People say Tokyo is the city with the most record shops in the world. But these shops are scattered around the city and most of them are hidden at the corner of the street. Your guide support your treasure hunt. I know Tokyo street and I can translate you and store staff. I'm a long time Jazz fan and I have general knowledge of all genre music. Let's dig your records from the city of music treasure. After digging, I will bring you the good record bar according to your favorite music genre.

Shopping in Ginza for Tokyoite use in their daily lives & Handmade chopsticks experience
The biggest advantage of having me as your private guide is that I can simulate life as if I were a local. For example, we can show you the tools and fashions that Japanese people use in their daily lives. You will be captivated by the delicate and hospitable lineup of Japanese products. And don't worry about getting lost in the complex train lines; you can explore Tokyo like a local, using the subway and other means.
