Real experiences from real travelers
Riccardo was amazing! He showed us hidden gems in Ura-Harajuku we never would have found. The contrast between the shrine and the city was mind-blowing.
We booked the small group walking tour. Our guide Keiko was so sweet and knowledgeable about the history of Meiji Jingu. The crepe on Takeshita street was a delicious bonus!
The tour content was excellent, covering both fashion and history. Just be warned, Tokyo in August is incredibly hot. The guide was great about finding shade, though.
We did the street go-kart add-on. Driving through Shibuya Crossing dressed as a superhero is a core memory now. Make sure you have your International Driving Permit!
This was our first day in Japan. Walking from Harajuku to Shibuya helped us understand the train system and the geography. Highly recommend doing this early in your trip.
The walk is about 3km total. Easy for us, but wear good shoes. The ending at Shibuya Sky (ticket bought separately) was the perfect sunset finish.
I was worried about my teens getting bored at the shrine, but the guide kept them engaged with stories, and then they shopped till they dropped in Harajuku.
Even as a local, I learned new things about the history of the Hachiko statue. A wonderful way to see the city with fresh eyes.
