Apy was my guide and she was great! It felt like walking around the city with a friend rather than just a guide. She was very easy to talk to and could hold a great conversation. She provided some helpful insight on the landmarks that we saw and explained the significance of each one in Japanese history. She also gave me some great restaurant recommendations that I tried and were wonderful. I think this tour is well balanced between famous landmarks and more underrated sites. Definitely worth experiencing if it’s your first time in Tokyo.

Five-Star Experience with Our Tokyo Tour Guide! We had an unforgettable time exploring Tokyo, thanks to our amazing tour guide, Shohei! From the moment we met, it was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. They tailored the tour to our interests—mixing iconic landmarks like the Meiji Shrine and off-the-beaten-path spots we’d never have found on our own. His insights into Japanese life style, local food, and daily life brought everything to life in a way no guidebook ever could. he has also helped us navigate the transportation system with ease, saving us time and stress. We especially appreciated the food recommendations—thanks to them, we had one of the best local experiences of our entire trip! If you’re visiting Tokyo and want to go beyond the surface, I can’t recommend Shohei enough. His passion for the city and genuine care for the guests made our visit truly special. We left with not just memories but a deeper appreciation for Japan. Arigatou gozaimasu, Shohei—you’re the best

Nobu’s tour was the highlight of our vacation in Japan. He tailored the itinerary to our interests and went above and beyond to make this an amazing experience. So glad we were matched with him. I would request him in the future!

Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour?
No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.
Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?
Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.
What if I don’t know what I want to explore?
That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.
Can I mix different themes in one experience?
Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.
Will I know my itinerary in advance?
Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!
Can I request specific places to visit?
Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.
How much walking is involved?
This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.
