We chose to build our lives in Japan because of the people here. Their kindness is what makes us feel grateful every day, and it is why we do what we do. Between us, we have over 20 years of hospitality experience, focused on bringing more people to Japan so we can celebrate this country’s warmth, culture, and everyday magic together. Our goal is to help travellers experience Japan in a deeper way, not just as visitors, but with the same excitement, gratitude, and joy we feel living here.

Get ready to fall in love with Tokyo, the city that will leave you breathless! This unique tour isn't just another sightseeing trip – it's an immersive adventure that unveils the soul of this electrifying metropolis.

We'll begin our journey in the heart of Shibuya, the beating pulse of Tokyo's modern life. We'll explore the iconic Shibuya Crossing, a mesmerizing display of humanity in motion, and delve into the trendy district of Miyashita Park, a haven of urban renewal where sustainability meets youthful energy.

Next, we'll tantalize our taste buds at the hidden gem of Shibuya Yokocho, a labyrinthine alleyway packed with vibrant izakayas (Japanese pubs) offering an explosion of flavors and a glimpse into authentic Japanese nightlife.

Harajuku, the land of kawaii (cute) fashion and cosplay, awaits! Immerse yourself in the vibrant streets, explore quirky boutiques, and witness the creative energy that fuels Tokyo's trendsetting spirit.

Meiji Jingu Shrine, a sanctuary that offers a profound contrast to Tokyo's bustling cityscape. Nestled within a lush forest of over 100,000 trees, this sacred Shinto shrine stands as a timeless tribute to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, embodying their vision of harmony, culture, and respect for nature.

GOAL: By the end of this tour, (my goal is) you'll want to move here.
