Enjoy the fused city life of the nostalgia and the modernity in old Tokyo
I can show you local hidden gems as well as popular tourists spots!
If you don't like to have only just a touristy experience in Tokyo, this tour can live up to your expectations! Be friends with local Japanese not only Google and SNS, be blended into Japanese culture and add more colors to your adventure!
Meeting Point
Kiyosumishirakawa Station
- Kiyosumishirakawa is known for a number of coffee shops in this area. Not like popular areas in central Tokyo ( such as Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku), Kiyosumishirawa remains some nostalgic vibe from its old townscape. There is a nice Japanese traditional garden called "Kiyosumi Teien." I can take you to rental yukata (or kimono) store to dress in those "wahuku" so let's go to the garden wearing traditional clothes and take beautiful photos for your instagram;) Restaurants in Kiyosumishirakawa varies from the old ones to the modern ones as well as coffee shops! Also, you can try delicious Japanese traditional sweets in Kiyosumishirakawa if you are interested! There is a nice "sento (a small hot spring facility)," a nostalgic walkway along Sendaibori river called "Matsuo Basho Walk Path," and "Fukagawa Edo Museum." You can definitely enjoy the fusion of its oldness and modernity in Kiyosumishirakawa.

“A Fun Filled Day in Tokyo With The BEST Guide Ever”
I wish I was a better writer so I could do justice to just how wonderful Ayaka is, but I will do my best. We chose her because we really wanted our teenage daughters to get to spend a day like a typical Tokyo teenager. Ayaka customized the perfect day for us after I made my requests and it really was the best day ever. We just got back to the hotel from the “tour” and I wanted to write this review right away to express my appreciation. She took us shopping to so many cool stores we would not have been able to find on our own. The Wagyu beef bbq restaurant she recommended for lunch was absolutely perfect. She taught us all how to operate and play the taeko drum machines, claw machines, and Photo Booth at the arcade. We accidentally booked the wrong location for the Mipig cafe, and she was able to call and fix our mistake and make sure we still got to see the pigs. She is the world’s best karaoke partner. She even helped make appointments for other things that we needed later in the week. Of note- we have traveled all over the world and in our most exotic places we put ourselves in the hands of local guides. We always choose ones who advertise as fluent in English- and we have learned that depending on the country and the guide we selected, the actual fluency of the guide can vary. Ayaka was a Communications major at a university in California- her English is flawless. We absolutely adored her, and we hope from the bottom of our hearts that if she ever comes to our hometown of New Orleans that she will let us take her out for as perfect a day as she arranged for us. We will be returning home to Japan and we absolutely intend to make sure to book her for our entire trip.

“Thanks for being a great guide!”
Yaya was both exceptional and accommodating. We had plenty of fun and delight between arcade games, izakaya food, and karaoke. She was also a great singer and socialite -- I hope to make more memories with her in the future!

“Fun Day in Tokyo!”
Aya-san was very nice and we had a great time together. It was like going around Tokyo with a good friend. I could enjoy very much and whilst seeing the sights of Tokyo. I would highly recommend her and hope to see her again soon.
