Victoria and Koto lead a great tour showing the main sights but also some secret spots that I'd never have found on my own. Really learned a lot and enjoyed the scramble crossing and view from above. At the end I could cross by myself and go to the big Manga shop (Magnet). Great Afternoon!!

Amazing Way to Experience Shibuya!

Christina_P, Aug 2026
We had a wonderful time on the Shibuya Highlights Walking Tour! Our guide Hiyori, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience fun from start to finish. We loved exploring Shibuya, learning more about the area, and seeing places we probably would have missed on our own. The secret view spot was an awesome bonus and gave us a great perspective of Tokyo. Everything was well organized and easy to follow. Definitely a great experience and something I would recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo!

The Best Way to Experience Shibuya

Tam_I, Aug 2026
Ayaka was honestly amazing. She was kind, genuine, and made the whole experience feel effortless. There’s nothing like getting a tour from a real local who knows the city beyond the tourist spots. I came to see Shibuya, but left with memories I’ll genuinely hold onto.

Shibuya Walking Tour

Kristine_S, Aug 2026
Ayaka and Yuta our tour guides were wonderful. They explained the area, little bit of history and culture. Showed us some interesting spots, where to eat, drink, shop, take pics and place to relax (and yes, place to relax right in the middle of bustling Shibuya).

Walk and learn from a local

Thomas_H, Jul 2026
I lucked out and had Fukura for my walking tour. It was early enough where I was the only one with him. We did a back alley tour and it was impressive to hear Shibuya’s background and unique characteristic compared to other famous spots within Tokyo. Keep up the great work!!

Great intro tour in Shibuga

MinhLy_N, Jul 2026
Yuki is great. Very knowledgeable. He takes us to local & important places. He keeps the good pace for everyone.

Best way to start your journey in Japan with fantastic tour guide

Great value, informative and fun. Probably one of the best walking tour I ever tried in my life. Big thanks for Yuki and Eugene! 10/10 experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic Shibuya tour, highly recommend!

Imad_E, Jun 2026
Really enjoyed this tour of Shibuya. Ayaka was an absolute highlight; super warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to listen to. She brought the neighborhood to life in a way you just can't get wandering around on your own. The pacing was great, the stops were well chosen, and there was plenty of time to take it all in without feeling rushed. Ayaka was also happy to answer questions and share tips beyond just the official itinerary, which I appreciated. Especially recommend this for solo travelers, it's a great way to get your bearings, meet other people, and actually understand what you're looking at rather than just walking past it. Worth every yen.

Excellent tour!!

Our tour Guide was Ayaka and an amazing guide she was! Told us a the history of every spot we went too. She answered all my questions and was very kind and thoughtful. I asked her about getting Goshuin at the temples. Ayaka showed us her book and how to get them. She also told about a few good place to eat. Every place we travel its important to do this type of tour so you get familiar with the area . It shows you the best spots and locations to visit while your in Shibuya. Awesome tour guide!

Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Major sights around Shibuya crossing covered. Suitable for seniors.

A huge experience packed in a short amount of time

AJ_G, Mar 2026
A huge experience packed in a short amount of time. A nice walk around the Shibuya Crossing area including less famous side streets. Naoto was a fantastic guide, very accommodating knowledgeable, willing photographer and a very friendly personality. Great experience for those that like walking. Hits many highlights and hidden viewing spots.

Mao was great guide

It’s so fun! You get to be among the crowd of people having a good time enjoying the sights of the city!

Great way to familiarize yourself with Shimbuya

Lynne_M, Feb 2026
This was a great tour to get familiar with Shimbuya, and Maya was a wealth of information and an amazing guide. I highly recommend!

Very fun

Jenn_W, Feb 2026
Perfect tour for our first night in Shibuya, especially at night with the lights. The Shibuya crossing is crazy busy so it’s great to go with a guide. I did get a little lost and confused with where we walked, but next time I will map my walk so we could retrace our steps in the day time. The guide took pictures and sent them after the tour. Maybe giving us a map at the beginning would be a good suggestion, so we could orient ourselves (Shibuya was a bit overwhelming on our first night, but it got easier!). Overall fun tour!

Awesome experience with Shibuya walk tour

JESSICA_P, Feb 2026
It was fun, helpful and informative. In a span of less than 2 hours, I learned so much about Shibuya with the guidance Mao Agina.

Great tour from Hannah!

Derek_B, Jan 2026
This was the best tour I have experienced in many countries thanks to Hannah. She was so knowledgable, friendly, and helpful! Her insight and recommendations were much appreciated, as was her exclusive finds. She was truly a breath of fresh air and a great guide to lead throughout Tokyo. So accommodating and attentive. Thanks Hannah!
