About Us

Real Tokyo Guide is an English-language travel guide for people visiting Tokyo, especially for the first time.

Tokyo is huge, and the famous sights are only the beginning. Our aim is to help you get beyond the guidebook: to find the neighborhoods, food and everyday moments that most visitors never see, and to feel prepared before you land.

What you will find here

• Explore: must-see sights, local spots, food, activities, culture, shopping and etiquette.
• Prepare: the essentials to sort out before your trip, with packing advice for each season.
• Plan: trip-planning tools and sample itineraries, coming soon.
