Shibuya & Harajuku: Hidden Gems & Highlights Private Tour

2. Shibuya & Harajuku: Hidden Gems & Highlights Private Tour

Explore one or two of west Tokyo’s eclectic neighborhoods on a guided tour, where the weird and wonderful is never far away. Discover Shibuya, the enormous entertainment district, and Harajuku, the epicenter of Tokyo’s youth culture. You'll be paired with guides that are passionate about the place they call home and who choose to spend their free time sharing it with like-minded travelers matched to them. Jostle your way through hordes of locals on your way to the zelkova tree-lined avenue of upmarket Omotesando, and pass cool designer stores on your way to bright and bustling Takeshita Street, the epicenter of Tokyo’s youth culture exploding with colorful boutiques, cafés, and all things adorable. Next, stop off at the strangely out-of-place Moyai Statue, a massive landmark modeled on the Moai of Easter Island, then make the mad dash across Shibuya Crossing, one of the busiest intersections in the world (and certainly the busiest in Japan). Your personalized itinerary will be planned according to the number of hours booked and adapted to your preferences.

This ramen tour was absolutely incredible! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life period. I like to think I know a decent amount about ramen but Frank actually lives and breathes the stuff. It was so cool getting to pick his brain about all things ramen while trying some of his favorite spots around Tokyo. If I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat, although I would probably try harder to find a friend to come with me so I could try all 4 options at each stop instead of having to choose 2. Overall this was an unforgettable experience, easily the best part of my trip to Japan. I’d highly recommend this to anyone whether you’re a seasoned ramen veteran or a total newbie you’ll be able to get so much out of this experience.

This was a great way to learn about ramen and to taste the different varieties too! If you're someone who already appreciates and have tasted lots of ramen like I have, this is still an enjoyable experience. Many thanks to the thought and care shared by Bunga and Frank in crafting these tours. Definitely come with an empty stomach as you will get full!

The history of Japan through ramen! Such a knowledgeable guide and friendly team. Great atmosphere in the chosen restaurants and the food was superb! Enjoyed by all the family! Would recommend you experience famous Shibuya ramen haunts with Frank and his team - a must for any Tokyo visit!

Frank’s a good guy who seemly navigated is to three ramen shops, discussed the history of ramen, styles, and was part of a nice days of our food crawl. Walking in between ramen shops and the good conversations also added to the experience.

Frank was an awesome and knowledgeable guide and this experience was well worth it. Don’t hesitate. Book it!
