What To Expect
Meiji Jingu Shrine
We will take the subway from the nearest station to your hotel to reach Meiji Shrine. Completed in 1920, this shrine is a tribute to Emperor Meiji, a key figure in modern Japan during the 19th century. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the serene forest surroundings and appreciate the distinctive Shinto-style architecture.
Shibuya Crossing
The journey from Meiji Shrine to Shibuya Station is a short one, taking only a few minutes. Situated in the heart of Shibuya City, one of the 23 wards in Tokyo Metropolis, the station is known for its iconic pedestrian crossing. Just outside Shibuya Station, you'll have the opportunity to capture a photo of the world-famous Hachiko dog monument!

Great Tour of Tokyo with Izumi!

5.00We had an amazing tour of Tokyo with our guide, Izumi! Izumi was wonderful and we were able to see so much more of Tokyo on the tour than we would have on our own. She helped us navigate the subway system, which would have been challenging otherwise. She spent an extra half hour with us after the tour ended, ensuring that we found our way back to the subway station and could make our way back to our hotel without getting lost. She brought candy for us, collected our trash, helped our kids with spills, and taught us about the local culture. It honestly would have been such a challenging day seeing everything on the itinerary on our own. Definitely book this tour if you are looking to see a lot in one day with ease!
Great tour, get your rest before hand!

5.00Our tour guy was super patient and accommodating for some of our slower travelers. It was a great way to get acclimated to the city and orient ourselves for the rest of our trip. Getting to ride the train was super helpful for us to learn how to navigate. It can be a long day, so make sure you rest up and are ready to walk!
Excellent way to see Tokyo!

5.00We had a great time with Yoshi! The sites were all really crowded, but he made it really easy to navigate and answered all of our questions. We learned so much about Japanese culture and history. And he was very accommodating with the different things we wanted to do!
