Tokyo for travellers from India: a private guide who plans everything

Vegetarian food, Mt. Fuji, shopping and anime, at your family’s pace, in English.

Iheb is a private tour guide who lives in Japan and guides families and groups from India in English around Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone and Kamakura. He plans each day around your food (vegetarian, Jain-friendly or non-vegetarian), books a private car with a licensed partner when you need one, and keeps the pace easy for parents and children. Prices are in yen and per group: a private guide from ¥36,000 for 4 hours, a Mt. Fuji day with car and guide from ¥150,000 for 1 to 4 guests, airport transfers from ¥20,000.

Vegetarian and Jain-friendly food

Vegetarian: Tokyo has many vegetarian and Indian restaurants, and Iheb books places on your route in advance.
Jain-friendly: no onion, garlic or root vegetables is harder in Japan; Iheb asks restaurants before you go and suggests safe options.
Watch out for dashi: many Japanese dishes use fish stock, even when they look vegetarian. Iheb checks for you.
