Working with KimKim, and our local specialist, Shona, was simple and efficient.
Shona worked hard for us. She went above and beyond with helping us before and also during our trip.
We are very grateful for Shona's service, expertise, timeliness, and dedication to ensuring we had a great trip.
Shona had so many great ideas for our family to do each day in different areas around Japan.
All of our daily guides and drivers were also excellent, helpful, and patient. Our group was not always easy for them, but they did a wonderful job despite some challenges that occurred during our daily activities and tours.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make our trip a great success!

Activity Reviews


We loved learning about the history of the Osaka castle.


The boat ride to see mount Fuji was disappointing because the mountain was behind clouds. This is not the fault of our guide. We also got caught in a thunderstorm downpour that day, which added some spice to our day. We were not able to complete the full experience our guide had planned for us because of the rain.


We had good experiences riding the bullet trains.

We loved learning about the traditional tea ceremony and dressing up in the traditional clothing and taking photos together.


Miyajima island and the shrines on the water were so beautiful! Our guide had some extra challenges with our group that day, and she did an amazing job with dealing with the circumstances to ensure we could finish seeing all the things and the museum in Hiroshima.

Hi Josh,

I’m sincerely grateful to your entire family for your patience and trust; there’s so much I still need to refine, yet you’ve given me such generous praise. You’ve just joined my “angel-client” list! I wish you all a future filled with smooth days, happiness, and good health, and really hope see you next trip!
Best
Shona
