Escape the Big Three
Wanna get out of the city for a while? There are tons of day trips you can take around each of the major cities. Japan’s Bullet Train (shinkansen) system is a signature Japan experience, enabling you to travel from one coast to another in just a few hours. We’ll propose several options for stretching your legs and seeing more of what Japan offers.Â
Other customer testimonials
Being on a day tour with Unseen Japan is nothing like a typical tour. You'll be brought into secluded places that the locals frequent but the tourists miss. Plus, you'll get tons of new knowledge from the tour guide about Japan that you probably can't find by browsing. You can tell that this knowledge is earned only by living and immersing yourself into the Japanese society. Highly recommend!

I just completed a two week tour of Japan, with my wife, my daughter, her fiancé and a dear friend who was a high school classmate of mine in Tokyo. Based on our experience with Noah, I highly recommend Unseen Japan for anyone planning a trip to Japan, especially those who are intellectually curious and who want a deeper dive into the history, culture and religions of Japan.

My time with Unseen Japan Tours was incredible! It was really amazing to have knowledgeable, first-hand recommendations for my trip. I would gladly employ their services again!

Planning a trip to Japan, we didn’t want to be locked into a tour group. Noah put together an itinerary that we could travel at our own pace. In Tokyo he guided us personally on a walking tour and was incredibly informative on all aspects of culture, history, and food. Overall, he made our Japan trip an experience not to forget.

[Rin] went above and beyond for our family and helped accommodate every single thing we could possibly want. She helped us have the most memorable, fun trip we could ever imagine! You have a gem on your hands!! She was amazing and just what we needed for our time in Kyoto!

Noah had the challenge of guiding a group that consisted of those both senior and college-aged. He skillfully adapted the tour through Tokyo and Kyoto to captivate all who participated. Whenever curiosity struck one of us with a random question or topic to discuss, whether it be regarding Japanese culture, politics, or history - Noah knew the answer.

My wife Sharon and I recently completed a 9 day tour with Noah Oskow. We had an absolutely phenomenal time and saw many aspects of this fascinating country thanks to Noah and Unseen Japan. We highly recommend them!!!!

Unseen Japan Tours and Noah were fantastic! I had looked around for custom tours in Tokyo, and it seemed like Unseen Japan had the best experience and the best price — and I was right! They were so helpful when it came to the planning stages, and Noah was a phenomenal tour guide — highly knowledgeable and personable. It felt like having a friend show you around. We highly recommend Unseen Japan Tours for an experience that will be one of the highlights of your trip!

Thank you so much for your time in planning and guiding us in Tokyo. We got more knowledge from one day with you in Tokyo than the rest of our time in Tokyo combined. Our only regret from our trip was not booking you to show us around for more days. It was like having an old friend show you around the city!

My wife and I have always been extremely interested in visiting Asia, and specifically Japan. To think about doing so independently however, was extremely intimidating.
Thankfully we found Unseen Japan, and Noah Oskow. He walked with us, literally and figuratively; through the history, the stories, and the folklore of ancient Japan. I highly recommend Unseen Japan and look forward to using them again!
