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.

5.00Zack is a wealth of information. Even though this tour was only a couple of hours, I learned much than just the area of the tour, which was Shibuya. We went into nooks and crannies of Shibuya that I never would have found on my own. Zack covered history, culture and current events in a way that made it interesting and fun.

5.00We toured Shibuya with Rio, beginning at the JR station and walking the busy crossing. Our guide began with a lovely into to the area, keeping us engaged with fun facts and statistics about Shibuya and relating it to her experience as a child growing ip in the area. We then visited an isekaya popular with locals and our guide told is about the drinking and foodie scene in Tokyo. The tour was very well planned, great attention to detail and full command of the English language. It was a pleasure to see Shibuya through the eyes of a local, since we learnt things we wouldn’t otherwise know from the travel guides.
