Overview

Explore the ancient city of Khiva with a licensed local guide on a walking tour designed especially for Japanese-speaking visitors. During this 2.5-hour tour, you will discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ichan Kala, including its historic gates, madrasas, mosques, minarets, palaces, and traditional streets.

Learn about the history of the Silk Road, the Khorezm civilization, local traditions, architecture, and everyday life through easy-to-understand explanations in Japanese. This tour is perfect for travelers who want a deeper cultural experience with a local expert. I will also share recommendations for traditional Uzbek food, cafés, souvenir shops, and the best photo spots. Please note that entrance tickets to Ichan Kala and museums are not included and should be purchased separately if needed. Comfortable walking shoes and drinking water are recommended, especially during summer.

I look forward to welcoming you to beautiful Khiva!
