When I tried to book a tour with a Japanese-speaking guide, the price was quite high for a solo participant. My English is only broken, and I barely understand any of the technical terms, so I could only vaguely comprehend things, but I was fortunate to have great fellow participants from other countries, and I had a wonderful time. Our guide, Mr. SA, was very considerate and kind, occasionally speaking in Japanese. Overall, the tour was quite physically demanding, as we were outside from morning until sunset, except for the time spent traveling by car. However, they provided chilled bottled water and cold towels throughout the tour. The lunch at the restaurant included in the tour price requires you to pay for any drinks you order yourself, but you can choose one main dish from the menu. I hope this is helpful for anyone who, like me, is worried about language barriers and costs.
This tour efficiently visits ruins that would be difficult to access on your own. Because it's a small group tour, there's no waiting around for other people, making it stress-free. The guide and driver were friendly, and I was satisfied, although I think the price is a little high.
