Private Custom Tokyo Tour
A fully private tour built around your group and nothing else: you tell us what you love, we design the day, and one of our English-speaking Tokyo locals guides only you. From classic east-side culture (Tsukiji, Asakusa, Skytree) to the cutting-edge west (Shibuya, Shimokitazawa, Shinjuku) — or a route nobody’s done before.

How it works
After you book, we ask about your group, your interests, and anything specific you’ve dreamed of doing in Tokyo. We draft an itinerary, refine it with you, and on the day your guide handles everything — trains, queues, ordering, reservations — so you just experience the city.
Two starting points we often build from: an east-side classic route (Tsukiji Market, Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree) for first-timers who want depth on the historical city; or a west-side route (the Shibuya crossing, vintage-shop Shimokitazawa, Shinjuku’s alleys) for the fashionable, current side of Tokyo. Most guests end up with something in between — and that’s exactly the point.
Think of us as your Tokyo concierge: guests regularly ask us for restaurant reservations and neighborhood advice for the days before and after the tour, and we’re glad to help.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private tour cost?
From $289 for the tour itself, varying with duration and group size — you’ll get an exact quote when we design your itinerary. Meals, tickets, and transit are paid as you go.
Can you pick us up at our hotel?
Yes — your guide can meet you at your hotel lobby anywhere reasonably central in Tokyo, or at any station or landmark you prefer.
What kinds of requests can you accommodate?
Almost anything legal and bookable: anime and game culture, knife shopping, sumo morning practice, vintage fashion, architecture, a themed day for a proposal or anniversary, kid-paced days, food deep-dives. If we can’t do something well, we’ll say so and suggest the closest great alternative.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable — it gives us time to design the itinerary together and secure reservations. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible; message us and we’ll try.
