Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“A day full of adventure combined with learning local customs taking in the sights. Most amazing guide ever ”

We had the most incredible experience in Japan thanks to our amazing tour guide Dai. From the moment we met, he was warm, knowledgeable, organised, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of Japan. Our day was thoughtfully planned, balancing famous sights with hidden local gems we never would have discovered on our own. Dai’s knowledge of Japanese history, traditions, food, and local customs made every experience so much richer and more meaningful. Dai was also incredibly patient, helpful, and attentive. What truly stood out was his ability to turn a day into an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, learning, and wonderful memories. We felt completely looked after from start to finish. If you’re travelling to Japan and want an authentic, seamless, and memorable adventure, we could not recommend Dai more highly. Thank you for making our trip so special, we will treasure these memories forever! Also thank you for your extra help in sourcing a specific knife for our son who is a head chef in Australia.

“Visit to Sumo Museum, and Famous Kiyosumi Garden”

Thank you sooo much to Mr Yamasan for arranging a very interesting and informative morning indeed. I really appreciated his general knowledge and grasp of the English language. It was a fun time and Yamasan was very kind and prepared for the tour well. Hontoo ni arigatoo gozaimashita.

Thank you very much for your great comment. It was a very short tour, and most of the museums in Tokyo were closed on that day. I was wondering how I could satisfy you in the limited time; however, at Fukagawa Edo Museum, we could feel like being in an Edo town, and there were also displays regarding Sumo. It was especially nice, since we visited the Sumo town of Ryogoku and saw some Sumo wrestlers first that morning.

“Very friendly, great communication and great service ”

We had a wonderful stress free time touring the Tokyo with Tak over 4 days. He created a fantastic itinerary that worked for us and our 20 year old daughter and boyfriend. He was quick to change plans as needed and always happy to answer our many questions. Would absolutely book a tour with him again.

Getting a new challenge is always appreciated for a guide like me. I search online, visit places, and imagine how I can explain things well. Through this process, I find new, wonderful places to show to future guests as well. These four days with your family gave me so many great experiences. Showing Ueno and Yanaka from a cultural lens, finding a shop for an authentic Shinobue flute, bar-hopping with small surprises, and on the last day, taking you to Nakano Broadway to fully satisfy your daughter and her boyfriend's GEEK hearts. I had some trial and error, and sometimes I was secretly sweating with nervousness! lol But in the end, seeing your happy faces made all my preparation worth it. Please visit Tokyo again, and get in touch with me. Next time, the beer is on me!
