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.

5.00This was the perfect introduction to Shibuya with places and landmarks we likely would not have found on our own. Nikki was our guide and she was lovely! She gave great explanations of each area, answered all of our questions, had a great sense of humor and helped us find different dining options nearby. The tour was well paced, not dragging, but not rushing through each stop to just check it off. It was exactly what we were hoping for and would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand speaking English. The tour included our family only so we received Loc’s (our guide) full attention. I would highly recommend this tour to get to know the Shibuyu history and culture, as well as some hidden places to visit when the tour is over!
