Tourist guide in Japan

In Japan, you will quickly have to make choices. Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka do not tell the same story, and the differences in pace between a Shibuya district, the alleys of Kyoto or the atmosphere of Dōtonbori completely change the way you visit the country. With a private guide in Japan, you can organize your days without wasting time deciding on your own between major temples, modern districts, museums and quieter walks.

A private guide also helps you make sense of the places you see. In Tokyo, Asakusa Shrine, Tokyo Skytree or Meiji-jingū are better understood when each visit is put into the context of the city’s history and its present-day contrasts. In Kyoto, Fushimi Inari-taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji or the bamboo forest of Sagano take on another dimension if someone explains the customs, symbols and the best times to discover them.

It is also very useful if you want to get away from itineraries that are too rushed. Between Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya or Fukuoka, distances and transfers can weigh on a trip, especially if you are looking to keep a comfortable pace. A guide can help you prioritize stops, avoid unnecessary travel and choose what is really worth your time depending on the season, your tiredness or your current wishes.

Beyond the logistics, you gain a more precise understanding of the country. A single stay can combine very famous sites, gardens, temples, shopping districts and more peaceful places such as Shinjuku Gyoen Park, Matsumoto Castle, Kōtoku-in or Jigokudani Monkey Park. MYTOGU can put you in touch with a private guide who can adapt your discovery of Japan to the way you travel, whether you are looking for a first glimpse or a more in-depth itinerary.
