See Tokyo's coffee culture the way locals do, from retro kissaten that have been running for decades to the roasteries that changed the scene entirely.
Tokyo has one of the most interesting coffee scenes in the world. It runs from kissatens that opened in the 1960s and have barely changed since, to specialty roasteries that have shaped how the industry thinks about extraction and sourcing. This tour explores both sides of that story, using coffee as a way to understand how the city has changed over time.
Rather than following a fixed route, the experience is shaped around the neighborhood and the type of cafes that interest you most. Your Local Expert selects the stops, provides context, and helps connect traditional and the modern coffee scene. A good cup of coffee is easy to find. Knowing where to look is another matter.

The tour was a lot of fun. Akana was lovely to meet. I had a great time. She showed me parts of Tokyo I wouldn't of found on my own. She took me to two Kissaten, both unique places with only locals.
If you want a non touristy tour, with a tour guide with Chilled vibes, choose Akana :)

Overview
Tokyo vanta una delle scene del caffè più interessanti al mondo. Si va dai kissaten, le prime caffetterie aperte negli anni '60 e rimaste pressoché invariate da allora, alle torrefazioni specializzate che hanno plasmato il modo in cui il settore concepisce l'estrazione e l'approvvigionamento del caffè. Questo tour esplora entrambi gli aspetti di questa storia, utilizzando il caffè come chiave di lettura per comprendere come la città si sia trasformata nel tempo.
Anziché seguire un percorso prestabilito, l'esperienza si articola attorno ai quartieri e alle tipologie di caffè che più vi interessano. La vostra guida locale selezionerà le tappe, vi fornirà il contesto necessario e vi aiuterà a collegare la tradizione con la modernità del mondo del caffè. Trovare un buon caffè è facile. Sapere dove cercarlo è tutta un'altra storia.
Cibo e bevande, salvo diversa indicazione.
Possibilità di soste flessibili o modifiche all'itinerario, ove applicabile.
