Experience Tokyo With TABIBIYORI – Our Signature Local Tours

November 26, 2025

Tokyo is one of the world’s greatest cities — but the real heart of the city isn’t found only in its famous landmarks.
It lives in the tiny bento shops run by older Japanese locals, the warm glow of a neighborhood izakaya, the bowl of ramen cooked by someone who has loved it since childhood, and the quiet moments when a local guide shows you the Tokyo they know by heart.

At TABIBIYORI, we create tours that feel personal, warm, and deeply local.
Here’s an introduction to our experiences — perfect for travelers who want more than sightseeing.

1. Bento Tour

A local food & culture experience near Tokyo Tower

Because we work near Tokyo Tower every day, we know the area’s real bento shops — including one run by older Japanese locals who only speak Japanese.
Your Japanese guide helps you order, teaches you simple phrases, and makes the experience easy and enjoyable.

We then enjoy our bento together in Shiba Park, surrounded by nature, while learning simple Japanese expressions you can use throughout your trip.
