What you’ll do

No matter what little time you’re touching down in Tokyo for, your host will ensure you make the most of it! Hungry? Chow down on Japan’s favorite street foods in one of Shibuya’s yokochos, wonderful alleyways packed with eateries, or if you’d prefer some downtime, you could enjoy a picnic at Ueno Park, a vast space lined with fascinating museums and iconic cherry trees.

If you’re visiting after dark, why not indulge in some sake and karaoke in Roppongi, an urban jungle that never sleeps, or line up at 300 Bar in Ginza - Tokyo’s most lavish living quarter? Whatever your taste, your host will design a layover experience just for you! And we promise you won’t miss your flight.

    Susumu did an amazing job in a condensed 6hr tour of Tokyo. Definitely one to remember and will be scheduling another when I comeback through with my family.

    Shuto was probably the best guide wr could of gotten gor our first time in Tokyo. It felt more like he showed some friends around the city rather than just some tourists, which made the experience so much better. Can just recommend him!

    My brief was short but extensive. Apy was able to complete my list, building on it by showing me other fantastic sites along the way I had not known about. She was intuitive about what else I may have liked to see and did not disappoint. She was informative about historical and unusual facts associated with the sites and her positive and up beat attitude made it a pleasure to spend the day with her.

    Ayaka was great. This was a walking tour and we got to see the trains going to Tokyo with our two kids. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. We went to a small town street market in Tokyo, Akihabra for our love of Anine, play Mario kart at a video game place and eat sushi. Ayako took videos and pictures of us.
