Yutori Walking Tours in Tokyo & beyond

Whether you explore with us directly or through our trusted network of guides and unique experiences, we can help make your Japan trip more engaging and immersive.

demystifying tokyo

Planning a tour at the start of your Tokyo stay is a wonderful way to get oriented in a city as big and complex as this one. We’ll help you get acquainted with your neighborhood, show you how to use your transport card, how to navigate your closest train station and bus services, point out where to find essentials, and introduce you to a great local restaurant and coffee shop —so you feel settled and confident instead of overwhelmed as your adventure begins.
