About this tour
Craft your own Tokyo itinerary with a local guide over 6–7 hours, choosing three to four neighbourhoods that genuinely interest you. Rather than following a fixed route, you'll navigate the city by train and foot as residents do, stopping for wagyu lunch and dinner along the way. Your guide reveals the layered histories and contemporary energy that no map captures—from Shinjuku Gyoen's gardens to Shibuya's controlled chaos.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at a central location and decide together which parts of Tokyo to explore—whether that's historic temples, modern shopping districts, or quiet residential pockets. Expect a lot of walking punctuated by public transport rides; your guide handles navigation so you can absorb surroundings and chat with locals. Lunch and dinner involve wagyu at neighbourhood spots, not tourist restaurants. The pace is your own. You're seeing Tokyo as people who live here do, not ticking boxes.
