10:00 AM

Meeting Point

Your Hotel in the 23 wards or closest train Station. I like to start the tour around 10 to avoid rush hour and make it less stressful for the kids.

- Depending on your hotel location we can meet at Shinjuku station, your hotel or directly at Shibuya. Depending on your location, we can also add the 43rd floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building into the tour as well. This is a “wow” factor for the kids seeing a 360 degree view of Tokyo and seeing how massive Tokyo really is. Also we can do an orientation to help you family navigate the transportation system here and also how to use Suica/PASMO cards. I play a game at a convenience store: If the kids can buy a treat using Japanese then I buy it and let them keep it.

Shibuya

See the famous Shibuya crossing and Hachiko Dog. If there are teenagers in the group then they may love to see famous fashion shops.

There is also the Pokemon/Nintendo shop, claw machines at games centers and a toy capsule shop that the kids will love.

Tokio Food Mall is also right next to the station if you would like to pick up Japanese food to enjoy in Yoyogi Park.

Harajuku Takeshita Dori

Youth culture is on show here with the lively Takeshita street. We can enjoy crepes, long potatoes and giant cotton candy.. Also a wonderful cat cafe ( Some of my guests prefer to not go to the animal cafes in Harajuku for ethical reasons. I completely understand. I’m happy to take guests to other animal cafes upon request but the cat cafe is the only one that I’m personally ethically ok with in regards to animal welfare).

Yoyogi Park

The lively and beautiful Yoyogi park in Tokyo. Located right next to Meiji Shrine. This can also be a drop off point to enjoy lunch and wander around. Depending on the season we can see Autumn leaves or the beautiful cherry tree blossoms.

Meiji Jingu

The famous Meiji Jingu where we will walk to the temple and teach you how the Japanese pray. This is where I play a Japanese game with the children whilst also explaining the historical significance of this amazing, sacred place to the adults of the group.

Optional : Shinjuku Station and Godzilla head

The busiest station in the world. Some of my little guests are fascinated with trains so this is an option for them . Also there is a big Godzilla head on the side of a building that some of the little ones have greatly enjoyed seeing.

Ending Point

Drop Off Hotel or Train Station or Yoyogi Park. It’s completely dependent on where is the best place for your family.

About Tour Guide Dan C.

Hi I’m a friendly Australian living in Japan for 20 years. I work as a Kindergarten teacher here so I design my tours to be very Family Friendly: stress free for the parents and exciting for the kids. I particularly love to make little packs filled with goodies for the kids so they can experience what Japanese kids do. I want my guests to experience a real Japan and I love teaching Japanese to the little ones. * Children with special needs and/or mobility issues are especially welcomed. I can make accommodations and plan a tour based on their unique needs.

Perfect guide for young families!

Dan brought so much energy and enthusiasm from start to finish. He was able to bring the Japanese culture to life for our 8 and 10 year old kids in the best way. Dan curated our day based off my kids personalities and we were thrilled with our tour!

Walking tour with kids

Dan was our guide for our second day in Japan. He was in touch and quickly responded throughout the planning phase. He was flexible with what we wanted to achieve throughout the day and suggested some great ideas. Can called the day before to check we were comfortable with the meeting point and confirm plans. Upon meeting Dan my family were completely impressed that he knew each of their names and we started on our adventure. I was able to relax and enjoy the sights without worrying about timeframes, trains or locations. Dan took charge of it all and kept the children entertained the whole way! He had a stash of games, lollies and hilarious jokes to make for an enjoyable day. Dan helped us get our Suica cards and taught us some great tips for moving around using public transport. We had a great day with Dan and he set us up for a great trip. He even checked in after our tour and gave us a tip of somewhere to visit in other cities. My children 10,8 and 4) continue to talk about the fun day we had with Dan. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Dan guide us again!

A Wonderful Tour with Dan!

We had an incredible experience on our tour with Dan! From the very beginning, he greeted us with a warm smile, and we immediately knew it was going to be a fantastic day. Dan was extremely engaging and interactive, answering all our questions and providing insightful explanations about Japanese culture. My son especially enjoyed learning phrases in Japanese and collecting little treats throughout the day. Dan was fantastic with kids, creating a fun and educational atmosphere for everyone. His professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge of Tokyo made the day even more special. I highly recommend this tour, especially for families—it's the perfect introduction to Tokyo and Japan that caters to both adults and children!
