What makes this experience special • ✅ Completely private – only your group • ✅ Fully customized to your taste, pace, and mood • ✅ No fixed itinerary – every night is different • ✅ Local-only venues you wouldn’t enter by yourself • ✅ Hosted by a Tokyo local known as Mr. Tokyo Team This is not a scripted tour.

50th birthday Japan trip

We had an awesome time with Mr Tokyo Tours. Meeting up was simple. He showed us around Shinjuku, provided us with the history of the city, took us to hidden Izakayas, which was very enjoyable. And a bonus was the surprise birthday shutout, Thank you. If your looking for a tour guide, I do recommend Mr Tokyo Tours. If your from Australia like us, note that the price is set in USD, so that is double for us in terms of payment. But if your sharing the cost between friends, then its doable. We also booked a shopper via Mr Tokyo to help us with shopping the next day and that was amazing. We really enjoyed having Hitome with us. Thank you Mr Tokyo Tours. 😊

Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Mr. Tokyo when you’re visiting Japan. He was great! He took us to some amazing restaurants. Introduced us to some great local bars and fun spots. Also visited a magical shrine and we learned all its history and taught us the proper way to pray. This was our first time visiting Tokyo and I have to say it felt great being shown around by someone with so much knowledge of the area.

Mr. Tokyo Shinjuku Tour

This was the best tour we had! Mr. Tokyo(Shota) took us to the real Shinjuku local spots with the best food! He took the time to ask as what we were looking for and made sure the spots fit our taste buds! He was super welcoming and made us feel comfortable as he led the way through all the cool parts of Shinjuku. Golden Gai was the highlight but all the food spots were delicious! We really enjoyed our time in this tour and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Tokyo. This is a must do tour, Mr. Tokyo will customize your tour and deliver on a great experience!

Best tour ever

We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide in Japan. From start to finish, he were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and organized. He shared fascinating historical and cultural insights that made every destination much more meaningful, while also making sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. His recommendations for local food, attractions, and hidden gems were excellent and truly enhanced our trip. His enthusiasm, patience, and attention to detail made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you for helping create unforgettable memories!

Outstanding Tokyo Experience with Mr. Tokyo

Our time in Tokyo was made truly special thanks to Mr. Tokyo. From the very first meeting, he felt less like a guide and more like a local friend sharing his city with us. What stood out most was his energy, knowledge, and ability to take us beyond the typical tourist experience. He showed us hidden streets, local favorites, and parts of Tokyo that we would never have discovered on our own. Whether we were exploring Asakusa, walking through Shinjuku, hunting for unique food, or simply learning about everyday life in Japan, every moment felt authentic and personal. He was incredibly patient, engaging with both adults and children, and always happy to answer questions about Japanese culture, history, and modern life. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his love for Tokyo shines through in everything he does. If you’re looking for a guide who can help you experience the real Tokyo, not just the landmarks, I highly recommend Mr. Tokyo. He turned our visit into a collection of memories that will stay with us long after we’ve returned home. Thank you, Mr. Tokyo, for helping us see Tokyo through local eyes. — Ameer from Saudi Arabia

The Best Tour Guide Ever!!!

Yuuki was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! I’ve traveled to many countries and booked many tours, but he was by far the best guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many useful tips that only a local would know. Every place he took us to was somewhere we never would have found on our own, and the food was absolutely delicious. I recommend him 100000%🔥

A great night in Shinjuku with Mr. Tokyo himself!

We had an incredible night with Shota! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and spent a night with Shota touring a bunch of spots in Shinjuku. Not only does he know his stuff, and will take you to some awesome bars and restaurants you wouldn't find otherwise, but he is also just a fun time and a great hang. We really enjoyed sharing our cultures and learning about Japan over some excellent food and drink. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

Have fun seeing the real Japan tourists usually miss

Sho (Mr Tokyo) knows his stuff. We went to a series of really cool, interesting and delicious spots. Upstairs or down hidden alleyways through unmarked doors. We had great sushi in one spot, then cooked our own Wagyu in another, then a little bar in a special alleyway for these sake sours that were excellent. Finished upstairs in a small bar with an impeccably dressed bartender and some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Take this tour!
