Our trip to Japan was fantastic. Shona did a wonderful job catering to our requests for a balance of historical places and modern experiences. We especially liked Nijo Castle and Shinjuku.

Our individual guides, Miwa Aoki and Katsumi Ishikawa, were amazing. I would highly recommend both for Tokyo and Kyoto, respectively.

Looking back on our recent trip to Japan, one of the things we’re most grateful for is having Ben help us plan it. He took the time to understand what we wanted from the trip, and from the start, we felt like we were in very good hands.

Ben was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and paid attention to all the little details that made such a difference. Our itinerary gave us a great balance of memorable experiences and time to explore on our own. During our trip, Ben checked in every day to see how we were doing and provide assistance as needed

One of our favorite memories was the Yamazaki Distillery tour. It was such a unique experience and a real highlight of the trip, exactly the kind of personal touch that made our time in Japan so memorable.

The guides Ben arranged were another highlight. They were knowledgeable, personable, and added so much to our experience at each destination.

We came home with so many wonderful memories and truly appreciate all the care Ben put into making our Japan trip so special. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Japan.

Dear Patrick and Lucy,

Your review genuinely made my day — thank you so much. Knowing that you felt cared for from our very first message, and that all those little details helped make your journey special, means more to me than you know.

I’m especially happy that the Yamazaki Distillery tour became one of those memories you’ll carry home with you — that’s exactly the kind of experience I hope to create for every traveler I work with.

It also means so much to hear how much you enjoyed spending time with your guides along the way. They are wonderful people, and I’ve already shared your kind words and review with our entire team. Everyone was truly delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your time in Japan, and I know your words will mean a great deal to the guides who were part of your journey as well.

It was a real pleasure to be part of your adventure, and it makes me smile knowing that you’re back home with so many wonderful memories from Japan.

Whenever Japan calls you again — or if a friend ever mentions they’re thinking about a trip to Japan — I’ll be here and would be delighted to help. It would be wonderful to plan another journey for you someday.

Thank you again, Patrick and Lucy. It was truly a pleasure taking care of you both.

With warmest regards,

I especially appreciated being able to rely on his local expertise and relationships with in-country partners when questions or logistical details came up. As the trip approached, he was excellent about providing updated driver information, reservation confirmations, transportation guidance and day-of details so I could make sure the travelers had everything they needed. He also responded quickly whenever I needed clarification or wanted to double-check something. From the advisor side, I felt well supported throughout the process and appreciated having a knowledgeable local partner I could rely on.

The service was great to have guides set up and things to suggest on the days we didn't have anything planned or places to be. We really enjoyed the local guides as they were all very knowledgeable on the areas we were wandering around. Would highly recommend using the Kim Kim service as they have local knowledge and can build an itinerary to what you like to do and see. Look forward to using Kim Kim in the future as it takes a lot of guess work out of what to do and where to stay as there are so many options of where to stay and they helped out making it spots that were easily walkable, nice hotels, and quiet. But they can help build a trip depending on your budget and what you would like to get up to while traveling.
