What our customers say about us
A truly unique way to discover Japan!
Me and my partner really wanted to explore new places in Tokyo related to anime and retro games, and we got to discover some amazing spots we had never heard about. It felt like a local friend was showing us around!

A breath of fresh air!
My tour leader was full of history about the area. It was my first time in Japan and she showed me how easy it is to get lost in this city... so much to see!! Thank you for helping me enjoy my vacation not having to look at my phone for directions or reviews! Priceless.

Great local experience
We had a great time learning about the local culture in the town of Shibamata. Our tour guide helped us communicate with locals to try Japanese dango and green tea!
