Frequently asked questions about audio tours of Tokyo

Is there a self-guided audio tour of Tokyo?

Yes. Avsha generates a personalized, self-guided audio tour of Tokyo on the fly — press play and it narrates a story about wherever you're standing, from Senso-ji Temple, Shibuya Crossing, Meiji Shrine to a quiet corner of Asakusa. No fixed route, no guide, and it works on any street, not just the famous ones.

What's the best free audio tour app for Tokyo?

Avsha is free to start (3 stories, no signup) and built for Tokyo: it tailors each story to your interests, travel mode and language (60+ supported), and never repeats. Unlike a fixed catalog of a few recorded stops, it can tell the story of any spot in the city.

Can I use it offline while walking around Tokyo?

Yes — with Trip Packs you download stories over WiFi before you go and listen anywhere in Tokyo, even in airplane mode or with no signal.

Do I need to book a tour or follow a set path in Tokyo?

No. Avsha isn't a scheduled walking tour — just open it wherever you are in Tokyo and press play. Wander Asakusa, double back, or stand in front of the Senso-ji Temple and it adapts to you in real time.

How much does an audio tour of Tokyo cost?

It's free to try. After your first few stories you can top up with an affordable credit pack or go Pro for unlimited exploring — far less than a guided Tokyo walking tour, and yours to use anywhere in the world.
