First of all it is important for participants to understand why we are here to do private tours. Our mission is to provide a "more meaningful authentic experience" to all that joins our "The REAL Local Tokyo for people who do not want AVERAGE" tour. Therefore our tours are different from others since: 1. We try our very best to make this package something that is nothing alike to the other average Tokyo tours you will see on many sites. 2. We try our very best not to pick spots that are solely designed to please the eye of a tourist(i.e. something that may look typical Japanese to overseas clients may sometimes be a form of fabrication in the eye of a local) 3. We try our very best to pick spots that are not overly crowded with tourists so that participants can enjoy "quality time in a quality space" instead of quantity time in an overly packed space. *a minimum of 2 people are required for this tour
