rank-icon Guide information

Hi there! We're a group of university students working as flat-certified guides — all of us genuinely passionate about connecting with people from around the world.
We've walked these streets with countless guests, so we know how to share Japanese culture, manners, and travel tips naturally along the way. But forget the scripted tour. Whatever catches your eye or sparks your curiosity, that's where our conversation begins.
Every guide has a different background — a history student might uncover hidden stories in the streets, while a photography lover will know exactly where to find the perfect shot. Same place, different guide, completely different experience.
Got any questions about your trip? Just shoot us a message anytime!

A Cat Lover's Paradise

Known as Tokyo's beloved "Cat Town," Yanaka Ginza is a paradise for feline enthusiasts. Discover charming cat-themed gift shops, seven lucky wooden cat statues hidden throughout the shopping street Magical Trip (find them all for good fortune!), a sculpture museum featuring cat art, and cozy cat cafes. You can even try painting your own lucky cat (maneki-neko) at Cafe Nekoemon while enjoying traditional refreshments.

A Street Food Adventure Through Old Tokyo

Stroll through this nostalgic shopping district and savor an incredible variety of local treats! From savory delights like crispy menchi-katsu (beef croquettes) and fresh takoyaki, to sweet indulgences including exquisite Mont Blanc desserts and fresh-baked apple pie. Don't miss the famous cat tail-shaped donuts at Yanaka Shippoya — they're as delicious as they are Instagram-worthy!

Explore the Historic Yanesen Area

The tour extends beyond Yanaka Ginza to showcase the treasures of the Yanesen neighborhood (Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi). We'll visit the stunning Nezu Shrine with its iconic rows of vermillion torii gates, and I'll share personalized recommendations for other hidden gems in the area based on your interests — whether you're drawn to temples, traditional crafts, or scenic photo spots!
