir shopping for kitchen knives and Japanese tableware. When I explained the meaning of the phrase "sake is the best of all medicines" written on a large, purely Japanese-style sake flask, the guests were delighted and happily bought it. The weather was fine, and it was a walking tour that the guests were very satisfied with.

What Is a Private Kyoto Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Nijo Castle and Ryoan-ji The guests were quite knowledgeable about Japan and asked eagerly about its history and culture. We had in-depth conversations about the film SHOGUN and old folk tales they had heard long ago, and it was a truly enjoyable time for me as a guide as well. The guests were deeply impressed by the fusuma paintings and decorations in the Ninomaru Palace of Nijo Castle, and they listened attentively to even the finest details of my guiding. Ryoan-ji had fewer visitors than the other two sightseeing spots, so the guests were able to enjoy its relaxed atmosphere. At the end, the guests wished to visit Doshisha University, where one of them had studied for a short two-month program the previous year, and we said our goodbyes in front of the university entrance.

Title: What Is a Private Walking Tour of Osaka's Dotonbori Like? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests were a group visiting Japan. As some members had difficulty walking, we proceeded at a slow pace, and at a couple of spots part of the group waited near the entrance while the rest went partway in. Some of the guests showed great interest in each spot, while others seemed to focus mainly on getting through the itinerary, and a few were absorbed in their phones throughout. At the final stop in Dotonbori, some of the guests said they were too tired to keep walking, so we ended the tour a little earlier than planned. I felt somewhat apologetic about the pace given the walking involved. After the tour, I sent some photos, and the reply I received said they were sorry for ending early and that they had enjoyed the tour, which reassured me. I had explained beforehand that the tour would involve walking and many stairs, but it seems this had not been fully understood.

Tour Report by Yama

Dear my guests,

This is (Mr.) Yama, greeting from Kobe, Japan.
I would like to warmly welcome you to Japan this time. I am from the city of Kobe, which is of course, well-known for very tasty Kobe Beef . You can taste
real genuine Kobe Beef here. Kobe is also called “Home of Japanese Sake” with lots of Sake breweries, and I recommend you would visit those breweries
if you have any interest in Japanese Sake as well as one aspect of Japanese cultures. Of course, you can have tastings of various kinds of Sake there.

Whenever during the tour, I always try to make it safe, pleasant and comfortable for all of the guests, which is my first priority. I am very much confident
that you can have a pleasant and unforgettable experience in Japan. Just tell me about your preference; what you would like to like to see, have, know
and eat and so on. Particularly, I hold the license for cooking qualified by the government here and maybe, I can reply you for questions related to the
foods here. In this respect, I strongly recommend you would try not only famous Japanese cuisine such as Sushi, Tempura or Suki-yaki but some
Japanese traditional local foods, like Tako-yaki, Okonomi-yaki and Kushkatsu. They are sometimes called the soul foods of Japan. Here is the brief
explanation for these three foods.

1) Tako-yaki
Tako-yaki is a snack filled with pieces of octopus in a batter of flour , egg and soup stock. You can call them octopus dumplings or balls. “Tako” means
octopus and “yaki” means grilled or broiled.
2) Okonomi-yaki
This word Okonomi-yaki means “cook just as you like” and you can use whatever you like as toppings, such as beef, pork, shrimp, squid and octopus.
Okonomi-yaki is round shape and just like pancakes or pizza in shape mainly made from egg, flour and water.
3) Kushi-katsu
Kushi-katsu is skewered cutlet or deep-fried foods on a stick. “Kushi” means skewer and “katsu” means cutlet. Various kinds of foods are used for
ingredients such as beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, squid, octopus and lots of kinds of vegetables.

Actually, the western Japan including Osaka, Kobe and Himeji is called as “Home of such local soul foods”. You should give it a try and I am sure
that you like them very much.

I sincerely hope that I can be your tour guide this time in Kobe, Osaka and Himeji. If my guests said to me after the tour, “I have had a very good
and pleasant time with you today. I hope I can come here again and name you as our guide”, which is my great pleasure. Moreover, I would be
great honored if they say “I like Japan now thanks to you”.

Looking forward to meeting you soon here.
Doomo Arigato Gozaimasu!

They were surprised by how crowded every place was and by how clean the town was.

What Is a Private Day Tour of Miyajima Like? A Licensed Guide's Report The guests were visitors from South America, and they were very cheerful and often shared jokes throughout the tour. Today the walking pace was slow, so we adjusted the plan accordingly. Originally, the plan was to visit the Great Torii Gate of Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrine, then return to the city to see Hiroshima Castle and Shukkeien Garden. However, after we met, the guests said they had seen a website showing how beautiful Daishoin Temple was and wanted to visit there. Also, on the train heading to Miyajima, when I handed over a map of the island, the guests said they wanted to take the ropeway up Mount Misen to enjoy the view from the mountain as well. As a result, the day became a full day of sightseeing in Miyajima. Since the walking pace was slow, the guests suggested using a taxi on Miyajima, so I called a taxi company, but I found out that recently there is only one taxi available on the island. Nevertheless, by combining walking and the taxi, we were able to complete the Miyajima tour just as the guests had hoped. For lunch, they enjoyed fresh oysters very much. The guests kindly told me that it had been a very fulfilling day.

Title: What Is a 6-Hour Private Walking Tour of Koyasan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report After meeting up, the guests said they were hungry, so we headed to a shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) restaurant. After lunch, I took plenty of time to guide them through Kongobuji Temple, the head temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect of Buddhism. The guests had a deep interest in Japanese religion and listened attentively to my explanations all the way through. They also asked questions such as the differences between esoteric Buddhism and other Buddhist denominations, which made me reflect on how I could explain these topics more clearly in the future. I believe they were also delighted with our stroll around Okunoin, as we were blessed with good weather. This was a 6-hour local guiding tour, so I also showed them the Daimon Gate and Nyonindo of Koyasan. It was the first time I had taken a photo of guests at the Koyasan Daimon Gate. Since the guests kindly gave their consent for promotional use, I am sending the guest photo.
