move to Asakusa
Asakusa Nakamise Street / Try street local foods!
Nakamise Street is the most famous shopping street in Asakusa. The street runs for 250 meters on the main approach to Sensoji Temple and is lined on both sides with shops selling traditional souvenirs, snacks, and sweets.
Asakusa Sensoji / Visit the oldest temple in Tokyo
Sensoji Temple in Asakusa is the oldest and most famous temple in Tokyo with a history going back 1,400 years. This temple is dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and it is incredibly popular with millions of people visiting every year.
Ameshin, traditional Japanese candy shop / Let's try making a candy!
Ameshin, a group of candy craftsmen founded by Shinri Tezuka, is committed to upholding the tradition of Amezaiku, which is dying out due to a lack of successors, while at the same time bringing innovative never-seen-before creations into the world.
note: It's not private workshop. Other customers can join the workshop.
Dinner at a Okonomiyaki restaurant!
Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake and is made with vegetables, meat, seafood, and other ingredients, cooked on a griddle with flour-based batter and served with special sauce. While Kansai-style okonomiyaki is prepared by pre-mixing the ingredients and batter together before cooking, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is made by cooking the batter and ingredients in layers without mixing them on the griddle. Besides these two popular versions, similar dishes are found in other areas throughout the country.
Izakaya / Japanese style bar hopping!
Izakaya is a type of informal Japanese bar that serves alcoholic drinks and snacks. Izakaya are casual places for after-work drinking, similar to a pub, a Spanish tapas bar, or an American saloon or tavern.

“Amazing Tour ”
Wir hatten 1,5 wirklich tolle Tage in Tokio und können die Tour uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! In der kurzen Zeit haben wir unglaublich viel gesehen und erlebt – vieles davon hätten wir alleine wahrscheinlich gar nicht oder zumindest nicht so entspannt geschafft. Die komplette Organisation war super und wir konnten die gemeinsame Zeit einfach genießen, ohne uns ständig Gedanken über Wege, Tickets oder den weiteren Ablauf machen zu müssen. Auch um die Tickets für den Tokyo Skytree und Shibuya Sky wurde sich gekümmert. Besonders Shibuya Sky zum Sonnenuntergang war für uns ein absolutes Highlight und ein Erlebnis, das wir so schnell nicht vergessen werden. Neben den vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten fanden wir es besonders schön, auch einiges über das alltägliche Leben in Tokio, die Menschen und die japanische Kultur zu erfahren. Dadurch haben wir die Stadt noch einmal auf eine ganz andere und persönlichere Art kennengelernt. Die 1,5 Tage waren abwechslungsreich, entspannt und sehr gut organisiert. Wir haben die Zeit wirklich sehr genossen und würden bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Tokio jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Toshi buchen. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Zeit und die vielen schönen Erinnerungen!

Toshiyuki D.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed our time together in Tokyo. It was also a great help that you shared so openly and clearly in advance the places you wanted to visit and the things you wanted to experience. Thanks to that, I was able to plan the tour around what really mattered to you. And Shibuya Sky — we really couldn’t have asked for better timing! The forecast had been calling for rain all day, but somehow, just when we were there, the sky cleared up and we even got to see a rainbow. What are the chances of that happening?! It really felt like a little miracle. I believe the tour was such a success because of you and the wonderful energy you brought to it. Thank you again for trusting me with your time in Tokyo. I really enjoyed our time together and hope to see you again on your next visit! Vielen lieben Dank für eure wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut mich wirklich sehr zu hören, dass ihr unsere gemeinsame Zeit in Tokio so genossen habt. Es hat mir auch sehr geholfen, dass ihr mir im Vorfeld so offen und klar mitgeteilt habt, welche Orte ihr gerne besuchen und was ihr gerne erleben möchtet. Dadurch konnte ich die Tour genau nach euren Wünschen planen und mich auf das konzentrieren, was euch besonders wichtig war. Und beim Shibuya Sky hätten wir wirklich keinen besseren Zeitpunkt erwischen können! Für den ganzen Tag war eigentlich Regen vorhergesagt, aber ausgerechnet während unseres Besuchs klarte der Himmel auf – und dann erschien sogar noch ein Regenbogen. Wie oft erlebt man so etwas?! Das war wirklich ein kleines Wunder. Ich glaube, dass die Tour auch dank euch und eurer tollen Art so schön und erfolgreich geworden ist. Vielen Dank für euer Vertrauen und dafür, dass ich euch Tokio zeigen durfte. Ich habe unsere gemeinsame Zeit sehr genossen und würde mich riesig freuen, euch bei eurem nächsten Besuch in Tokio wiederzusehen!

“The best of the best highlights ”
This is actually my 2nd tour I took with Toshi, this time a much shorter tour. Toshi’s tour once again proves to pick the best highlights you must see, no time is wasted. Again, Toshi is also extremely knowledgeable and can answer any of your questions you may have. What really impressed me is that compared to the seven hour tour I took this three hour one was of the exact same quality! Overall Toshi is a great guide and I recommend him to anybody looking for a tour.
Toshiyuki D.
Thank you so much for coming back for a second tour! I really appreciate your kind words. If your friends will come to Tokyo, please do let me know! Of course, if you ever have a chance to come back to Japan, let’s definitely meet again!!

Japanese Local Bar & Izakaya Hopping in Shinjuku or Shibuya
Do you want to try delicious Japanese foods with beer, sake, wine or whiskey?? Tokyo has such a huge range of nightlife options that it can be overwhelming for first-time visitors, especially if you don’t speak Japanese. Start in a atmospheric, lantern-lined lanes of Japanese restaurant. Get exclusive access to a hidden bar and izakaya in Shinjuku or Shibuya that doesn’t allow general visitors.

Tokyo Museum and Architecture Tour!
Did you know that there are over 1,000 art museums in Japan and when you include museums of sorts, the total comes to over 5,700!? In this tour, I'd like to share insight into the rich, dynamic, and multifaceted world of Japanese museums. I'll select some of my favorite museums and tell their stories while offering an outlook on Japan's museum landscape today.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.
