Our tours are best suited for independent-minded travelers who need a helping hand in the unfamiliar culture and language of Japan.
Traditional tours are too structured, and inflexible. They don’t leave any room to discover your Tokyo, based on your personal tastes and interests.
But Tokyo is still a difficult city for many to navigate. Most of the city still depends on the Japanese language.
With hundreds of thousands of restaurants and stores it’s hard to know which is worth visiting, which has gotten better or gone downhill, which closed or opened last week, etc.
We give you up-to-date, local knowledge, make it easy to get around, and let you spend your time enjoying the city.
