This isn’t a textbook-style history tour. With a local host who’s passionate about the city’s past, you’ll walk through Tokyo’s shifting timeline, from samurai traditions to modern-day marvels. It’s a story told through the streets, shrines, architecture, and the everyday scenes you pass along the way.

Before your experience begins, you’ll complete a short questionnaire so we can match you with the perfect host. Whether you’re interested in the Edo period, World War II legacies, or Tokyo’s postwar boom, your host will craft a route filled with insights, conversation, and unexpected discoveries.
