It is all customizable and super flexible. I am unsure of price levels because I don't have enough experience with that in Japan, but I did 3 tours and for me it was very well worth the money spend. Definitely recommended. Take care both!

This isn’t just a regular tour—my friend makes you feel like family and gives you a real experience of Tokyo. He took us to authentic local spots we never would’ve found on our own, beautiful temples, and showed us the nightlife. Naoki is super knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were having a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Tokyo. If you want to see the real side of the city and have an unforgettable time, I highly recommend booking with him. 10/10!

Naoki showed us around for my husbands birthday, and created a curated, specialized evening based on what we were looking for! Such a great night, with izakaya style restaurants, divey bar pit stops, ending the night at a local music bar where we literally danced and sang the night away. 1000 percent could never have found or experienced what we did without Naoki. We are from Washington state and so Naokis knowledge,  and bilingual skills were super pluses, 10/10.

It was like having an uncle for a day, Hajime-San was always checking in with me and we would pivot on the fly to whatever sounded like a fun thing to do. We biked around and ate all sorts of tasty snacks, and went sightseeing. I will probably rent an Ossan every time I come to Japan.

On the first day we explored a fish market, a beautiful non-touristy shrine, and a local shopping street. On the second day we went izakaya hopping, which was a fantastic experience. Minoru-san also went the extra mile to help me find the perfect tabi and a daruma. I had a great time—thank you!

We went on an adventure with a mix of local hidden gems and lively mainstream attractions.  He is an ideal friend for a solo traveler.  I felt comfortable navigating all around the city and got to experience the Japanese culture.  I highly recommend Naoki for future travels as he is extremely kind, fun, cool, knowledgeable and truly knows and loves his city.
