The Perfect Tokyo Day with Johnny - Like Travelling with Family

Our day with Johnny was absolutely wonderful. My son and I instantly felt like we were exploring Tokyo with a cool family member who knows the city like the back of his hand. He thought of everything. Especially when it came to keeping a toddler happy, comfortable, and entertained. Johnny planned the day so thoughtfully. We visited a fun indoor play area (“Playground 4 Kids Shibuya”) which was perfect for my little one — and surprisingly cheap! He took us to Meiji Shrine for a gorgeous photo under the giant torii gate, wandered through “kawaii street” on Takeshita Street, and even introduced us to the sweetest Hamster and Hedgehog Café. One of my favourite moments was at Togo Shrine: watching huge koi fish, doing a fortune, making a wish, and exploring all the beautiful amulets. It was peaceful, meaningful, and so special. Throughout the day, Johnny adjusted our plans based on my son’s moods and what we were interested in. It made everything feel relaxed and perfectly tailored to us. He also introduced me to real, traditional mochi, which I absolutely loved! On top of all that, Johnny brought his own camera and took the most beautiful photos during the tour. They captured the day so naturally and are memories I’ll treasure. If you’re visiting Tokyo (especially with a child or family) I can’t recommend Johnny enough. Kind, fun, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our day with him.

A Wonderful Experience- the memories will last a lifetime

We had such a fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Melody. Travelling alone with a little one can be challenging, but he made everything feel easy and relaxed. He helped with the stroller, was patient and warm, and kept the whole day fun. A huge highlight was the professional photographer, Kai. He was incredibly friendly and had such a cool, effortless style (you can tell he works in fashion). He captured the most beautiful photos, ones I know I’ll cherish forever. It took all the pressure off trying to take pictures while juggling a toddler, and let me just enjoy the experience. We visited so many lovely spots; Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park, Pignic Café, Takeshita Street, the Noa purikura photo booth, Shibuya Crossing and Hachiko - and Melody also gave great suggestions for the rest of our trip. If you’re considering a “Tokyo Tour with Professional Photographer,” I can’t recommend Melody and Kai enough!! They made the day truly special.

An absolutely incredible tour- thank you, Melody!

I had the most wonderful day exploring Tokyo with our tour guide, Melody. It was just me and my 1 1/2 year old son, and I truly wouldn’t have been able to experience half of what we did without him. He made everything so easy, relaxed, and fun (even with a stroller and a sometimes-spirited toddler in tow!). Melody was unbelievably kind, warm, and patient. He didn’t just guide us; he genuinely looked after us. He helped carry the stroller, navigated busy streets effortlessly, and handled my son with such calm and care. It made the entire day feel stress-free and enjoyable. He showed us so many highlights of Tokyo, including Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park, the adorable Pignic Café, Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Noa purikura (the cutest photo booth!), Shibuya Crossing, and the Statue of Hachiko. Each stop felt thoughtful and perfectly tailored to exploring the city with a little one. Melody also gave us fantastic suggestions for the rest of our trip, which we’ve already started using. If you’re travelling with kids (or even if you’re not) I cannot recommend Melody highly enough. He made our Tokyo adventure truly special, and my son absolutely adored him. Thank you, Melody, for helping us create such beautiful memories!

Learning about Japan has never been easier with our local, expert tour guides leading the way, from a tour through Okayama, to the inner gems of Shikoku.

Ready to take on Japan’s sites and go beyond the usual? Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter is a beautifully preserved Edo-period district, and with a knowledgeable tour guide, you can encounter traditional architecture, willow-lined canals, and charming shops. From historical context, to share stories about the area, it’s time to see the land of the rising sun the right way.

To see a side of Japan not commonly noticed, talk to a local tour guide about peaceful pockets of relaxation like Iya Valley, a rugged setting with high cliffs, vine bridges, and traditional thatched-roof houses waiting to be explored.
