Greetings from Tokyo! With over 20 years of guiding experience in Japan, 15 in Tokyo, I am extremely excited at the prospect of showing you my back yard. This place is awesome! There was once a time when I was seeing this great metropolis for the first time. I recall how in awe I was of not just the traditional, cultural and historical sides to Tokyo, but the the everyday aspects of life here, too. As a longterm expat, I therefore share unique perspectives of Tokyo, mixing anecdote along with historical and cultural information. I'm sure that I know what will impress you! On my tours, we will be sure to hit highlights of the city - day or night, immersing ourselves in its historic, modern and culinary charms. I am, of course, happy to cater for specific requests - please feel free to let me know, so that I can create the best day/s possible for you during your time in Tokyo! Wherever you are from, please come and share a little about yourselves as I share a LOT about one of the greatest cities on earth! I look forward to hearing from you.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

An evening in Tokyo's most famous nightlife district, Shinjuku. This intense area is everything you imagined of Tokyo after sundown - buzzing with excitement, you'll find narrow alleyways filled with bustling eateries, colourful signs galore, giant overhead TV screens, intimate bars, raucous karaoke joints and classy department store lined avenues - all drenched in neon. I would be delighted to share an evening with you, experiencing the intensity of Shinjuku, yet at a leisurely pace. We'll be sure to allow time for photography along with food and drinks at 2 different izakaya - Japanese-style tapas restaurants.
