Free walking tours in Takayama

We loved the tour Jan has given us. It was very fun, entertaining and informative. Although we were in Japan for 1.5 weeks already, we felt we learned a lot. Jan is a very charismatic guide. He was very kind and patient with us. We also appreciated his willingness to show us the leas touristic Takayama gems. Overall we had a great time. Thank you, Jan!

Definitely worth it of you are in Takayama! You'll get to understand more unknown aspects of the town and Jan will provide very interesting insights of someone who is not japanese but has spent enough time in the country to understand their culture and society.

El mejor guía que hemos tenido en Japón, se nota que es un experto con muchos años de experiencia siendo guía.

Jan was really great. Very knowledgeable, funny, have interesting view of things. Very friendly and provided good tips for the rest of the stay

Jan is a really great tour guide. Knowledgeable, personable, and considerate. You will like him a lot.

Amazing tour in a small town. Jan was a good tour guide and gave great recommendations for things to do afterwards. I was worried that I would not have enough to do on my 3 day stay in Takayama and I’m glad I did this tour on the first day because it gave me plenty to do afterwards. 10/10 would recommend.

Muy recomendable. Fue un tour muy entretenido y visitamos varios lugares de interés.

Very nice tour worth it to do! I highly recommend it to have a general overview of the village. We enjoyed a lot!

Knowledgeable guide. Went of the main stream tourist places. English very good. Gave us great advise where to eat and visit museums. Nice and relaxed guy!!

This tour was amazing! Jan takes you off the beaten path, I was so amazed to see the beautiful characteristic streets empty for me to take photographs. He tells a lot of interesting stories, all in all, I really loved it ❤️

Muy buena experiencia, original tour y buena información del alegre Yan!

Super nice guy, gave us a great summary of Japanese history, culture, local info and excellent dinner options 🙏🏽

Muy buen guia

Jan did his first Takayama tour with us- and we were glad we were his first group! It was great to learn more about Takayama through his lenses! Thank you, Jan! - Danielle & Wellah

Jan was an incredible guide and shared his passion for Takayama, with tips on where to eat and drink too. He talked to us on such a variety of topics, from Japanese culture and religion, to where to get the best ramen in town! We have done several Guru walks during our 2 week stay in Japan but his was the best!

Jan took us on a tour of fascinating places we wouldn't necessarily have visited without him. Jan's explanations were precise and interesting. Jan has a remarkable general and extraordinary knowledge of Takayama, Japanese culture, and Japanese history that is worth knowing.
