Choose your own Japan adventure
What's your ideal Japan trip? Do you want to…
- Enjoy a geisha performance
- Walk the same streets as legendary figures from Japan's Edo era
- Indulge your love of Japanese sake
- Learn more about Japan's native religion
With Unseen Japan Tours, you're in charge. We handcraft each itinerary to suit our customer's unique needs. Experience exactly what you want to experience - not what a tour-guide company wants you to see.
Escape the Big Three
Want to get out of the city for a while? There are tons of day trips from each of the major cities. Japan's bullet train (shinkansen) lets you travel from one coast to the other in just a few hours. We'll propose several options for stretching your legs and seeing more of what Japan has to offer.
What our travelers say
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.
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.
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!!
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. I was impressed with our experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Unseen Japan Tours to others!
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 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 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!
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!
