Our time in Tokyo was made truly special thanks to Mr. Tokyo. From the very first meeting, he felt less like a guide and more like a local friend sharing his city with us. What stood out most was his energy, knowledge, and ability to take us beyond the typical tourist experience. He showed us hidden streets, local favorites, and parts of Tokyo that we would never have discovered on our own. Whether we were exploring Asakusa, walking through Shinjuku, hunting for unique food, or simply learning about everyday life in Japan, every moment felt authentic and personal. He was incredibly patient, engaging with both adults and children, and always happy to answer questions about Japanese culture, history, and modern life. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his love for Tokyo shines through in everything he does. If you’re looking for a guide who can help you experience the real Tokyo, not just the landmarks, I highly recommend Mr. Tokyo. He turned our visit into a collection of memories that will stay with us long after we’ve returned home. Thank you, Mr. Tokyo, for helping us see Tokyo through local eyes. — Ameer from Saudi Arabia
What a fantastic experience! Mr. Tokyo took us to spots we would never have found on our own! He taught us about the culture and life the local part of Tokyo and made sure we had a great time! The night flew by with his expert guidance! I highly recommend Mr. Tokyo for anyone who wants the VIP experience!
Yuuki was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! I’ve traveled to many countries and booked many tours, but he was by far the best guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many useful tips that only a local would know. Every place he took us to was somewhere we never would have found on our own, and the food was absolutely delicious. I recommend him 100000%🔥
We had an incredible night with Shota! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and spent a night with Shota touring a bunch of spots in Shinjuku. Not only does he know his stuff, and will take you to some awesome bars and restaurants you wouldn't find otherwise, but he is also just a fun time and a great hang. We really enjoyed sharing our cultures and learning about Japan over some excellent food and drink. Would recommend this tour to anyone!
Sho (Mr Tokyo) knows his stuff. We went to a series of really cool, interesting and delicious spots. Upstairs or down hidden alleyways through unmarked doors. We had great sushi in one spot, then cooked our own Wagyu in another, then a little bar in a special alleyway for these sake sours that were excellent. Finished upstairs in a small bar with an impeccably dressed bartender and some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Take this tour!
Amazing time with Shota!! He took us to all the places we wanted to see, including hidden hole-in-the-wall spots with amazing food and great drinks. He really taught us about the culture and accommodated everything we needed. Amazing guide — 1000% recommend!
This tour allowed me to experience restaurants and bars that I would not have known existed and I would not have had the confidence to walk into especially as a solo traveller. Each location was different allowing me to try different foods and Shota was super fun and entertaining. Super grateful for such a fun night. Looking forward to my next trip
What an amazing experience. Mr Tokyo, the one and only! I recently travelled to Japan for the first time and after seeing all the reviews and Mr. Tokyo’s instagram content I had to check it out. We started in Shinjuku and went for a walk around, we ate delicious food in places I would have never found, or even been able to navigate my way through a true local experience. A memory that will never leave me is we went to the Golden Gai district, and drank beer in these little shoe box places, I was in awe, and by the end of it I was drinking with salarymen, fellow Australians while being entertained by a performer, I laughed so much it’s something I’ll never forget. It was like hanging out with an old friend. I cannot recommend Mr Tokyo “Shota” enough!
Mr. Tokyo, aka Shota, was the perfect guide for us to feel comfortable and really enjoy an evening in busy Shinjuku area. We went to several places to eat and drink, and also explored the area, seeing the must-see sights. He shared lots of information about the area’s history. He even includes restroom stops!!
We had an awesome time! Great food and drink! Would highly recommend and again. The chicken wing stuffed with dumpling was the best!
