Overview

Spend some time with one of our hosts exploring the neon-lit city of Tokyo together. Maybe you’d like to discover the highlights of the neighborhood you’re staying in, or simply stroll through the lantern-lined lanes of Tokyo’s older districts. Action-lovers might be keen to catch a sumo match, or alternatively, get sky high and enjoy sushi with a view. There's no place quite like Tokyo, trust us. 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 local 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.

Tomo was an amazing...

Published on Sep, 2024

Tomo was an amazing guide! She is truly a gem. She corresponded with me over the summer prior to my trip to Japan asking of my interest and what I wanted to see. She was very accommodating and we hit all the high points across the city. I was able to see so many beautiful sites in my time here that I wouldn’t have been able to do by myself.
