Tokyo tours with teenagers where their interests and your enjoyment happen at the same time. Routes designed so the 15-year-old isn’t bored and the parents aren’t dragged through another arcade.
Why Choose This Experience
The 15-year-old wants Akihabara arcades and Harajuku street fashion. The parents want to actually enjoy Tokyo. This tour finds where those overlap — rhythm games the whole family plays at Taito Station, Shimokitazawa vintage shops where teens hunt Gen-Z streetwear while parents browse 1950s Americana, conveyor-belt sushi where dropping plates triggers capsule toy prizes.
Gaming arcades where everyone tries rhythm games, street fashion parents find interesting, culture that connects to what teens already like
Parents aren't wandering behind while teens explore—activities engage both generations simultaneously in the same space
Strategic breaks at convenience stores, arcade rest stops, phone time built in—teens stay engaged instead of checking out
Fluent English-speaking guides who understand gaming, anime, and pop culture—they talk with teens, not at them
"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."
"Our daughter is in a wheelchair and Satoshi went out of his way to accommodate her needs. It felt like spending the day with a friend showing us around Tokyo."
"He made adjustments to the schedule as needed, stayed overtime to see the Skytree, and accommodated picky eaters through his expertise of local food."
"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!"
"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!"
"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."

EXPLORING TOKYO

GIRL IN HARAJUKU

LANTERNS, MEIJI SHRINE
Start where teen energy peaks. Multi-story Taito Station arcades with rhythm games at 100 yen per play, Super Potato for retro gaming, anime specialty stores. Parents explore alongside or hit nearby vintage shops.
Takeshita Street for Gen-Z fashion and Instagram-worthy treats. Purikura photo booths (500 yen) for ridiculous sticker photos. Walk backstreets to Shibuya Crossing—time the scramble light change for full effect.
Watch the city shift as neon signs light up. Navigate Omoide Yokocho's smoky alleyways where salarymen unwind over grilled skewers. Older teens explore Golden Gai's tiny bar maze (atmosphere only for under-20).
This is merely a suggestion. Your itinerary is fully bespoke.
