Close your guidebook,
and dive into the real Japan.
It doesn't end with just taking photos at famous tourist spots.
We, the locals, will show you the charm of the city we love and offer you heartwarming interactions.
From a mere tourist, to an
authentic local explorer
.
Many travelers from all over the world visit Japan. Beautiful historical temples and shrines, cities crowded with the latest technology. Enjoying those is wonderful, but what we really want to share is "daily life in Japan."
A standing bar to drop by after work, a favorite cafe quietly nestled in a back alley, a deep shopping street frequented by locals. We believe that the unadorned Japan not found in guidebooks is the most attractive.
A lotomo guide is neither a teacher nor a tour conductor. They are your friendly local friends living in Japan. Rather than "just visiting famous places," we walk, talk, and laugh together. Would you like to spend such a special time with us?
3 Things lotomo Values
Real Local Experience
We will guide you not only to famous tourist spots but also to the areas where we usually live. You can experience the daily life of Japan firsthand by peeking into local supermarkets or taking local trains.
Communication Like Friends
There is no stiff polite language or manualized guidance. We promise a relaxed and warm interaction, as if you were being guided around the city by a Japanese friend you haven't seen in a long time.
Flexibility to Fulfill Your Wishes
There is no fixed schedule. "I want to go here," "I want to eat this," "I'm tired so I want to rest at a cafe." You can flexibly change your plans according to your mood and pace at that time.
