Overview

Tailor your Tokyo experience with a private tour built completely around your interests. Choose from 4 to 8 hours and explore only the places you truly want to visit, at a pace that suits you.

Go beyond the typical tourist route and discover Tokyo’s local subcultures, with the option to visit off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods such as Shimokitazawa or the cat-filled grounds of Gotokuji Temple. This tour is ideal for travelers who want a deeper, more personal side of the city.

Unlike standard tours, there are no buses, no rushed group schedules, and no fixed route. You’ll experience Tokyo the way locals do—using the city’s efficient subway system and walking through hidden streets and neighborhood paths that most visitors never see.
