Whether you’re planning to live in Tokyo or you’re here to study, work or discover a new culture - we think you’re awesome! We also believe that the best way to feel settled in a new place is to be shown the ropes by somebody who lives there, and that’s where we’d like to help. Join one of our friendly hosts and get to know the city you’ll now be calling home. Explore your new neighborhood, get to grips with the practicalities (how to use public transport) and the way more fun stuff (where your new local ramen shop is).
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
