Hello, I’m Haiyan. Welcome to Japan!I live in Tokyo with my dog. I truly believe every encounter is special, and I cherish meeting travelers from around the world. Japan is a country with a unique cultural background, many social rules, and limited English communication in some situations, so I would like to applaud your courage for taking the adventure to visit this country. Trains are usually very quiet, and even when people talk, they speak softly. In many restaurants or cafés, entering without ordering something may be considered impolite. People also tend to follow schedules and rules carefully, and some places still accept cash only. These are all part of Japan’s unique culture and daily life. I have over 8 years of guiding experience, speak Japanese, English and Chinese and previously lived in the United States for 3 years, so communication is always easy and comfortable. Whether you’re traveling solo or with family, I create fully customized itineraries based on your interests — from must-see highlights to unique local spots. This is a fully private, VIP-style experience, designed exclusively for you and your group, with no other guests involved. My goal is simple: to help you laugh, explore, take great photos, and enjoy Japan like a local. Hope to meet you soon! Haiyan

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Join me for a relaxing evening exploring a traditional Japanese food street in Ikebukuro, where locals gather after work to eat, drink, and unwind. During this 3hour experience, we’ll walk through a lively street filled with small restaurants and hidden alleys that most tourists would never find on their own. This area is known for its authentic atmosphere and long-standing local eateries. After exploring the street, we’ll stop at a long-established izakaya loved by locals. Here you’ll enjoy delicious Japanese dishes and drinks while learning about Japan’s food culture, dining traditions, and the role izakayas play in everyday Japanese life. It’s a simple but authentic experience—great food, local atmosphere, and stories about Japanese culture shared over a drink.
