After surveying all the city's tumultuous tourist spots, you're wondering "What's it like, in concrete terms, to live in Tokyo in 2025? " ? Then this tour is for you!
Discover Tokyo off the beaten track, in the peaceful residential district of Kotake Mukaihara, ideally located just 10 minutes by train from Shinjuku. This 4-hour tour will plunge you into the everyday life of Tokyoites in 2025, through quiet streets and authentic places where locals go about their daily lives.
You'll stroll through quiet alleyways, discover local schools, convenience stores and parks where Japanese families come to relax. You'll also visit discreet temples, often wrongly ignored by tourist guides, offering an intimate insight into local culture and traditions.
For anime fans, this residential area, with its narrow streets and unique atmosphere, may well remind you of the settings of the series you love. A true immersion in Tokyo life, without the tourist crowds, to see the city from a simple and authentic angle.
To complete your experience, you can also choose to enjoy a meal in one of the district's restaurants (meal not included in the tour price). An ideal opportunity to sample the local cuisine and interact with the locals in an authentic setting.

Your guide:
Living in Japan since 2018, I've been lucky enough to travel the length and breadth of the country. I first lived with Japanese host families, which allowed me to fully immerse myself in the local culture, its most pleasant aspects as well as its darkest realities. These experiences enabled me to develop an authentic vision of Japan and its people. Now married to a Japanese woman, I'd like to introduce tourists to my neighborhood, which I'm particularly fond of for its tranquility and good living, while sharing with them my "Western" vision and analysis of Japanese culture and ways of thinking.

What you'll do:
- Stroll through a quiet residential neighborhood, mixing authenticity and modernism, typical of Japanese life in 2025.
