This tour is tailored more towards First timers to Japan. However we will explore Shibuya and discuss the history and relevant time pieces.

The tour aims to showcase the different parallels of Tokyo. From the futuristic modern society to the formal cultural safe haven and practice of the Japanese people.

This tour is a great introduction to the area. You will learn simple foundational principles of Japanese culture as well as have the opportunity to visit and take photos of some of the most famous sights in the world.

By the end of this tour, my aim is for you to leave with a greater knowledge of these sights as well as a deeper appreciation for Japan and its beautiful culture.

Please note that this tour will not finish at the same starting point. The tour will finish at Meiji Shrine/Harajuku JR station.

The tour lasts 2 hours
