Activity itinerary

Shibuya (Pass by)
Meeting Place: In front of Shibuya Tsutaya shop near Hachiko Exit of Shibuya station (same building as Starbucks)
Shibuya Crossing
  • 5m
Our journey kicks off at the iconic Shibuya Crossing, known as the world's busiest pedestrian crossing. It's likely you've seen it in movies or music videos. Capture the classic shot of the bustling crowd and Shibuya's illuminated skyline as your backdrop.
Dogenzaka
  • 50m
Next, we'll navigate the vibrant Shibuya nightlife streets to our first bar around Dogenzaka area. Here, savor Japanese beer and relish local grilled dishes, immersing yourself in the heart of Tokyo's nightlife scene. Dogenzaka is a vibrant, youth-filled area packed with clubs and live music venues. Its biggest draw is the energetic atmosphere of bustling izakayas, where you can dig into tasty Japanese comfort food like gyoza and kushikatsu and enjoy the night together.
Udagawacho
  • 50m
Then, we keep exploring Shibuya deeper into the area called Udagawacho—often called Oku-Shibu—mixes Shibuya energy with a laid-back edge: narrow lanes, record shops, music venues, and many moody, stylish izakayas that feel truly deep and local faces of Shibuya. Taste authentic local Japanese food and drinks and know how Japanese locals enjoy the night of Shibuya.
Shibuya Center-gai
  • 40m
At last, your guide takes you to a local bar or karaoke bar. We continue to hop on to Izakaya bars in Shibuya. Many tiny pubs and bars offering various types of food and drinks hide in a building in this alley. Unlike other food alleys, this alley's festive atmosphere occupies a whole floor in a huge building that hosts many types of local bars and pubs!
