Tour description
Discover the secret side of Shibuya on this night walking tour through Tokyo’s youth culture and underground world. This is not the Shibuya of Instagram selfies and fashion — this is the part of the city where image, money, and nightlife meet behind closed doors.
On this tour, we will explore:
-
Shibuya Center-Gai
Walk through the heart of Shibuya nightlife. Learn how the area has become a playground for young people, where trends, drinking culture, and casual encounters mix every night.
-
Love Hotels of Dogenzaka
See Tokyo’s most famous love hotel hill and understand how these businesses work and why they are such a common part of Japanese urban life.
-
Enjo Kōsai & Dating Cafés
Learn about the world of “compensated dating” — where some young women meet older men for money or gifts. Understand the line between dating and transactional relationships in modern Japan.
-
Hidden Bars & Rooftop Lounges
Discover secret bars, influencer hangouts, and places that operate in a legal gray zone — often hidden above ramen shops or behind unmarked doors.
-
Scams, Drugs & Party Culture
Understand how party drugs are quietly sold in nightlife areas, and how tourists can fall victim to drink-spiking, bar scams, or police surveillance.
-
Social Media Fame & Tokyo Image Culture
Explore how Shibuya is now a hub for Tokyo’s young influencers, aspiring models, and nightlife “celebrities” who chase fame, money, and status through the nightlife economy.
It is an educational and cultural exploration based on real stories and local insights.
