Our guide Lauren was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the metro system. She contacted us beforehand to gauge what we wanted which was really helpful. She even spent more time with us than she should have to ensure we got on the right train! Would recommend.

Taka is an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly, excellent English, and very enthusiastic about Japanese food. We had a great variety of food, a cool Sake tasting, and a walking tour of the unique fish market. He customized the tour to take account of our friend who had injured his leg and was walking slow. It was our best day in Tokyo!

Your questions, answered
What’s the best time of year to visit Tokyo?
Tokyo enchants year-round, but spring and autumn stand out. In spring, fleeting cherry blossoms inspire poetic hanami gatherings, while autumn paints the city in crimson and gold. October offers mild sunshine, perfect for exploring. Summers pulse with festivals and heat; winters are clear, calm, and reveal Mt. Fuji’s snowy peak.
How many days should I plan to spend in Tokyo?
Spend 3–5 days in Tokyo to explore its temples, gardens, lively streets, and unique neighborhoods. With a week or more, dive deeper into local culture, uncover hidden districts, and enjoy day trips to Hakone, Kawagoe, Nikko, or Kamakura. However long you stay, tailor your trip to what excites you most.
What are the must-see attractions in Tokyo?
Tokyo’s must-sees mix tradition and modernity: visit Senso-ji Temple, Shibuya Crossing, Meiji Shrine, and Tsukiji Market. Admire Tokyo Skytree, Omotesando’s design, and Yanaka’s old-world charm. The city’s beauty lies in contrasts—peaceful shrines beside neon streets, and hidden gems waiting to surprise you.
Which neighborhoods are best to stay in?
Tokyo’s neighborhoods each reveal a unique side of the city. Shinjuku is ideal for first-timers, full of food, shops, and nightlife. Shibuya buzzes with youthful energy, while Asakusa offers old Tokyo charm near Senso-ji. For a slower pace, try Daikanyama, Nakameguro, or Yanaka. With great transport, every area is easy to explore.
How do I get around Tokyo (transportation options)?
Tokyo’s world-class transport makes getting around effortless. The Metro and JR lines are clean, fast, and cover nearly the whole city—no car needed. Use a Suica or Pasmo card for easy travel. Walk to uncover hidden gems, and start with a local walking experience to beat jet lag and gain confidence exploring.
Is Tokyo safe for tourists? What about solo or women travelers?
Tokyo is one of the world’s safest cities, ideal for all travelers—even solo adventurers. Crime is rare, locals are courteous, and public transport feels safe day or night. Still, stay alert and protect your belongings. Many solo travelers find Tokyo easy to explore, with local hosts happy to share insider tips.
What are some local foods or dishes I should try in Tokyo?
Tokyo is a paradise for food lovers, from Michelin-starred sushi to cozy ramen joints. Try edomae sushi, tempura, tonkatsu, okonomiyaki, and yakitori. Taste monjayaki in Tsukishima or explore depachika for bento and sweets. A first meal with a local host doubles as a dining “survival guide” full of insider tips and delicious discoveries.
What are some hidden gems or off-the-beaten-path spots in Tokyo?
Beyond the neon lights, Tokyo hides peaceful corners and hidden gems. Stroll Yanaka’s nostalgic lanes, browse Shimokitazawa’s vintage shops and cafés, or wander forest trails near Meguro. Visit Gotokuji Temple, home of the lucky cat. With a local host, you’ll uncover the authentic Tokyo few visitors ever experience.
When is cherry blossom season (and autumn foliage season) in Tokyo?
Cherry blossom season in Tokyo typically occurs from late March to early April, while autumn foliage usually peaks from mid-November to early December. Timing can vary slightly each year depending on weather conditions.
What language is spoken in Tokyo, and do locals speak English?
Japanese is Tokyo’s main language, though basic English is often understood in tourist areas. Signs, menus, and stations usually include English translations, making navigation easy. Learning a few phrases or using a translation app helps, and your local host can bridge any gaps for a smoother, more authentic experience.
What’s the tipping culture in Tokyo?
Tipping isn’t part of Japanese culture, and locals rarely do it. However, as a visitor, a small tip given personally as a thank-you is perfectly acceptable. If your host makes your experience extra special, feel free to offer a gratuity in any amount that feels right to you.
What are typical opening hours for shops, restaurants, and museums?
Most Tokyo shops open around 10 AM and close by 8 or 9 PM. Restaurants serve lunch from 11 AM–2 PM and dinner from 5 PM–10 PM, though cafés may open earlier and some spots stay open all day. Museums generally run 10 AM–5 or 6 PM, often closing Mondays. Hours vary, so it’s best to check in advance.
Can I use credit cards in Tokyo, or do I need cash?
Credit cards are widely accepted in Tokyo’s hotels, stores, and major restaurants, but cash is still useful for small shops, local eateries, and temple or garden fees. Keep coins for small payments. ATMs at convenience stores and post offices accept international cards, and your host can help you find nearby options.
