Hey there! I'm Hiro, your local host here in Tokyo. One of my favorite pastimes is diving into the world of Japanese vintage thrifting and antique shopping. And when the sun sets, you'll often find me hopping between music clubs, soaking in the diverse sounds of Tokyo's nightlife. I know this city like the back of my hand, especially neighborhoods like Aoyama, Omotesando, and Harajuku, where tradition and innovation meet. From the trendy vibes of Shibuya to the historic charm of Asakusa, I've got you covered. As a Tokyo expert, I'm passionate about the art scene, I'm always on the lookout for the next big thing. Whether it's contemporary galleries or traditional crafts, I've got you covered! And when it comes to shopping, I know all the spots for the best finds. Let's dive into the heart of this vibrant city and create memories that will last a lifetime.

My reviews

    Hiro was genuinely interested in us and made lots of suggestions to help us plan parts of the rest of our trip and his support made us more confident in our ability to navigate our way in Japan.

    This tour takes you across the city of Tokyo to great lengths and was great at learning about the different parts of the city, in addition learning a ton about Japanese history. This tour can be made to match exactly your interests, as Hiro can exceptionally put together the perfect itinerary for you.

    Our 4 hour intro to Tokyo tour with Hiro was excellent. He met us at our hotel, took us to see various neighbourhoods in Tokyo, as well as showing us how the Tokyo metro system works. He even took us to a coffee shop for a break, where the owner then took us to a neighbourhood stationery shop, where there was a line of people waiting for the shop to open. After explaining what we really enjoy, Hiro searched online and took us to some gardens that he had never been to himself, and stayed with us past the allotted 4 hours, to wander through the gardens with us, taking pictures of early cherry blossoms, and then escorted us back to our hotel. He has since followed up with us to check how the rest of our trip has been going, and to forward us some suggestions of things to do in Kyoto, his home town. We highly recommend this tour, and Hiro as a guide.
