Learn Japanese while exploring Tokyo, Yokohama, and local culture with your own private guide.
This is not just a sightseeing tour. It is a private Japanese learning experience where you use real phrases in real situations — just you, your group, and your own local guide.
Instead of sitting in a classroom, you learn Japanese out in the city — ordering at a café, asking a shopkeeper a question, greeting people, and chatting about food and culture as you go. Your guide adapts everything to your level and interests, so it feels natural from the very first minute. Perfect for complete beginners.

Kids are welcome too. With 3 or more people, your private tour is discounted compared to a regular lesson.

Move at your own pace, not someone else's. A private tour is built entirely around you, so you grow as quickly as you want.
No Japanese experience is required. Your guide will support you in English when needed.

Our value
We focus on Japanese you can actually use during your trip, not just textbook expressions. Real language lives in real places, with real people.
No textbooks or grammar drills. You practice the exact phrases you need in the moment you need them — ordering, asking, greeting, connecting.
It's just your group and your guide, moving at your pace. No Japanese experience required — English support is there whenever you need it.
Your guide is a local who knows the city from the inside. You explore real neighborhoods in a calm, welcoming atmosphere — never a scripted tourist route.

Real words from travelers who learned with us.
Tai was such a professional teacher — patient, warm, and genuinely invested in how I was doing. Within a week I went from freezing up at the convenience store to actually joking with the staff. The café lessons never felt like a classroom; they felt like meeting a friend who happened to be teaching me Japanese.
I'd spent months on apps and could barely say a word. Two mornings of walking the neighbourhood and ordering lunch in Japanese did more than all of that combined. Being taken to the places where people actually live — not the tourist spots — completely changed how I saw Tokyo.
What surprised me was how natural it felt. We'd learn a few phrases over coffee, then use them an hour later at a tiny local shop. The teachers remember exactly what you struggled with and bring it back the next day. I left with real confidence — not just a list of words.
Explore the city, learn real Japanese, and practice with your own private guide.
