Full description
Book this tour and your hosts will contact you within 24 hours and ask you questions about your preferences and interests, so they can match you with a like-minded local Tokyoite. Keeping in mind your personal answers, they will put together a bespoke itinerary, just for you. Take part in the lively coffee culture of Shimokita, as the locals call it, or go thrift shopping in the area’s best vintage stores. Explore the hustle and bustle around the local station, where locals gather to enjoy the slow life or wait for the sun to go down and jam to a local band with a hot bowl of soba noodles in one hand and some smooth sake in the other. You will head for the hipster heart of alternative Tokyo, where tiny streets burst with trendy vendors all manner of retro finds. You could shop till you drop at vintage shops like Garage Department Store, which stocks all kinds of funk, or you could sift through mountains of old CDs at Flash Disk, where the only school is old-school. With your host by your side, you’ll get the chance to discover this maze of deviant art, indie music, and hipster fashion while taking in a very different Tokyo from the one you would have imagined. And if you’re getting hungry, you could choose from jazzy joints like City Country City, where good music meets even better coffee, or swap out for a cocktail at Shimokitazawa Mother, where Gaudi-esque decoration compliments fine Okinawan cuisine.

Difficult to plan a lot for 2 hours of time that I had chosen. But overall, it was nice.
