5.00Had a really great time on this tour with Amy! She was super knowledgeable and explained everything in a really interesting and easy-to-understand way. I liked how the tour showed both the bright and lively side of Shibuya, but also its darker history with stories about the yakuza and Japanese ghosts/yokai. The 2-hour walk went by really fast because it was so engaging, and Amy was happy to answer questions throughout the tour. Ending at the sacred cemetery was also a really cool and memorable way to finish the experience.
Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Eimi was our guide and she explained each area she brought us to in detail. We walked around Tokyo at night and learnt about the city's dark history and culture through the lens of a local. Tour ends with a walk through Aoyama cemetery. We walked quite a fair bit, so it's the perfect post-dinner activity. Definitely an insightful experience to remember.
Friendly, knowledgeable guide
