When the traffic lights turn red, hundreds to thousands of people cross from all directions at once, creating a dynamic and iconic scene. It’s a symbol of Tokyo’s energy and modern urban culture, often featured in movies and media.

5.00We joined the Tokyo tour and were amazed! The mix of tradition and modern life was fascinating at every stop, but Shibuya Crossing stood out the most. Our guide kindly took so many great videos for us amid the sea of people — it felt like being part of a movie scene! It was the perfect way to capture the energy and excitement of Tokyo while creating memories we’ll cherish forever.
The Perfect Way to Start a Trip in Japan

5.00This tour was the perfect way to get an overview of Tokyo and ease into Japan. The guide was incredibly helpful from start to finish — assisting with practical things like setting up an IC card, sharing great restaurant recommendations, and even suggesting places to visit in Kyoto after learning about my travel plans. It wasn’t just a sightseeing tour but a warm and supportive introduction to Japan. I’d especially recommend joining this on your first day — it makes the rest of your trip so much smoother and more enjoyable.
Yukou the best guide

5.00We took this tour led by the excellent Kanta Suzuki and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! It was a wonderful mix of seeing the hustle and bustle of Tokyo later in the day while getting a chance to experience the serenity and solemnity of the nature and shrines before the city had fully woken up. It involves plenty of walking, so be sure to bring good shoes and if you go in a warmer month, expect to sweat quite a bit as the day goes on 😅 Overall, we felt the tour helped us see some of the most popular tourism spots in Tokyo without feeling like we were just checking things off a list and was a good amount of activity without being too draining. We really appreciated Kanta's knowledge and opinions as a native Tokyo-ite, it added a lot to the experience to be able to ask questions about the various areas and get a local's opinion on it. Would highly recommend the tour!
Informative tour!

5.00A wonderful tour of Tokyo. We saw many important and interesting places. Our guide, Yukou, was very well prepared and helpful. Thanks to his answers to our questions, we not only got to know the places we visited better, but also found our way around Tokyo more easily during our entire stay. The pace of the tour was perfectly suited to our family, and communication in English was flawless.
