What To Expect
Uenokoen
Ueno Park, located in Ueno, is the first park ever established in Tokyo. Enjoy the beautiful nature and visit the shrines within the park to experience Japan’s rich history. You can also see beautiful cherry blossoms! Near the park, there’s a local market with lots of small shops. It’s not like Shibuya with all the latest stores, but that’s exactly the charm of Ueno—you can feel a more authentic side of Japan. You can try some street food, pick up souvenirs, or just enjoy a walk around the area.
Kiyosumi Teien
We’ll head to Kiyosumi Shirakawa, a tranquil neighborhood that feels worlds apart from the bustling city of Tokyo. There is a park called Kiyosumi Garden. You can feel the nature of Japan. You can slowly enjoy the beauty of Japan in the peaceful quiet away from the city center.

5.00Emiri is an excellent tour guide and so much fun to hang out with a tour of Tokyo. She provides amazing suggestions to explore after the tour. I would highly recommend!
Highly Recommended Tour!

5.00I traveled to Tokyo in March 2025 and took a tour with Emiri — and it was absolutely worth it. Even though the weather was really bad that day (cold and raining nonstop), we still had a great time thanks to her. We enjoyed delicious local ramen at a small neighborhood restaurant, and later went on a shopping tour around Higashi-Ikebukuro, which was super fun and full of interesting anime spots. Emiri was incredibly helpful the entire time — she explained everything clearly, helped with translations, and made the day easy and enjoyable despite the weather. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo. 🌟

A Major Highlight of Our First Trip to Japan!

5.00We had the best time touring Tokyo with Emiri! From the time we booked to the tour, Emiri was very helpful and highly communicative. This was our first trip to Japan, so having someone as chill and knowledgeable as Emiri made us feel at ease. Plus we had a lot of fun! We’re so glad we found her channel on YouTube a few months before our trip. Favorite memory: She taught us how to pray at a shrine and took pictures of us while we prayed - these are some of my favorite pics from our trip. Emiri took us to one of her favorite sushi restaurants, too, and it was top notch! Our tour with Emiri was a major highlight of our trip! I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo.

5.00Emiri did a wonderful job tailoring the tour to what I requested, and made the experience unique. I believe there will be areas and spots where it will be hard for a tourist to find or explore without a local guide, and Emiri delivered on that front. She was also very knowledgeable and was able to give suggestions outside of our tour as well.
A Tour Worth Every Step

5.00From start to finish, our tour with Emiri was a fantastic experience. When we were planning the tour, Emiri created a unique itinerary for our tour that was tailored to our interests. Emiri communicated thoughtfully and responded to emails in a timely manner. For the tour, it was a fantastic experience. We choose a 4 hour tour, but we could have definitely done an 8 hour tour. Emiri is an absolute delight. She is fun, informative, and really personable. She was always taking our enjoyment into consideration. Not rushing and even changing the itinerary on the fly based on what we wanted to do. And we got to practice our broken Japanese! 日本語がまだまだで、すみません 😅
Cannot wait to go again!

5.00We spent an entire day with Emiri and it was an experience unlike any other. We went through a few different prefectures, checking out local shops and restaurants, trying foods I never thought I would try before. Emiri helped navigate through busy streets and public transportation to help give us a tour that was tailored to our interests. There were so many sights, experiences and memories that I'll hold dear for the rest of my life. We miss it so much!
Fun experience!

5.00Great tour guide, very informative and fun to talk to. Knows history about locations very well and a great food expert. I typically book a new tour with Emiri on every trip I make to Japan.
