Me and my partner have been planning a trip to Tokyo for years and never really knew where and how to start. We wanted to get a unique experience of the city and this has been the perfect starting point to plan the trip, it’s saved us SO much time. Can’t recommend it enough.

I’m so excited to try out the hidden garden matcha ceremony, I would never have found it without this guide. The filtering on the database alone is something I wish every travel guide had. By area, by category, by activity type, I love that every single spot has a video, as i’m a visual planner. The 5-day itinerary alone was worth every rupee. It’s so simple to use!

Trying to plan Tokyo for six people with completely different interests felt impossible. This gave me a structure everyone could work from. The database is filterable so each person found something they wanted. We especially loved all the unique bars, we had no idea they even exist in Tokyo!

Tokyo is one of the most overwhelming cities in the world because there's just so much to see. This guide gave me real clarity on what to prioritise as a creator and what to skip. Food, experiences, restaurants, it's all in one place and it genuinely captures the essence of the city. If you have limited time in Tokyo, get this.
Luca
Hands down the best guide I've ever used. Seeing a video for every place made planning Tokyo feel effortless, and I knew right away what excited me and what didn't. Cannot wait to get there!

Okay Japan is HARD to plan. I've read probably every itinerary on the internet and somehow still felt confused especially Tokyo. The 3-5 day itinerary, where to stay, what to order, and all the essential tips for a first timer are all here in one place. Aakanksha and Julian's guide is the most visually put-together resource I've come across and it actually makes the whole thing feel doable. So grateful this exists!!

Tokyo felt so overwhelming to plan that I kept putting it off. This guide made it feel doable. There's a whole survival kit section that covers SIM cards, airport transfers, cultural etiquette and my favourite - the shopping guide. I feel like I have a friend who's already been there telling me exactly what to do! 100% recommend!

We spent 3 hours over the weekend going through all the spots in the guide, planning what we’d like to include and wow, this is the first time planning for a trip has been as exciting as the actual trip! The guide has so many cool things to do!!

I’ve been planning Tokyo with my partner for months and the research was honestly making us want to cancel the whole thing🥲. We're both vegetarians so every time we looked up food it felt like a dead end. This guide sorted everything out in one go. The veg and vegan restaurant map is incredible😭, we've picked a plant based ramen spot in Shinjuku that looks absolutely insane.

Gifted this to my sister who was solo travelling to Tokyo and she kept texting me saying how good it was!!! The curated spots with real videos attached made her feel confident about each place before she visited 😅She went to some unique bars listed in the guide & she hasn’t stopped talking about them!!!

I've been to Tokyo once before but felt like I missed so much. Coming back this year and wanted to do it properly this time. This guide is everything I needed for round two. The spots go so far beyond the usual tourist trail. What I'm most pumped about is a late night street food experience in a part of the city I never even went to last time😛. The guide made it look like a completely different Tokyo. Cannot wait to finally see that side of the city 😍

Ok I just HAVE to say how incredibly helpful this guide is!! The Tokyo Database with all the restaurant recs is insane (Avatar Robot Cafe is already booked 😅), the map, the 3 & 5 day itinerary... you genuinely don't need to look anywhere else. This is exactly what I wish I'd had from day one. Thank you for putting so much love and effort into this!! 🇯🇵✨

Who made this and why.
We are Aakanksha and Julian.
Long before we met each other, travel was already at the centre of both our lives.
Aakanksha is a travel creator from India with a following of over 2 million, known for finding the experiences that go deep into the culture of a place rather than just scratching the surface. Julian has visited over 95 countries with one obsession: finding the spots locals love that most tourists never discover.
Together we spent over a month living in Tokyo. Not visiting. Living. And it was one of the best months of our lives.We kept noticing how much people were missing. Rushing through to get to Kyoto, sticking to the same five spots, leaving without ever seeing what made Tokyo genuinely special. So we built the guide we wish we had on day one.
But we did not stop there...

Vetted by a Local
Every single recommendation in this guide was verified by Ru, a Tokyo local with 8 years in the city and a travel obsession to match ours. She went through every spot, every tip, every location pin and every piece of advice in this guide. If something was not genuinely worth your time, it did not make the cut.
We were not going to put our name on anything half-hearted and we were not going to send you somewhere that was not actually good.
What you have in your hands is the real Tokyo. Not the tourist version.
Questions? Answered.
Do I need the internet to use it?
You will need internet to access video links and Google Maps pins. We recommend saving the guide to your phone's home screen before you travel so it is always one tap away.
Are there hidden fees?
It is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, no charges for updates. Once you buy it, it is yours forever.
Do I get updates automatically?
Yes. Every time we add new spots or update information, your guide automatically reflects the changes. You never have to buy it again.
Is this only for first-time visitors to Tokyo?
Not at all. We built it for anyone who wants to go beyond the obvious. Even people who have visited Tokyo before have found spots in here they had never heard of.
Is it useful if I do not eat meat?
Absolutely. There is a dedicated veg and vegan restaurant map included with the guide!
I only have 2 days in Tokyo. Is this still worth it?
Yes, but we would strongly encourage you to give Tokyo more time. The guide includes a 3 and 5 day itinerary and honestly, two days will barely scratch the surface of what is in here.
What if I have a question or need help?
