Shibuya is one of the most electrifying neighborhoods in the world — but crossing the famous scramble intersection is just the beginning. This 2-hour tour opens with Taro Okamoto's monumental mural, then plunges into the hidden side of Shibuya: the gritty nightlife alleys of Dogenzaka, the mysterious love hotel district, and the underground culture most tourists never see. We then shift gears entirely — stepping into the peaceful greenery of Yoyogi Park and the serene 1,000-year-old Okuden Shrine, where the city noise fades away. From there, we race through Parco and Miyashita Park before discovering Tower Records and Nonbei Yokocho, a nostalgic alley still breathing the spirit of old Tokyo....
