Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“The best guide in Tokyo ”

I travel a lot to Japan and have had the pleasure of using many guides. Kahoko san is the absolute best. She has an amazing bubbly happy personality, perfect English and deep knowledge of the city. She can plan a perfect day or two for you. She is just a delight to travel with. She was super nice with my teenage American daughter- and the Lord knows that can be challenging.. Simply a fantastic guide I would use every time I bring guests to Tokyo.

Thank you very much for the kindest review ! I had such a lovely time with two of you. I was relieved that he weather was not so bad as a day in rainy season. It was greatful for me making so many conversations with you about various topics. Actually I was able to learn so many things from you even about Japan. I am so impressed with your deep understanding and knowledge about our culture. Two of you will start new lives in different environments soon. I hope you will have a great time there. Thank you again and good luck!

“Great Tour with Great Company”

I had a great tour with Dai. He was very professional, friendly, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. He knows the city really well and shared a lot of interesting details along the way. I also liked that the tour felt natural and not rushed or too scripted. Dai was great company and made the tour a really nice experience. I would happily book with him again and can definitely recommend him.

“An Unforgettable Father and Son Anime Adventure”

My son and I booked Grant’s Tokyo Anime Full-day Tour as part of a special father and son trip before he starts university, and it exceeded every expectation. Before the tour, Grant took the time to understand my son’s interests, particularly JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Berserk, and rare collectibles. Rather than following a generic itinerary, he tailored the entire day around what mattered to us. His knowledge of Tokyo’s anime scene was exceptional, from hidden Mandarake locations to specialist stores that we never would have found on our own. The highlight was watching my son discover rare figures and merchandise that he had been searching for. Grant was incredibly patient, helping us navigate stores, speaking with staff, and making sure we did not miss anything. Those moments alone made the trip worthwhile. Beyond anime, Grant shared fascinating insights into Japanese pop culture, Akihabara, and the collector community, giving us a much deeper appreciation of the culture behind the hobbies. He paced the day perfectly, balancing shopping, sightseeing, and breaks, and his English was excellent throughout. This was far more than a shopping tour. It became one of the defining memories of our trip to Japan. If you have children or teenagers who love anime or manga, I cannot recommend Grant highly enough. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, flexible, and genuinely invested in making the day special. Thank you, Grant, for helping create memories that my son and I will treasure for many years to come. Five stars without hesitation.
