Introducing our Tokyo tours
Tokyo is a city of 37 million people, each of them navigating a version of it that visitors rarely glimpse. A salaryman's Shinjuku is not the same as a student's Harajuku, and the Asakusa a grandmother knows bears little resemblance to the one most visitors photograph.
This is the beautiful problem with the world's largest metropolis. It isn't one city. It's thousands, layered and overlapping, and no group tour can hold that complexity.
VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours offer something closer to a local's perspective. Follow samurai footsteps through Nihonbashi's Edo-era merchant district, or wander Ebisu – what residents call Tokyo's big local
– for its food, boutiques and unhurried charm. In Golden Gai, hear why 200 tiny bars matter more than any skyscraper. And if Akihabara's anime universe swallows your afternoon, just hit pause. Tokyo will wait.
Plug in your earbuds. Walk at your own pace. Let Tokyo speak for itself.

How the VoiceMap app works
-
Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
-
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
-
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
-
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
-
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
-
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
-
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
