What To Expect
Myth of Tomorrow
The Myth of Tomorrow" is a large mural created by the famous Japanese artist Taro Okamoto, located in Shibuya Station, Tokyo. This striking piece depicts the horrors and destruction of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as a broader message of hope and rebirth. The mural, originally created in Mexico and later moved to Japan, was lost for many years before being rediscovered and restored. Now, it stands as a powerful symbol of post-war rebirth and the potential for a brighter future. Visitors to Shibuya can view this iconic work of art in the bustling context of one of Tokyo's most dynamic neighborhoods, making it a poignant stop in the heart of modern Japan.
Shibuya Crossing
Shibuya Crossing, often referred to as "The Scramble," is one of the most iconic landmarks in Tokyo, Japan. Located in front of Shibuya Station, this intersection is famed for being one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Every few minutes, the traffic lights turn red in all directions, allowing hundreds of people to flood into the intersection from all sides, creating a remarkable spectacle of organized chaos. The area surrounding Shibuya Crossing is a hub of activity, filled with shopping, entertainment, and dining options, making it a vibrant snapshot of Tokyo's fast-paced urban culture. It's a must-see for visitors looking to experience the pulse of the city.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide Zach was so knowledgeable and could provide info for a range of participants (ie. young and old alike). Highly recommend the tour, and in particular the tour guide, Zach. As he knew the history of Japan and the area so well, and as we were in a small group he customised the tour.

5.00Loc was a great guide! Enjoyed the tour and learned a lot of information. Saw the statue of the dog in 2 places! It was great to see Shibuya at night with all the lights and hustle bustle and be guided around so we could enjoy ourselves without any stress or worry. The tour was very entertaining thanks to Loc who took pictures of us and gave us recommendations of places to go. Thanks again for a great evening.
