Staffed by a lovely student - very helpful. She told us how we would have to get to the nearby temple. A Russian studying Japanese literature so must be intelligent!

We had a wonderful day with Takashi as our guide. We visited Arakura Sengen Park and Shrine, 4th Station, Wind and Ice Caves, Mt Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and Oishi Park. We were very lucky and got to see Mt. Fuji all day. Takashi was very knowledgeable about all sites and the history of Japan and we would highly recommend this tour.

Shopping in Tokyo is no ordinary experience. It takes tenacity, willpower and strong arms (to lift all your bags). And it takes one of our hosts to show you where to find what you’re looking for!

From cutting edge fashion boutiques to beautiful department stores to futuristic electronics, Tokyo has it all! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Inclusions: Private and personalised experience, 5 hours with a Local Host, Walking experience (if required, your host can suggest public transport or private taxi options), Hotel meet-up (available on request for central location)

Went on this tour with friends and had a great time! I've been to Shibuya a few times before but I am not very familiar with the bars /izakayas in the area. Our guide, Yukino-san, was very accommodative and easy to talk to and overall made the tour a very enjoyable experience. She took us to a neat place frequented by many locals, with an easy-going atmosphere and lots of great food to choose from, so that was a great discovery! Would definitely like to try some of the other tours if I ever get the chance.

Allow your host to introduce you to the quirky underbelly of one of the world’s most wonderful and outlandish cities as you go to places like the Museum of Parasites (informative, and slightly crawly, we admit) or the crazy, committed cosplay districts like Akihabara. Head to a themed snake cafe where you can cuddle up to a slithery friend over coffee and if that's not for you there’s also hedgehog and owl cafes! Round off your time in Piss Alley which despite its misleading name, is actually a super eccentric alleyway home to many izakaya pubs! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You'll also agree on a meeting time and place.
