Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

At Shibuya Crossing, you’ll step into one of the world’s most iconic urban scenes — a dazzling intersection where the energy of Tokyo truly comes alive. Here, cutting-edge technology meets vibrant street fashion, illuminated by towering LED screens, while the orderly chaos of hundreds crossing in unison captures Japan’s unique blend of innovation and tradition. Your guide will not only help you capture the perfect “Instagram moment” but also share insights into the area’s culture and atmosphere. As we explore the surrounding streets, you’ll glimpse izakayas tucked into narrow alleys, trendy shops showcasing the latest youth culture, and flavors that tell the story of modern Japanese life. This is more than sightseeing — it’s your chance to feel the pulse of Tokyo, connect with locals, and take home memories that go far deeper than a photograph.

Step into Shibuya’s vibrant nightlife — just minutes from the famous Scramble Crossing — for a memorable Wagyu experience at Wagyu Niku Yokocho.

Here, you can enjoy premium Japanese Wagyu, often presented so guests may select cuts for grilling. From tender, marbled favorites to unique selections, each bite reflects Japan’s dedication to flavor and craftsmanship.

As the aroma fills the air, your English-speaking host shares insights into Japan’s beef culture and Shibuya’s growth into a hub of style and local life.

The retro-inspired interior blends the charm of a traditional meat market with Shibuya’s creative energy. Sitting close to travelers and locals, it’s easy to exchange smiles, toast with sake or shochu, and share the joy of discovery.

Before you leave, we’ll take a photo as a keepsake and give you a map of hidden bars and late-night spots to continue your Tokyo night like a local.
This is more than dinner — it’s a flavorful slice of Tokyo where tradition and modernity meet.

Stop 3

Join your local English-speaking guide in the heart of Shibuya Center-gai for an evening that goes beyond the usual tourist path. Over about 100 minutes, you’ll be led through lively backstreets and into two carefully selected bars or eateries — places rarely found without local knowledge. Enjoy distinctive food and drinks that showcase Japan’s rich culinary culture, from savory small plates to unique local beverages, while hearing stories about Shibuya’s history, pop culture, and hidden gems. Along the way, connect naturally with fellow travelers or locals, exchange toasts, and capture moments that become more than just photos — they become part of your Tokyo memory.
