First time in Japan? Or maybe you’re already a fan of Japanese culture?
Join my private 2.5–3 hour Tokyo tour, customised just for you!
We’ll explore public transportation together, so you’ll feel confident navigating on your own later. I’ll create a course that matches your style—whether you’d like to see the big must-see spots, escape the crowds and enjoy quiet hidden gems, or taste the best of the season. Not sure what to pick? No problem! I’ll send you photo ideas and you can choose from there. If you don’t select a course, just let me know your interests or requests—I’ll design the tour for you.
Since I need to plan your tour with you, please be sure to check and reply to my emails—otherwise I may not be able to accept your booking.
Want to add lunch? I can take you to local restaurants where Japanese people really eat (meal not included). You can also choose an optional day trip to Kamakura, a historic seaside town older than Tokyo. Check the “Options” page for details!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Traveller pickup is offered. Once you have booked your experience, I'll send you a message via Viator in order to discuss the meeting point and your tour details with you. We can arrange pick up from hotels and other locations in the centre of the city. Your meeting point must be confirmed and agreed upon by me in advance. To take you to fascinating attractions, we may travel by train.
