Overview

Explore Shibuya with your own local guide on a private walking tour through the neighborhood’s iconic sights, lively streets, city views, and modern culture.

Begin at the Hachiko Statue and hear the story behind Japan’s beloved symbol of loyalty. Then experience the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing before walking through Shibuya Center Gai and Dogenzaka.

Next, see Shibuya from a different perspective. After crossing at street level, visit two viewpoints overlooking Shibuya Crossing and the surrounding cityscape.

Continue to MIYASHITA PARK via colorful Shibuya Yokocho. If you wish, stop for Japanese matcha or a matcha latte, then visit JUMP SHOP for a taste of Japanese pop culture and browse a selection of Shibuya-themed souvenirs.

Because this is a private tour, you can explore at a comfortable pace with your own guide. Your guide will also take plenty of candid photos during the tour and share the digital files with you afterward.
