Tokyo Private Tours: Authentic Experiences with Local Experts 


Private tours unlike any you've experienced before. Our local experts share the stories that only locals know as they dive into history, architecture, food, religion and more. When you leave a Tokyo private tour with Context, you'll feel deeply connected to the city and its culture.

Experience the Context difference with our multifaceted approach to discovering cities: through walking tours, audio guides, and online lectures. All of our Tokyo experiences cater to travelers with a thirst for knowledge.

Our private tours provide an intimate exploration of the city’s streets, unveiling stories and sites often missed. Complementing this, our audio guides offer a rich narrative journey, perfect for independent exploration at your own pace. For a deeper dive, our engaging pre-trip talks bring to life the history, culture, and hidden secrets of each destination, all from the comfort of your home. Together, these elements create a comprehensive and enriching travel experience, unique to Context.

On private tours, our guides take you beyond the standard tourist paths, unveiling Tokyo's intriguing history, awe-inspiring landmarks, and bustling neighborhoods with a depth and insight unmatched by ordinary tours. Imagine exploring the Tokyo National Museum's stunning collections with a historian on your very own private tour, delving into the intricate world of Japanese aesthetics and design with an architect, or embarking on a day trip to witness the majestic Great Buddha of Kamakura. Learn about the history of Anime and pop culture of the city, or taste your way through the famous markets and bustling neighborhoods. Each Tokyo private tour offers you more than just a visit to a bucket-list destination; it's an immersive journey into the deeper context of the city's history.

We loved Anna’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge about Japanese architecture. She also gave us an excellent overview of Japanese history and culture as she answered our questions. Made three hours go by so quickly!
What an absolutely delightful morning touring with Patricia! The tour took us through many neighborhoods and covered varied structures. I highly recommend Patricia and this tour.
Many thanks for an interesting and fun tour! We learned a lot from Jeff, who showed us many beautiful and interesting buildings and explained the historical values and events which influenced their design. He was generous with his time and there were a lot of questions (from both us and him! His professorial nature shone through!) that got us very involved in what we were learning. As a bonus, we saw a Shinto wedding and learned correct shrine etiquette. Fabulous morning!
