Our guide services are hands-on and practical. We help with the everyday things that can feel confusing in Japan, like catching the right train, booking the shinkansen, or shopping at a local store, and we share the experiences of the people who live here.
Here are some real examples of how we've helped so far. Your request doesn't need to be big.
Taking trains and buses with confidence, with someone who knows the way.
Japanese booking sites and apps can be hard to use. We walk you through them step by step.
Shop like a local, and get the things you can only find in Japan.
Real Japanese life beyond the tourist spots, and help with Japanese for your own projects.
Need help with something not on this list? Just ask. If it's a practical part of life in Japan, we're happy to help.
We don't just do things for you. We show you how they work, so next time you can take the train, book a ticket, or shop on your own.
Along the way, we share the everyday experiences of Japanese people: how locals get around, shop, and live, beyond the guidebooks.
Every request is different, so we don't use fixed prices. Tell us what you need, and we'll suggest a price that fits the size of your request. Small requests are kept small in price, too.
Send us a message with your request, the place, and your preferred date.
We'll reply with a price for your request. Asking is free, with no obligation.
Only book if the plan and price work for you.
