Overview

Shibuya is one of the most visited neighborhoods in Tokyo. Most people see the crossing, walk the main streets, and leave feeling like they covered it. There is a lot more to it than that. This tour is for guests who want to see the neighborhood properly. Your Local Expert takes you through the streets, alleys, and hidden corners that do not show up on a standard tourist route. A secret park, local shrines, independent shops, and the parts of Shibuya that have stayed quiet despite everything around them.

Before the tour, your Local Expert will reach out through the TOMOGO! app to find out what you are after. The tour gets shaped around that conversation.

Our guide took us to some amazing hidden spots in Shibuya. The crowds were a bit much, but the food made up for it. Highly recommend!
