No Coordination Burden

Real-Time Energy Management

Guide reads the room and adjusts before the 10-year-old melts down or the grandparent needs to slow everyone down

Testimonials

What Our Guests Say

"I'd been to Tokyo many times before and still had never seen or heard of most everything he included in our tour. We liked it so much, we immediately booked a second day!"

Wanderer67335496230

"It felt like we were touring with a friend who lives in Japan. Rina adapted the tour for our diverse group — kids from 7 to their 20s. Some of our best memories were things she improvised."

Marc

"My family wanted anime stuff and everything else jam packed into the day. Satoshi did not disappoint. My family is still raving about this tour days later!"

Racquel

"Felt like we'd known him for years. Wanted an authentic lunch with no Ramen for a change — a 3rd floor Hot Pot Restaurant we never would have found."

Sample Day

Your Journey

Morning

Tsukiji Market Food Adventure

Kids taste tamagoyaki from Yamachou while grandparents appreciate vendor craft spanning decades. Your guide navigates narrow stalls, knows which vendors welcome curious hands, and manages bathroom breaks before moving on.

  • Tamagoyaki on sticks—the kid-approved gateway while grandparents try fresh sushi
  • Guide knows restroom locations at Tsukiji Uogashi building
  • 75 minutes including inevitable 'can we try that?' detours
Late Morning

Akihabara Arcade & Gachapon District

Multi-story arcades with crane games and capsule toys engage all ages. Kids compete for plushies, teens drift to anime stores, grandparents discover gachapon collectors over 360,000 machines strong across Japan.

  • Each family member gets gachapon budget for capsule machine exploring
  • GiGO's six floors keep every age group occupied simultaneously
  • Elderly Japanese collectors and 10-year-olds share the same machines
Lunch

Ueno Park Break & Family Lunch

Grass to run on, space to breathe, restaurants that actually seat parties of eight. Kids reset batteries at Ueno Park while your guide books a table with booth seating and options for picky eaters.

  • Ushihachi yakiniku for BBQ grills at the table, or family udon for simpler tastes
  • 30-minute park time prevents the 2pm meltdown that derails most family days
  • Grandparents rest on benches while kids burn final energy before afternoon
Afternoon

Senso-ji Temple & Nakamise Street

Tokyo's oldest temple becomes interactive through goshuin stamp collecting. Kids draw paper fortunes and light incense while grandparents appreciate spiritual significance. Everyone collects hand-brushed calligraphy in personal goshuincho books.

  • Draw omikuji fortunes—bad luck ones get tied to the rack (kids love this)
  • Watch careful calligraphy process at stamp office (closes 4pm)
  • Nakamise Street for small souvenirs and ningyo-yaki cakes
  • Tour wraps by 3:30pm—evening free for hotel pool or early dinner

This is merely a suggestion. Your itinerary is fully bespoke.
