This tour was an absolute blast! Amber was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. We explored parts of Harajuku and Meiji Shrine that we would never have discovered on our own. Amber went above and beyond to learn about our food preferences and led us to some amazing shops along the way. Her generosity was evident when she held our drinks while we explored the shops. We sampled so many exciting foods—I highly recommend this tour!

Nice tour through Harajuku and the surroundings. The start at Meji Temple was incredible, and the Yakiniku afterwards made it worth it. Our luck with the weather wasn’t the best, so a bit of the charm of the area was missing. Be prepared to point out at things you want to try along the main road as there are so many, and all delicious. Chisato our guide was knowledgeable and great fun to chat to. We look forward to more tours.

Akira was amazing. We had never been to Japan and he made us feel like we belonged. He showed us two amazing restaurants and so much shopping. I would absolutely recommend him for this tour. I had so much fun on this tour and would book again without hesitation

We participated in the tour as a family of four, including our two children aged four and six. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sushi, grilled meat, and desserts, leaving us all happily full. Although our two energetic sons were a bit noisy at times, Mr. Hamada, our guide, was very kind and accommodating. It was especially appreciated that children could join for free, truly making it a kid-friendly tour. It was also excellent to learn about the halal restaurants. Experiencing the local atmosphere of Asakusa made this a memorable tour. I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re traveling with children or not.
