About SideGuide: Tokyo Travel Guide
Your Tokyo trip, fully loaded before you board the plane. SideGuide is an AI-powered Tokyo travel guide that works completely offline. Download the Tokyo pack at home, then explore Shinjuku, Shibuya, Asakusa, and beyond with a local expert in your pocket — no SIM card, no roaming charges, no hunting for Wi-Fi. ASK TOKYO ANYTHING Chat with an on-device AI that actually knows the city. "Where should I eat ramen near Shinjuku Station at midnight?" "How do I get from Narita to Shibuya?" "Is Asakusa worth it in the rain?" Ask by typing or just talk — voice input is built in. Answers stream instantly and privately, right on your iPhone. 295 HAND-PICKED TOKYO PLACES No tourist-trap filler. Restaurants, izakaya, sushi counters, and ramen shops locals actually queue for. Temples, gardens, museums, and viewpoints worth your limited days. Neighborhood deep-dives across Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza, Asakusa, Akihabara, Ueno, and Roppongi. TOKYO'S TRANSIT, DECODED The Tokyo Metro and JR lines are famously overwhelming. SideGuide explains which line to take, how IC cards work, and how to get anywhere — in plain English, offline. OFFLINE MAP WITH EVERY PLACE PINNED A beautiful dark map of Tokyo with all 295 places pinned. Tap a pin for the full story, save it to your trip list, and navigate without ever touching your data plan. ESSENTIAL JAPANESE PHRASES Order food, ask directions, and be polite doing it. The phrases you'll actually use, ready even when you're offline in a basement izakaya. BUILT FOR TRAVEL DAYS • 100% offline after one download — airplane mode friendly • Private by design: your questions never leave your iPhone • Save places into your own shortlist • Cinematic, fast, and designed for one-handed use on a packed train PRICING SideGuide Pro is $4.99/month and includes the full Tokyo guide plus unlimited AI queries, voice input, and mini-guides. Prefer not to subscribe? Get the Tokyo guide as a one-time $2.99 purchase. Cancel the subscription anytime in Settings. MORE CITIES COMING Tokyo is our first — and deepest — city. More destinations are on the way, but if Tokyo or Japan is on your itinerary, this is the guide built for you. REQUIREMENTS SideGuide's AI runs on-device using Apple Intelligence, so it requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or newer).
