Discover the dynamic contrasts of Tokyo on this 4-hour guided walking tour. We start in the futuristic sky and end with a deep dive into Japanese food culture, covering the city’s “must-see” highlights along the way.

1. SHIBUYA SKY (The View)

Your tour begins at Shibuya Station. We ascend to SHIBUYA SKY (Ticket Included), the city’s most popular observation deck. From 229 meters above ground, you will see the sprawling metropolis, the famous Scramble Crossing from above, and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji. It is the perfect place to understand the sheer scale of Tokyo.

2. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (The Oasis)

We head to the Shinjuku area to escape the urban hustle and enter Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Originally a residence of the Samurai and later an Imperial Garden, this vast park features three distinct styles: Traditional Japanese, French Formal, and English Landscape Gardens. We will stroll around the serene ponds and pavilions. For anime fans, this garden is also famous as the setting for The Garden of Words by Makoto Shinkai.

3. Depachika (The Culture)

Finally, we dive into the basement food hall of Isetan Shinjuku Store to experience a “Depachika” — Japan’s unique department store food culture. Marvel at the “jewelry box” presentation of Japanese sweets, premium bento boxes, and perfectly displayed seasonal fruits. It is a feast for the eyes and a fascinating introduction to Japanese gift-giving culture and culinary aesthetics.

The tour concludes at the Depachika, where your guide will be happy to provide recommendations for dinner, shopping, or nightlife in the Shinjuku area.
