Helping visitors to Japan have the best possible experience.
A problem faced by many foreigners today is the overload of information that they face when visiting Tokyo. From the abundant guidebooks to the various sites on the internet, it can be confusing to the normal visitor. With a massive city like Tokyo, this is bound to happen.
This is where cord.tokyo comes in. By offering to guests of Tokyo Guest House Oji Music Lounge, a local led guided tour to anywhere the guest wishes, it allows for this problem to be solved. What is more, all guided tours from them are free, with the focus on creating fans of Tokyo.
Because of this in order to make people enjoy their stay in Tokyo, I thought that support is necessary and I began to think about what I could do. I then started an interpreter volunteer guided tour! After starting this work and reaching the limit of what I can do by myself, I set out and created the organisation: cord.tokyo!
Overall about 30 guides participate in cord.tokyo, all volunteers of course! We asked a few of them what cord.tokyo meant to them, and why they are involved with it. Here's what they said:
Shinya Oguchi
I was introduced to cord.tokyo by a different tour guide, (Makoto Watanabe), and it seemed really interested so I joined!
Volunteering for cord.tokyo allows me to meet so many different people from different countries as well as learn cultures different from Japan!
Shiori
I found cord.tokyo via a online volunteering site and thought it was a really amazing project so I joined up!
I can meet so many new people and create many different foreign friends! As well as this, my view of the world also changes and I can learn many different things!
Another of the returns are special experiences!! cord.tokyo is partnering up with a number of locations in order to take you for a lowered cost, and this is all factored into the price of the return! By backing these types of returns you can go and enjoy things like Kimono wearing sessions or watch traditional japanese sweets being made!
The last type of return is the donation returns, where this will simply allow you to pay for the next trip or twos costs! While you won't be able to go on the trip, you will allow cord.tokyo to carry on running, helping more and more people discover the true side to Tokyo!

Have you sat down for a snack at Sumida Aquarium yet? This aquarium next to Tokyo Skytree is known for its penguins and garden eels, but we can't get enough of their cute snacks! There are lots of good seats around the aquarium, too, so it almost feels like one big cafe. 🐧 • Find out more at Japankuru.com!

For anime fans, the Evangelion areas at Small Worlds Miniature Museum are a must see! The tiny miniature people in the Evangelion Hangar look like ants beneath the moving Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02! And over in Tokyo-III, characters like Shinji, Rei, and Katsuragi live life on a miniature scale. #odaiba #tokyo #tokyotrip #japantrip #japantravel #ariake #smallworlds #miniaturemuseum #smallworldstokyo #tokyotravel #evangelion #eva #anime #miniature #miniatures #animefigure #japankuru #스몰월드 #에반게리온 #오다이바 #오다이바관광 #오다이바스몰월드 #미니어쳐
