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
Tóquio possui uma das cenas de café mais interessantes do mundo. Ela abrange desde os kissatens, cafés tradicionais que abriram na década de 1960 e praticamente não mudaram desde então, até torrefações especializadas que moldaram a forma como a indústria pensa sobre extração e fornecimento de grãos. Este tour explora os dois lados dessa história, usando o café como forma de compreender como a cidade se transformou ao longo do tempo.
Em vez de seguir um roteiro fixo, a experiência é moldada em torno do bairro e do tipo de café que mais lhe interessa. Seu guia local seleciona as paradas, fornece contexto e ajuda a conectar a cena do café tradicional com a moderna. Uma boa xícara de café é fácil de encontrar. Saber onde procurar é outra história.
