How does booking work — is it instant?

It is not an instant-confirm button. You send a request at the bottom of this page and we reply with a written quote: the final price, exactly what it covers, and the cancellation terms for that specific trip. The booking exists only once you accept that quote. Slower than a Book Now button, but nothing gets sold to you that is not actually available.

Will we be grouped with other travellers?

No. Every tour in these two sections is private: your party only, your own vehicle, your own host. No sharing, no waiting on strangers.

Where does pickup and drop-off happen?

Pickup and drop-off at your hotel inside the central area of the city named on the tour, included in the price. Outside that area we can still collect you — the surcharge is written into the quote, never added when you get in the car.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes. The hour-by-hour schedule above is the version that works best, not a fixed mould. More driving time, a different meal, an extra night, or dropping a leg — write it in your request; the price moves with it and the change is spelled out in the quote.

What languages does the team speak?

Put the language you want in your request. The quote tells you whether someone who speaks it is free ON YOUR DATE — we do not promise a language and then tell you on the day that nobody is available.

When and how do we pay?

You pay nothing before you have read and accepted the quote. Payment method, payment dates and which part needs a deposit to hold a third-party booking are all written into that quote. Nothing appears afterwards.

How far ahead should we book?

At least 7 days before your date — the request form opens from that day. You get a final itemised quote by email. Earlier is surer: small venues and cars have very few slots a day.

An easy walk through Takeshita-dori and Cat Street, stopping to eat in short bursts instead of sitting through one long meal. The guide pitches the street-fashion side of it at whatever depth you want, deep or barely at all.

🗓️ How the day runs

10:00
The car collects you at the hotel and sets you down at the top of Takeshita-dori. Starting before noon is deliberate — after twelve the best stalls here have half-hour queues.
10:30
The first stop is the street-stall row: crêpes, spiral potato, filled sweet pastries. The guide orders and pays on the spot, so you never stand in front of a Japanese-only menu guessing.
11:30
Then over to Cat Street, much quieter, and where Japan's street-fashion labels keep their original shops. This stretch comes with the commentary — as deep or as light as you say you want it.
12:30
Lunch sitting down rather than eating on your feet, usually one proper Japanese dish to balance out the sweet stops.
13:30
Dessert and coffee, then free time to shop. The guide stays to interpret while you try things on or ask about sizing — Japanese sizes run well off European ones.
14:00
The car takes you back to the hotel, or drops you at Shibuya or Omotesando if you want to keep going.
