Tokyo Tours with Teenagers Highlights
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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."

Your Journey
Akihabara Gaming & Anime District
Start where teen energy peaks. Multi-story Taito Station arcades with rhythm games at 100 yen per play, Super Potato for retro gaming, anime specialty stores. Parents explore alongside or hit nearby vintage shops.
- Each teen gets budget for arcade games (¥1,000-2,000 typical)
- Guide knows which stores match specific interests—gaming, anime, figures
- Built-in break where everyone recharges instead of pushing through
Harajuku Street Fashion & Shibuya Crossing
Takeshita Street for Gen-Z fashion and Instagram-worthy treats. Purikura photo booths (500 yen) for ridiculous sticker photos. Walk backstreets to Shibuya Crossing—time the scramble light change for full effect.
- Rainbow cotton candy, oversized crepes—photogenic treats teens share online
- Parents explore side streets with interesting shops while teens focus on fashion
- Shibuya Crossing offers the cultural icon moment everyone wants
Shinjuku Nightlife Transformation
Watch the city shift as neon signs light up. Navigate Omoide Yokocho's smoky alleyways where salarymen unwind over grilled skewers. Older teens explore Golden Gai's tiny bar maze (atmosphere only for under-20).
- Evening energy that older teens find genuinely interesting, not forced culture
- Early dinner (5:30-6pm) protects the evening and prevents exhaustion
- Return to hotel around 6:30-7pm—everyone ate and recovered for next day
This is merely a suggestion. Your itinerary is fully bespoke.
