MEET Miyu · Sangenjaya
Now showing Miyu’s night
For Miyu, the best way to experience Tokyo is to spend an evening the way a local actually would — not following a tourist itinerary, but dropping into the everyday places people go for good food, drinks and conversation. Born in Osaka, she studied at a university in China and later worked for a Japanese company, including a recent posting in Vietnam, and started guiding after returning home because she wanted to keep meeting people from around the world. Her Tokyo runs through Sangenjaya, Shibuya and Shinjuku — the lively streets of Shinjuku 3-chome and 2-chome, the narrow lanes of Golden Gai, and the snack bars she is always hunting for. Tell her what kind of food, drinks, atmosphere or neighborhood you are after and she will build the route around it, ending up at the places she would actually visit herself rather than the most famous ones.

THE SMALL PRINT, PLAINLY
If something is still on your mind, ask us before you request a date.
No. It is a private neighborhood experience for one or two travelers. There are no drinking games, party groups, forced mingling, or romantic expectations—just 2 easy hours with a local who knows the room, usually across two or three stops.
Not at all. Tea, soda, and non-alcoholic drinks are completely welcome. The point is the setting and connection, not how much you drink.
Perfectly fine. Choose a quieter local and tell us your preferred pace beforehand. You never have to perform, fill every silence, or keep the energy up.
They are paid directly to each venue, including your local’s. Before you order, they explain cover charges, small plates, and the expected total—no surprise bill.
Yes. Tell us your preference when you inquire and we will do our best to match you with someone who helps you feel comfortable.
