Tailoring city safaris for those baffled by the impenetrable streets and lingo of Tokyo, Bespoke Tokyo promise, at a price, to shed light on the city's secret corners, revealing the hottest and coolest spots, and giving visitors a true taste of Tokyo.

Charlie Spreckley, one half of Bespoke Tokyo, says:

There are so many myths about the city. Yes, it's a huge metropolis, but everything real happens on a very small scale. Japanese people feel uncomfortable in big places; small scale is real, authentic.

Kate Graham of the Observer writes:

I gaze up and see six small square signs. These fail spectacularly to reveal any information whatsoever. One is a cartoon lightbulb, another a blue bonsai tree and the third a plain purple square. This is what keeps Tokyo nightlife exciting yet inaccessible. These unremarkable facades hide the city's best-kept secrets, all tucked up on the 12th floor or hidden in unmarked basements.
