TOUR NON-TOURIST TOKYO

Best Of Both Worlds

I’m half Australian, half Japanese, and I get what travellers want - to feel comfortable and safe in a new city, while still soaking up that sense of excitement and adventure that comes with experiencing somewhere completely different.

I’ll bridge the gap between cultures and help you see Japan through a local's eyes - my eyes. You’ll feel comfortable and looked-after, but still get that thrill of discovery that makes travel feel so special.

Old Meets New

Our tours are designed to show you all sides of Japan - the beautiful and timeless traditions of the past and the vibrant energy of the futuristic present.

From quiet temples and winding backstreets to modern city life, neon lights, and local food spots. Each tour tells a story of Japan’s culture, history, and everyday life, all in one memorable experience.

Japan Made Easy

I speak Japanese and know the culture inside out, so you can just relax and enjoy the experience.

With me as your guide, you’ll be able to ask anything. From local customs to food recommendations, you'll get real answers on the spot.

I’ll take care of the details, help you connect with the people and places around you, and make sure every moment feels easy, fun, and authentic.

Everyone’s got a story. Here’s mine.

Before all of this, I spent ten years working as a sparky in Australia. I was deep in the grind - early mornings, hot days, long swings, literally hundreds of flights.

To get through those long, hot days in the desert, it’s alleged that a few beers had been drank (for hydration purposes) and a bit of light banter exchanged...

Had a great time with Alex and a few other group members. Having someone who can speak japanese really helped us navigate the intimate moments with locals, despite us trying ourselves. It felt like we got all of the best parts of the city with none of the hard work. Highly recommended!
