Tokyo Private Tours

“Do Something New In Tokyo ...”

I've been to Tokyo and Japan many times, and on each visit there seems to be a new area to discover. Shimokitazawa seems to be new on the list for vintage clothing lovers now that Harajuku has become too touristy, so I decided to book Taro to show me around. Sadly it was a rainy night and the streets were not as lively as I would hope for - but that's a good reason for me to return. Taro took me around the various vintage stores, and it was interesting to revisit the record stores and see so much vinyl I had purchased in my youth and bring back many memories. We had something to eat in a tiny little bar, so typically Japanese, and the food was good. As the evening progressed it became more like being shown around by a friend. We ended up at Oleo bar, yet another tiny little bar which only a local could help you discover, and where the owner spun so many fantastic records I grew up with, the best disco and funk and hip-hop from the late 70's to the mid-80's, and by now it really was like having a night out with friends. If I hadn't of had a full day of trips lined up the following day, I would probably have kept going for hours. There's no doubt I will return to Shimokitazawa again, and I shall probably hook-up with Taro for another evening of drinks and great music. Thank you for the memories!

“Great introduction to Japanese culture”

Yutaka was a brilliant guide who took us efficiently from one location to another whilst giving excellent background across all locations. Highly recommend

“Tokyo Gardens and Shrines Oct. 2025”

We had a great tour with Yamasan! He was knowledgeable, entertaining and fun to be with. He took us to places we never would have discovered on our own. We would highly recommend him for a great day in Tokyo.

Thank you very much for your review comment. I am happy that I could introduce you to some parts of our daily life while walking and dropping in several local facilities in the residential area in my Bunkyo City. I hope you continue the wonderful tour in Japan.
