A private day through Tokyo’s art, music, and local spots — the feeling of being shown around by a close friend. We build the day together, around what you love.
A private day through Tokyo’s art, music & local spots
Tokyo has countless layers you can’t reach from a guidebook alone: quiet galleries, small clubs, spaces open only for a short while, chain spots only locals use, tiny back-alley bars. This is a private, made-to-order experience where we move through those layers together — I plan it, and I’m with you on the day.
I love high-end places and back-alley spots equally. What I care about most is finding, together, the experience that fits you best.
Why spend the day with me
Tuned to your situation and your taste
10+ years in Tokyo, out regularly — galleries, clubs, underground parties, art fairs.
Japanese, raised in the Osaka–Kobe area, now based in Tokyo — an insider's access with an outsider's read on the city.
As someone who loves going out and loves hosting, I build your time in Tokyo and Japan the way I’d host a close friend.
Cultural sociology + a traveler’s eye
I studied cultural sociology, and I still enjoy every kind of culture across genres and countries, and I’ve traveled widely.
I’m good at connecting what’s happening on the ground to its cultural background — putting Tokyo and Japan’s particularities into words, and comparing them with other countries.
Smooth, comfortable pacing
About 10 years as a marketing manager at a tech company, always running many projects.
I build routes and timing that flow well — the backbone of a comfortable trip.
What’s included (examples)
One to several days of art & music outings
A mix built to your taste and energy: gallery-hopping + neighborhood walks + nightlife + cultural experiences + food, and more
Downtime ideas too — an onsen, a massage, finding nature inside the city
Intros to local events or secret parties (when the timing lines up)
Combine it with the itinerary service — e.g., we go together on day one, and you move on your own for the rest
