Explore Harajuku and Omotesando’s landmark architecture, Olympic sites, boutiques, and backstreets on a private Tokyo walking tour.

“This was the first tour we took on our visit to Japan and it really helped orient us to the history, culture and etiquette. As a private tour, our guide, Junko, welcomed our little detours for things we were interested in. She tailored her explanations to our level of knowledge and interest in architecture very well. It felt like a very knowledgeable friend showing us around. Junko went above and beyond by helping us navigate the subway to our next destination. Junko was an excellent guide and and very nice person. I highly recommend this.”
