Shinjuku Personal Stylist : Vintage, K-Fashion ou Streetwear

Akari was super helpful picking out outfits that fit my very specific material needs, going from shop to shop finding great Japanese clothes for me to try on. It was a MUCH better experience than if I had just tried to do this on my own, certainly with me not having much Japanese language skills. Ended up with several great outfits and felt like the best dressed foreigner for the rest of my Japan trip. Thanks Akari! 😃

We had so much fun on this fashion tour and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a deep dive into Tokyo’s fashion and shopping! Our guide Akari was knowledgeable, welcoming, and well-prepared. Before the tour, Akari reached out to ask about our style preferences and goals, budget, sizes, etc. and then selected boutiques and designers to our tastes. Her communication was always clear and friendly, we always felt comfortable knowing she had a clear plan. On the tour itself, Akari guided us through Shinjuku shores and assisted in communicating with the store clerks, helped carry our coats/bags, and shared tips and facts about Japan’s fashion industry and trends. We visited several cool independent Japanese designer boutiques, vintage shops, and curated multi-brand retailers for men and women! We left with several unique items that we love. When the tour ended, Akari even recommended other shops we could visit and offered tips for our upcoming travel to other Japanese cities too! It was such a pleasure taking this shopping tour, well worth the price especially if you are a fashion lover with limited time in Tokyo who wants to learn about and buy great Japanese fashion - it’s such a big city and can be intimidating, but this tour left us feeling confident and excited to explore more!

My daughter and I had the best experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Akari quickly eased away the uncertainty and showed us a really good time. She was prepared and full of energy/personality. Knew exactly which stores to show us based on preferences shared and had an organized route to make the time spent most efficient. We weren’t ready to leave her but had dinner reservations to run off to. She even provided a run down of our day afterwards and sent a checklist for stores we couldn’t get to in case we had time during the rest of our visit to Tokyo. Additionally, she sent a list of other things to do, places to eat, etc based on interests shared during our time together. Her recommendations were better than Google! Would definitely recommend this experience with Akari.

This was such a treat! If you want to really shop in Tokyo, and feel I overwhelmed by your choices, hire Akari!

This tour was the highlight of my trip to Japan. I love fashion and enjoy learning about new brands and designers from all over the world. Akari is such a professional and pleasant person to spend time shopping with. She connected with me before the tour, was thorough in her questions and planned a tour that was perfectly aligned with what I was looking for. I needed to extend our tour slightly and she was flexible and accommodating. I was able to buy amazing pieces, vintage, contemporary, new and pre-loved, learned about local small designers as well as iconic designers. I highly recommend this tour if you love fashion.

A great experience where I found lots of options on clothes to wear and how to mix them. I don't think I could have enjoyed going shopping through all those options without the help of Miss Akari, thank you so much

Akari was an amazing tourguide! She helped us so much with navigating many things during our trip as well, outside of the tour, and was such a lovely conversationalist! She goes out of her way to accommodate and really tailor your experience to your preferences on whichever type of tour you choose to do. I would highly recommend her, as she does this purely out of the love of fashion and sharing Japan with folks who visit! Fair warning, wear comfy shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking, she does her best to cover as many brands and styles as possible according to what you ask for, and puts in the work to make sure you have options to explore, so make sure you're ready to walk around a bunch!

Akari-san is an absolute gem and you will not regret booking this tour! It was obvious from before the tour even started that Akari is a thoughtful and detailed person. We exchanged messages beforehand so she could get a sense of what I was looking for and she fully customized it to fit my needs. She makes great effort to understand you! On the tour, she gave great suggestions throughout and gave me confidence to try out looks I'd never try on my own. Along with working with the store staff, I thought I got really amazing advice, I learned so much! She never pressured me to buy anything even though I'm so happy with every piece I bought that day! She even advised me on hair styling! After the tour she provided notes on tips on how to wear the clothing and even how to wash and care for them! I'm so impressed with her! Only thing I wish for was to have taken this tour sooner, go book it!!

Akari is friendly and knowledgeable and introduced me to so many Japanese designers I didn’t know about. She showed me so many places that I otherwise wouldn’t have visited otherwise by myself. There’s so much to explore!
