Corporate Outings in Tokyo
Corporate outings in Tokyo rarely go beyond the hotel bar. Your team has a free evening, the group chat has stalled, and nobody wants to plan. Book a guide, share the link, and the decision is made. They handle izakaya reservations, train navigation, and ordering in Japanese—you just show up at the lobby.
Why Choose This Experience
Because Nobody Volunteered
Someone suggested izakayas, everyone agreed, and then silence — because nobody wants to research which standing bars seat six, navigate Nakano's train connections, or order from handwritten Japanese menus. Your guide handles the entire evening so colleagues actually talk to each other instead of staring at Google Maps.
The Group Chat Dies Here
Someone suggests 'we should go out tonight,' three people say 'sure,' and then nobody picks a place. We're the pick. Book it, share the link, and the decision is made—no more 'I'm easy, whatever works for everyone'
One Receipt, Zero Splitting
The tour is one booking on one card. Food and drinks are pay-as-you-go at each venue, but the guide handles the tab logistics in Japanese—no fumbling with six cards at a counter designed for two
Places That Seat Groups Together
Most good izakayas have 4-seat counters. Your guide knows which spots actually fit a group at one table—not the ones where you're split across the room shouting over salary-men
Everyone's Covered
The vegetarian, the non-drinker, the one who's adventurous, the one who isn't. Your guide sorts all of it with the kitchen in Japanese before you sit down—nobody has to be the difficult one

What Our Guests Say
"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."
"He took me to hole-in-the-wall spots — a peppercorn specialist in Tsukiji, a Matcha beer spot. We finished at a rooftop foot bath with a beer and an amazing view."
"He took us where the locals go. Hidden spots he knew we'd enjoy, and a quaint yakiniku place with over the top wagyu beef."
"He took us to a little restaurant for 'nibbles and Sake' — three types. Later, an afternoon pastry. Then we finished at a pub for Japanese beer. Above and beyond!"

Your Journey
Hotel Lobby → First Round
Guide meets your group at the hotel lobby. No coordinating a meeting point, no figuring out which train line—everyone just walks out together. First stop is usually a standing bar or yakitori counter to break the ice between people who've been in meetings all day.
- Guide meets group at hotel lobby—no separate meeting point needed
- First venue: standing bar or yakitori counter
- Low-pressure start for people who've been in meetings all day
Main Izakaya — the Long Stop
Seated izakaya where the guide orders for the table in Japanese, flags dietary restrictions to the kitchen, and explains what's arriving. This is where the evening settles in—90 minutes, the kind of meal nobody would have found or managed to book on their own.
- Guide orders for the table in Japanese, handles dietary flags
- 90-minute seated dinner at a venue the group wouldn't find alone
- Explains dishes as they arrive—no guessing from a Japanese-only menu
Nightcap or Wind-Down
Optional third venue based on the group's energy. Could be a whisky bar, a late-night ramen spot, or a walk through a yokocho alley. The guide reads the room—if half the group is fading, they'll wrap it cleanly and get everyone to taxis or the station by 10:30pm.
- Optional third venue—whisky bar, ramen spot, or yokocho alley
- Guide reads the room and adjusts to group energy
- Everyone back to taxis or station by ~10:30pm
