Hi, I’m René, a Swiss native who found a new home in Tokyo four years ago. My journey to Japan began six years ago, and since then, I’ve been captivated by the city’s unique blend of tradition and modernity. Living in Tokyo with my wife, who grew up here, has given me a deep appreciation for the city’s culture, food, fashion, music, and hidden treasures. Every day, I explore Tokyo’s vibrant neighborhoods, uncovering secret spots, local delicacies, and cultural gems. My tours are all about sharing these discoveries—whether it’s guiding you through historic temples and shrines, bustling markets, or stylish backstreets. Each experience is designed to immerse you in the heart of Tokyo, offering insights into its lifestyle, history, and the stories that make this city so special. If you're looking to see Tokyo through the eyes of a local, join me for a personalized journey that showcases the city’s beauty, creativity, and energy.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

The Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, established in 1935, remains a lively hub of Tokyo’s culinary heritage. After the wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, the Outer Market preserved its charm, offering fresh seafood, traditional ingredients, street food, and kitchenware. Its narrow alleys and family-run stalls blend modern flavors with the spirit of old Tokyo. This food tour begins at the Honganji Temple and takes you deep into the heart of Tsukiji’s vibrant fish market. I’ll guide you to hidden spots and local favorites. We’ll visit the historic Namiyoke Inari Shrine, stroll through narrow alleys, and savor some of the freshest sea-and street-food Japan has to offer. Along the way, I’ll share stories of the market’s past and offer personalised recommendations to help you experience Tokyo like a local. This tour can also be combined with the private Japanese tea ceremony. Please send a request to get more details.
