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.

5.00I visited Tokyo a total of 4 times and never really got to knew Shibuya expect walk pass by certain spots just to get going with my itinerary. This trip made me explore some places with Loc as my guide. Loc is a very friendly, easy to talk to guide. I felt like I was talking to a friend and got to really explore Shibuya and visit places I would have never really visited on my own like Miyashita park, Myth of tomorrow, Nonbee yokocho, and Maruyamacho. Loc made the experience that much better. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and I would definitely sign up for other tours if I know Loc would be my guide
Great way to visit Shibuya

4.00Although the meeting point wasn’t easy to find, once started, this tour was informative and interesting. The sights were varied, and the relevant historical details shared helped place the Shibuya area in perspective. The humidity slowed us down a bit, but breaks were taken as needed, and the pace adjusted to accommodate a senior traveler.
Informative and fun
