Experience the best of
Tokyo with Withlocals

"Seden, truly made my family’s food tour memorable. She speaks perfect English and is fluent in both Japanese and the culture. She took the four of us on a food tour of what the locals like to eat versus the more common tourist traps. She also led us through a beautiful night stroll through a park. The walk was needed because to digest between all of the meals. Trust me, you need a huge appetite to finish off all the food. We didn’t even come close! The most unique meal was the hot table but my favourite was the sushi bar because of the setting and chefs omakase. If you love food, this tour is a must!"

"Seden was a fantastic guide for our first day in Tokyo. She was kind and thoughtful in helping us to manage our two very overtired boys. She found ways to interest them, give them breaks and answered all of their questions. She also helped us with some specific shopping recommendations, which was great. It was very interesting to hear about her career designing kimonos and her experiences of living and working in Japan. We thoroughly recommend Seden as a guide, she’s a delightful person and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much!!"

"Gulay was a total gem. She customized a tour that completely fit out interests, desired pace, and attention spans. She has so much to share about her experience in Tokyo and what makes Japan special. Allow her surprise you with some angles and quirks of the city and her creativity will inspire! 10/10!"

"We wanted to book a food tour to get to understand the local culture as one of the first things on our three-week trip to Japan, and Seden was the absolute perfect guide. From the moment we met her, she was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. We learned about an area we wouldn’t have had a chance to explore on our own, and got the true local experience. She took us to so many incredible spots and made sure that we got to try a little bit of everything, while explaining the local traditions and even some Japanese history. We couldn’t recommend a tour with Seden more, it’s a must-do for anyone coming to Japan!!!"

"Sena guided my daughter and myself in Shibuya and the nearby area. She has every quality anyone would want in a guide. Sena has vast knowledge of Japan and its largest city. Her understanding of westerners and english is amazing. She seamlessly can walk, listen, comprehend completely, always being intuitive, smile, laugh and guide us through crowds like the true pro that she is. Sena can relate with an older man and young adult woman at the same time. If you are considering a guide while in Tokyo, Sena is simply the very best."

"We had the absolute pleasure of spending three unforgettable hours with Selen as our guide in Tokyo. The time flew by, and it felt less like a tour and more like catching up with an old friend. Selen was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable, bringing Tokyo to life for us in such a unique and personal way. Her stories, insights, and humor made the experience not only educational but also genuinely enjoyable. Thanks to her warm personality and deep connection to the city, we left with a greater appreciation for Tokyo and some truly wonderful memories. If you’re looking for a guide who makes you feel at home while exploring a fascinating city, Selen is the perfect choice! Thank you, Selen, for such a special day!"

"Seden greatly exceeded my expectations on our recent food tour in Kichijoji. Her company was delightful and her knowledge of the local food scene was extensive. I was impressed that she wasn't just ordering food for me, but taking the time to speak with the various chefs/staff to determine what was best for me. Her Japanese was flawless. We also got to take a break with a nice stroll to the temple in lovely Inokashira Park. If you're considering a food tour, don't think twice about booking with Seden. You will not be disappointed! Arigatou gozaimasu Seden-san!"

"Ai set up a culinary and cultural experience that was well beyond what I expected. We tried a wide variety of food at three different restaurants in an area of Tokyo that would be difficult for a tourist to figure out in their own. She was an excellent teacher and your guide, explaining both the food, the restaurant, the culture behind the izakaya experience, and nearly any other question I had about Tokyo. She was patient, happy, and very enjoyable. Can’t recommend this tour enough!"

"Our multigenerational group all enjoyed our tour with Sena. She was very knowledgeable about the various foods we ate (all delicious) but also answered all our many questions (it was our second day in Tokyo) and had suggestions as well. We probably wouldn't have found this particular area of Tokyo by ourselves, but felt we experienced a little bit of local life. We all really enjoyed just having our family on the tour- it was personal and engaging, iwht time for detours for things that interested us "

"Carlos was wonderful right from the time of booking. I asked lots of questions and he answered them thoroughly and immediately. He texted us the night before to inform us of his arrival time. He was very friendly and informative. He took us to two wonderful establishments to eat during our 5 hour private tour. He showed us how to use the train lines. Helped us buy our bullet train tickets for our next destination. He went above and beyond. We highly recommend him for your Tokyo tour!!!"
