Tokyo Shrine and Fashion District Walking Tour
See Tokyo's biggest contrast in one afternoon, from the chaos of Takeshita Street to the stillness of the forest behind it.Overview
This tour moves through two sides of the same neighborhood that most visitors experience separately.
Harajuku is one of Tokyo's most recognizable streets. Meiji Jingu is one of its most important shrines. They sit minutes apart, and the contrast between them is one of the things that makes this part of the city worth spending time in.
Your Local Expert takes you through both. They handle the context, the history, and anything that needs local knowledge to get right. Before the tour, they will reach out through the TOMOGO! app to find out what you are after.
Most guests spend two to three hours in the area.

Tour Reviews
Really fun tour!
She was awesome, very friendly and knowledgable, we got to see places we haven’t seen yet, and she taught us how to use chopsticks! She brought order to a chaotic itinerary. We really appreciate it and thanks a lot!
Tomogo’s Harajuku tour is super fun and I recommend this to everyone. There are soo many speciality stores that are very unique and in addition to the cuteness (kawaii) culture there is a great (Meiji Jingu) shrine with a great park nearby and there are many interesting desert and coffee shops in the main Takeshita street.
Harajuku felt like my kind of area. A bit colorful and full of fun little corners. Enjoyed seeing it from a local perspective. I even went back again after the tour to revisit different stops.
The tour was amazing. We did a tour of the shrine and learned about the different meanings of what takes place when you go to pray and after. It was so insightful. We also got to check out the shops on Takeshita Street and try some snacks.
