Frequently asked questions

How do I customize the itinerary?
Share your interests and must-sees when booking or at the start. Your guide will design a route that fits your priorities and time.
Can we cover multiple neighborhoods?
Yes. A full day allows for 2–4 neighborhoods depending on pace. Popular combos include Asakusa + Ueno, Shibuya + Harajuku, or Imperial Palace + Ginza.
Is transport included?
Guide time is included. Train and taxi fares may be extra. Your guide will use the most efficient options.
What if we want to focus only on food?

How far in advance should I book?
Booking at least a few days ahead is recommended. For peak seasons, 1–2 weeks in advance helps secure your preferred guide.
