What to expect
You'll travel in a small private group with a guide who knows both the well-known sites and the quieter corners where locals actually spend time. Expect stops at cultural and historical attractions relevant to your chosen city, interspersed with food tastings and drink pairings that illustrate regional flavours rather than tourist clichés. The pace allows for questions and wandering—this isn't ticking boxes. Your guide will offer frank perspective on what it's like to live in Japan, balancing the postcard version with everyday reality. Lunch (seated or portable) breaks up the day; water, snacks and alcohol appear at sensible intervals.
