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. Yuta brings warm energy and easy smiles. Tomoki is flexible and responds naturally to your requests and mood. Subaru is friendly, open, and makes exploring Tokyo feel like spending time with a friend.

What are people saying about Yanaka

Vicente_C, Apr 2026

Our Yanaka walking tour...

Our Yanaka walking tour with Junko was phenomenal, and the perfect introduction to our trip in Tokyo (and Japan). Junko was very knowledgeable, accessible and answered all our questions. She had a deep knowledge of the neighbourhood which she used together with her historical knowledge of Japan. We learned a lot and had a great time!
