Tour lineup
Every Day, Your Way
We offer private tours and bespoke experiences every day of the year, including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
The experiences featured below are just a selection of what we create. Many of our tours are privately designed for individual families and groups, tailored to their interests, pace, and wishes — and therefore never appear on our public schedule.
Explore our experiences below, or speak with us directly about the journey you have in mind. We would be delighted to create a private experience tailored entirely to you.

Jizo-dori: Sugamo’s Living Wonderland
Step into a vibrant hub where local street bites, a historic shopping street revitalized through dynamic university-industry collaboration, and a sacred intersection of Shinto, Buddhism, and Taoism seamlessly blend into a one-of-a-kind cultural tapestry.
Shimokitazawa, Where Tokyo spends its day off
Dive into the indie alleys of Shimokitazawa. Nibble on hot croquettes, grab a crepe, and taste local rice crackers as you explore. Finish the stroll with a cold drink and fresh yakitori at a cozy neighborhood izakaya.
Step into Legend: The New Year’s Eve Fox Procession
Selling out fast! Experience New Year’s Eve like nowhere else on Earth. Tailor your night with three distinct plans—ranging from a 1.5-hour special seating view with a drink, to an ultimate 3.5-hour journey featuring shrine worship, fox makeup, and a curated sake-pairing dinner. Top it all off with a magical countdown at the shrine. Watch ancient folklore come alive and immerse yourself in a living fairytale.
Nothing matches both of those yet. Clear a filter, or ask us to build it.

Most of what we do
was never on a list.
Multi-city itineraries, a proposal that needed a location scouting first, a family of eight who all wanted different things. Describe it and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
