Free Walking Tour in Tokyo

Shinji, original from Hokkaido, has lived in Asakusa for 3 years and did an awesome job showing us around this charming neighbourhood. He came prepared with a clear schedule and itinerary and pictures to put into context the history of the area (fascinating!) and the differences between Shintoism and Buddhism. He also started the tour with a fun game to quiz our knowledge of Japan which was a fun ice breaker. We did the 5pm tour so some of the businesses were already closed, but the area was also quieter than during the day so it was more charming and the illuminated buildings were stunning!! Would recommend coming a little earlier if you want to do shopping independently. Shinji is super friendly and easygoing, spoke much better english than our other Japanese guides and also gave us PDFs with useful franchise and food recommendations at the end of the tour! Would recommend!

The tour with Luana was amazing! We have learnt a lot, had fun and took great pictures. Also, we had time for plenty of questions.

Bertrand was outstanding and the tour was amazing. Different part of Tokyo, great commentary, very interesting and enjoyable!

Es war eine tolle Tour und wir hatten sehr viel Spaß. Der Guide von Wabisabi war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Er hat sich viel Zeit genommen unsere Fragen zu beantworten und interessante Hintergrundinformationen zu berichten. Die Tour ist modern gestaltet. Sehr empfehlenswert!

I don't remember her name but I remember that she was originally from Ukraine. She was excellent. what I liked especially was the fact that she knew how to "translate" Japanize reality and make it understood to us who are coming from different cultures.

Apparently I was the first one that booked this tour so it’s a brand new route. It was very fun to explore a new area I’ve never heard about and our guide Nana was a wonderful and a very fun person.

It’s amazing area, thank you

Estuvo increíble y súper interesante!! Nos encantó todo y también su prefedionalismo!!

This tour was a great introduction to Shibuya and the surrounding areas. Bertrand was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, answered all our questions, and gave recommendations throughout. We felt confident exploring further following the tour--would definitely recommend it!

We would never have been able to find the amazing spots and order the traditional (and) trendy food Scott did for us on this tour on our own! Such a great experience, sake tasting, plum wine, whiskey, a traditional Izakaya stop and a hip food spot for seafood, tempera, even local horse meat if you wish!!! Scott explained traditions but kept the tour upbeat which made for a super fun three hours. Honestly, we’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Me pareció muy interesante el tour y aprendí sobre la cultura de Tokio. Nuestro guía Bryant realmente nos explicó todo muy bien Super recomiendo hacer el tour con él.

Oliver provided an excellent walking tour!

Thank you very much for your tour! I was really shocked by a variety of establishments you showed me. I would have never known what is going on in there without your guidance. Your tour was so informative and lots of fun. I enjoyed a lot. Thank you again!!

Friendly, easygoing and engaging. Great to have the contrast between ancient and contemporary architecture. Daniel was very willing to take interesting detours to suit the interests of those who came for the tour.

The host is nice but the tour itself doesn't show many things too see as the palace is not really open to public. It also need a lot of walk and at the end you spend most of your time walking in the park. I think this tour need to be combined with the history of the train station to make it more interesting.

Very well done tour! Thanks Shaha.

We joined Kai’s Shinjuku tour and had a great experience. He combined history with insights into the Japanese lifestyle and answered all our questions. We loved the tour, highly recommend!

I really enjoyed the tour with Johnny. We visited the overwhelming area of Shinjuku, visiting the popular memorial lane and the even bigger area with lots of small bars. In between we visited some other modern buildings and also had a great view from one of those. Johnny was giving lots of good recommendations concerning restaurants and was so helpful answering all questions that came up during the tour. I can highly recommend the tour! ☺️

Lo mantuvo muy entretenido! Toda una showman!

Our tour with Scott was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, we were captivated by his deep knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and everyday life. Scott’s insights went far beyond what any guidebook or tourist experience could offer, making us feel truly immersed in the local way of life. His warm personality and attention to detail made every moment enjoyable, and we left with a genuine appreciation for Japan’s rich heritage. If you’re looking for an authentic and personal journey through Japan, we highly recommend Scott’s tour. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

On time, informed and knowledgeable Good job

Oliver is great! Guiding us from Hachiko all the way to Meiji Shrine sharing info on historical facts and past events. Recommend it!

If you‘re into Anime and Graphic stuff you should totally join this tour! Very unexpected place and learned a lot unusual things about Japan! Can recommend this 🙏🏻

Está bien para una primera impresión

Lovely time with Manato! He taught us all the customs associated with the shrine (and I’m grateful that I went to my first shrine with him so I know how to do it correctly). He was flexible about the plans and let us take our time to explore the shrine, museum and interesting streets
