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!

Looking at the view of Asakusa from the observation deck while listening to the explanation in English was extraordinary. It changes your perspective.
