This well-respected club for volunteer guides can take you to major sites and tourist attractions, with different plans available. One nice thing about this club is that for events, such as festivals, they also organize special get-togethers for a small fee.

Another popular service, the members are local university students hoping to meet foreigners and show them around. These are usually one-day tours.

For those visiting places such as Osaka, Kyoto or Nara, Visit Kansai is a great choice. They have loads of bubbly volunteer guides who want to give tourists a real behind-the-scenes experience.
