Friendly escorted tours of Japan in small groups of no more than ten travellers

Riki's Tours Japan is a Sydney-based tour operator providing friendly small group tours of Japan. Riki designs, arranges, and escorts all tours, providing authentic experiences tailored for small groups of no more than 10 fellow travellers. With more than 15 years' experience, Riki Inamura knows how to care for you on tour in the land where he was raised. He will share wonderful food, beautiful nature and joyful experiences with you from beginning to end.

Friendly, professional & experienced service

Born and raised in Kyoto, but calling Sydney home, Riki gives you the benefit of understanding Australian & Kiwi travellers, while also providing insider knowledge of Japan. All tours are led by Riki, who is qualified with a Diploma in Tourism, a Cert IV in Tour Guiding, a Bachelor of Law, and a Diploma of Teaching. This gives you the peace of mind to enjoy cross-cultural experiences in a professional and knowledgeable, yet safe and friendly atmosphere.

Enjoying good food that only a local expert knows how to find

Riki has a love for simple and healthy seasonal Japanese food. Being in a small group, he can take you to his favourite places to eat across the country. As you travel through different regions of Japan, you will have the chance to try specialties that the local people enjoy. This can range from simple delights like a hearty bowl of local ramen sold adjacent to a train station to a kaiseki dinner at a ryokan. If you are touring Kyoto, Riki will take you to Wontana, where the attention to detail and service is delightful.

Rejuvenating day-walks through areas of stunning natural beauty

Many of Riki's tours include rejuvenating day-walks through stunning natural environments. For instance, the City Lights & Alpine Trails tour will take you into a remote valley on the roof of Japan, and The North to Kamui Mintara tour takes you through green canyons, by peaceful lakes and across mountain peaks in Tohoku and Hokkaido. Walks are suitable for most travellers, and only require a good pair of walking shoes. They are also designed so that you can easily shorten or skip them should you wish.

Staying in well-located quality accommodation including ryokan stays and onsen hotels

All accommodation is of 3 to 4 star standard, and have been carefully chosen to give you a pleasant stay in the best locations without inflating the cost of your tour unnecessarily. Hotels and ryokan are carefully selected to give you great access to transport hubs, as well as shopping, restaurant and sightseeing experiences. All tours include a stay in at least one ryokan or an onsen Hotel (with a hot spring bath) so you can experience a holiday as the Japanese do.
