What to expect

Japan's first service of its kind.

Would you like to experience the real Tokyo
that no guidebook can show you?

First, meet your host and interpreter
at the station. Then ride the train or bus
together through real Tokyo streets
and alleyways — just like a local.

Which host family will it be today?
The excitement builds as you walk through
a real Japanese neighborhood, wondering
whose home you'll visit.

Then shop together at a local store,
discover real Japanese ingredients,
and cook an authentic home-cooked meal
side by side.

Finally, sit down and eat together
in a real Japanese home — around a real
family table, with real people.

This is not a tour.
This is not a restaurant.
This is not a cooking class.

This is Japan as it actually is.
