This is not a tour about checking off sights.

It’s a journey through the spaces between people and places in West Tokyo.


From quiet forests to culture-filled streets,

from the pulse of modern Tokyo to neighborhoods where life slows down—

you walk not as a tourist, but as a temporary local.


Your guide is not a narrator, but a companion.

Through conversation, pauses, and shared moments,

the day naturally becomes your own Tokyo story.

09:00 AM

Meeting Point

Your Hotel Lobby in Tokyo

- our guide will meet you in the lobby or at the main entrance. We begin at a relaxed pace, adjusting to your comfort and the rhythm of the day.

09:30 AM

Meiji Shrine — Entering the Forest

Step into a deep forest hidden in the center of the city.

Here, the focus is not on sightseeing, but on sensing the space.

Your guide shares why Japanese people come to shrines, how Shinto shapes daily life, and what “quiet” means in Japanese culture.

11:30 AM

Shimokitazawa — Where Culture Is Born

Vintage shops, small bookstores, independent cafés.

Shimokitazawa is a place where personal taste creates culture.

As you walk through backstreets, your guide explains why creativity continues to grow here — not from trends, but from individuality.

01:00 PM

Local Lunch — Eating Everyday Tokyo

Lunch at a locally loved restaurant, not designed for tourists.

Through food, you experience how Tokyo residents eat, relax, and connect in daily life.

02:30 PM

Shibuya Crossing — The Present Moment of Tokyo

Thousands move at once, then disappear again.

More than a famous crossing, this is a symbol of speed, anonymity, and coexistence.

Your guide helps you read this scene as a reflection of modern Japanese society.

03:30 PM

Daikanyama — Space to Breathe

A calm, refined neighborhood where people focus on living well rather than fast.

Enjoy a short café break while reflecting on the day — connecting the quiet beginning with the vibrant middle and gentle ending.

About Tour Guide Rene F.

KONNICHIWA! I am Rene. I studied commerce and marketing at university and have already graduated. I also studied abroad in France, where I was deeply inspired by the positivity and openness of people from different cultures. Through that experience, I discovered the joy of connecting with others beyond language and cultural barriers.


Now, as a guide in Japan, I hope to share the authentic beauty and warmth of this country with visitors from around the world, while supporting and inspiring them during their journey!!!

Reviews

Taste of Tokyo

Had a quick layover in Tokyo on Christmas Eve and was greeted at the airport by Moe and Kei. They took me around town to some popular spots and catered to my requests. They were extremely helpful with everything and great company to have. I would definitely consider using the service again on my next trip to Tokyo.
