Departure from Tokyo Station is also possible. This meeting point is convenient for travelers staying around Tokyo Station, Marunouchi, Otemachi, Nihonbashi, Ginza, and other major central Tokyo areas. With advance consultation, if you are staying in a major central Tokyo hotel area, meeting at the nearest train station to your hotel may also be possible. The final meeting point will be suggested based on your hotel area, interests, and the route for the day.

The standard meeting point is Shinjuku Station. You will meet Samurai Guide Sho, a former JR Chuo Line conductor, and travel comfortably by JR Chuo Line Green Car or other suitable trains, depending on the tour plan for the day. From Shinjuku Station, you will move away from central Tokyo and head toward areas along the Chuo Line or western Tokyo, while enjoying the train ride itself as part of the tour. You will head to places chosen for the day while taking in the changing scenery from the train window, the atmosphere of local stations, and the feeling of moving into everyday Tokyo.

Instead of typical tourist spots, this tour is built around local areas that people living in Tokyo may choose for their days off. Depending on your interests, the season, weather, crowd levels, and travel time, the tour may combine experiences such as: * Large parks, recommended for families * BBQ * Shopping * Hiking * Onsen and sauna, with tattoo-friendly options available * Locally brewed craft beer * Local food * Stroller-friendly routes * Quiet neighborhood walks * Zoos * Railway-themed parks With advance consultation, the route can also be adjusted for families with small children, stroller use, guests who prefer less walking, hiking that matches the level of the group, or guests looking for tattoo-friendly onsen or bathing facilities.
