Walking Tours for Visitors to Japan
Small-group walks around Tokyo, led in English by guides who live in the neighbourhood. From a kimono walk in Asakusa to bar hopping in Shinjuku, most run about three hours. We operate them ourselves as Japan Trails.
This is not a guided tour reading from a script. Your guide takes you to the places they eat at, shares the food they genuinely like, and tells you what only locals know. Not a photo and on to the next one — we would rather you left knowing why the place is there at all. That is what our tours are.
Operated by us as Japan Trails. Bookings are taken directly on that site.
WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE US
Walk the same streets with a different person and you come away with a different trip. Here is why people choose ours.
From a kimono walk in Asakusa to bar hopping in Shinjuku, most run about three hours. A street in the morning is not the street you meet at night, so you can choose by time of day as much as by place. There is also a full-day private tour to Mount Fuji.

Individual travellers and travel companies come to us through different doors. Take whichever fits — and there is no need to have your dates settled first.
Tours are booked directly through Japan Trails, the site we run. For groups, or for arrangements on behalf of a travel company, please use the contact form.
What we learn running tours on the ground carries straight over into booking, marketing and rethinking how work gets done. These are the three people most often ask about alongside.
