What types of tours does Nippon Sakura Tours offer?

Our guided tours focus on authentic local experiences, from nightlife and entertainment to temples, shrines, and historic neighborhoods. We also offer private tours and custom itineraries tailored to your interests.

How much does a custom tour cost?

Custom tour pricing depends on the duration, group size, and locations you want to visit. Whether it's a half-day walking tour or a full-day Tokyo experience, we'll design a personalized package tailored to your interests and budget. Contact us with your travel dates and we'll put together a quote for you.

How do I book a tour?

Booking is easy — simply contact us directly via email at info@nipponsakura.net, send us a message on WhatsApp, or reach out through our Instagram or Facebook pages. We'll confirm availability and get your tour scheduled. For custom or private tours, let us know your dates and interests and we'll create a personalized itinerary for you.

What should I wear or bring on the tour?

Wear comfortable walking shoes since our tours involve a fair amount of walking through Tokyo's streets. We recommend dressing for the weather and bringing a charged phone for photos. Everything else is taken care of by your guide.

Are the tours private or group?

We offer both. You can book a private tour for just you and your travel companions, or join a small group of up to 10 people. Either way, the experience stays personal and intimate so you get the most out of your time in Tokyo.
