All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Shibuya is the pulsating heart of modern Tokyo, a district where futuristic neon facades clash beautifully with retro Showa-era alleys. While millions cross the famous Scramble Crossing, the real magic lies in the smoky backstreets where locals unwind. A Shibuya food tour is more than just a meal; it's a deep dive into Tokyo's complex dining culture. You'll navigate the labyrinthine Nonbei Yokocho (Drunkard's Alley), squeezing into tiny bars that seat only five people, and explore the subterranean wonders of Depachika (department store food halls). From sizzling Wagyu beef and melt-in-your-mouth sushi to savory Okonomiyaki and crisp Sake, these tours unlock flavors and locations that are often inaccessible to travelers without a local guide.

We booked the 13-dish tour and it was a marathon of deliciousness. From sushi to wagyu, everything was top tier. Our guide Rio was funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We did the private family option with our two teens. They loved the purikura photo booth stop and making their own okonomiyaki. It kept them engaged the whole time.
The food was great, but the highlight was Nonbei Yokocho. We would never have found those tiny bars on our own. It felt like stepping back in time.
Considering how expensive Tokyo can be, getting this much food and drink plus a guide for under $100 is a steal. Come hungry!
The bar crawl was legendary. We met so many locals and tried sake I'd never find in the UK. The guide bridged the language gap perfectly.
I'm Japanese but live in Osaka. Taking this tour in Shibuya showed me hidden spots I didn't know about. A great way to rediscover the city.
It wasn't just eating; we learned about the history of Hachiko and the Shibuya development. The context made the food taste even better.
The wagyu beef skewer was the highlight. The group size was small (6 people), so we all became friends by the end of the night.
