This is not a typical Tokyo tour. Instead of following a fixed list of famous spots, you’ll discover hidden sides of Tokyo with your private local guide — like a friend showing you around their city. Walk through backstreets, step into small shops, take a break at a local café, and enjoy moments you won’t find in a guidebook. The day is fully tailored to your interests, whether that means food, culture, quiet neighborhoods, or simply wandering at your own pace. While the experience feels relaxed and flexible, your guide thoughtfully shapes the day so you can make the most of your time. About Us (Michitabi) We believe that who you explore with matters just as much as where you go. Our guides do more than lead the way — they create a personal, relaxed, and meaningful experience. Tomoki brings warm energy and easy smiles. Subaru is flexible and responds naturally to your requests and mood. Yuta is friendly, open, and makes exploring Tokyo feel like spending time with a friend.

Tour and Tea Ceremony

We had a lovely tour with Miyuki! Walked around Yanaka for a couple hours, then got to experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. As this tour was at the tail end of our trip, Miyuki was a great resource to answer questions or comment on observations we had made while exploring Tokyo.
