Offered in: Japanese and 1 more

This isn’t a checklist-style shopping tour. It’s a curated Tokyo experience shaped around your style, led by a local host who knows where to find the best of Ginza, beyond just the designer labels. From minimalist Japanese fashion to craft stationery, handmade ceramics to premium skincare, you’ll shop the way Tokyoites do: intentionally, curiously, and with taste.

Before the day begins, you’ll complete a short questionnaire so we can match you with a host who shares your style and interests. They’ll reach out to plan your personalized route, whether that means hunting for vintage finds, niche beauty brands, or sleek homeware. Think of it as spending the day shopping with a well-connected friend who knows every stylish shortcut.
