Private Daily Guides​

Share the cost of an expert guide with your travel group

This service is recommended for anyone who wants to travel independently with their friends or family, but at the same time would like to be accompanied by a local guide while visiting a specific destination

Having a private guide who introduces you to Japanese culture and gives you directions on how to move around in a world that is completely different from the Western one is definitely a wise choice to best continue the rest of the trip independently

Contact the Onigiro team on Instagram or Facebook, or via email at [email protected] including which destinations you are interested in and which dates you would like to book

Once availability for that date has been confirmed, you can proceed with the purchase of the guide service by selecting the city you wish to visit

In general, our daily guided tours start at 8:00 AM and end at 6:00 PM (before dinner), as most attractions close around 5:30 PM (schedule adjustments available upon request).

The listed rates include the daily guiding fee and all transportation costs for the guide.

Meals and entrance tickets for the selected attractions are not included in the price. Guests are responsible for covering both their own expenses and those of the guide on site (e.g., ferry tickets, ceramic workshop fees, entrance to temples and shrines, etc.).
