Private Tours for Colleagues in Tokyo Highlights
What Our Guests Say
"I'd been to Tokyo many times before and still had never seen or heard of most everything he included in our tour. We liked it so much, we immediately booked a second day!"
"It felt like we were touring with a friend who lives in Japan. Rina adapted the tour for our diverse group — kids from 7 to their 20s. Some of our best memories were things she improvised."
"My family wanted anime stuff and everything else jam packed into the day. Satoshi did not disappoint. My family is still raving about this tour days later!"
"Felt like we'd known him for years. Wanted an authentic lunch with no Ramen for a change — a 3rd floor Hot Pot Restaurant we never would have found."

Your Journey
Hotel Pickup & First Venue
Guide meets your group at hotel lobby. First venue is a standing bar or yakitori joint in Nakano or Shibuya—handwritten menus, local crowd, guide orders appetizers and first round while explaining what you're eating.
- Typical first stop: standing sushi or yakitori counter
- Guide handles ordering, explains dishes as they arrive
- 45-60 minutes including drinks and conversation
Second Neighborhood & Izakaya
Short train ride to next neighborhood—Ebisu, Kichijoji, or Nishi-Ogikubo depending on route. Seated izakaya with booth or table, more substantial dishes, sake tasting if the group wants. Guide reads energy and adjusts pacing.
- Typical dishes: grilled fish, tofu, seasonal vegetables, more skewers
- Non-drinkers have full menus of soft drinks and mocktails
- 60-75 minutes depending on group conversation flow
Final Venue or Return
If group has energy, one more quick stop at a standing bar or sake counter for nightcap. If not, guide navigates return to hotel via train or arranges taxis if group prefers door-to-door. Tour typically ends 10:00-10:30pm.
- Optional final venue: 20-30 minutes, lighter fare
- Guide ensures you're back safely—train directions or taxi coordination
- Typical food and drink spend: ¥4,000-6,000 per person total
