Tokyo custom tour

Great places, went to all the areas we mentioned we were interested in. Kura sushi was fun, Kappabashi was great to stroll through. Finding a coffee lab in a secret spot was so unique. Omotesando shopping was upscale and resale place was amazing. Yuma was full of fun facts and English was excellent.

A perfect day ….

Yuma was amazing young man who knew the city so well and did a great job of reading what we would like to see. One of the best spots in was the coffee shop Koffre Mameya was perfect as I love the science of coffee. He is friendly and very well spoken. Best wishes to Yuma.

Best Way to See Tokyo in a Short Time!

We only had a short time in Tokyo, so the 6hour tour was perfect. We told the guide we wanted to see Shibuya's highlights and find some unique souvenirs, and they created a personalized route just for us. It was efficient, fun, and completely tailored to our wishes.

Operator response

Young people connecting in Tokyo.

Sakura created a great tour that was centered around my 17 year old Twins. We focused on the things they were interested in. We played video games and claw. Street food, authentic Sushi in a local spot, and Anime fun photos. She had a great connection with our family by the end of the day. My daughter said she was the best guide we’ve ever had.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this heartwarming review! We’re thrilled to hear that your twins had such a fun and personalized experience—Sakura had a great time tailoring the tour to their interests, from games and anime to street food and sushi. She felt a genuine connection with your family too, and your daughter’s comment truly means the world to her. We’re so glad we could help create a memorable day in Tokyo. Please come back and visit us again anytime!

Wonderful guide!!

I joined a private tour in Tokyo and had an amazing experience thanks to our guide, Sakura. She was incredibly attentive and flexible, always listening carefully to our wishes and adjusting the plan to suit our needs. When my wife became tired from walking, Sakura kindly changed the itinerary and took us to a hidden local spot that only Japanese people would know about. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and care. This tour became one of the highlights of our trip to Japan!
