Taking a Look at cord.tokyo- A Volunteer Tour Guide Group Focusing on Making Visitors Happy!

What Does the Project Mean to the Guides Themselves?

The Start of a Crowdfunding Project: cord.tokyo – An Association Creating Tokyo Fans by Holding Free Volunteer Tours Needs Your Help! 
 

On December 10th 2018, cord.tokyo launched a project on Japankuru Funding in order to raise the necessary funds to help them carry on their amazing volunteer guide group! Currently any funds, such as transport costs, are being paid by the founder, Keisuke Ishikawa, which leads to two things, it doesn't really allow it to be done on a large scale, and also limits it to the certain days that it's possible to do the tours. With a goal of 300,000 JPY they have raised just over a third of the total necessary at the time of writing!! 

What are some of the Returns for Backing the Project?

 

There are many returns that have been prepared for those that help the project raise the money.  Their first one is taking you on a guided tour, with the money raised from this going towards not just your own tour but other tours in the future! Things like transport costs, and food expenses come out of this money so that the tour guides can take you to places that are really enjoyable! 

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!
