The Japanese Akita dog is remembered for his remarkable loyalty and fidelity to his owner, for whom he continued to wait at Shibuya Station every day for nine years following his masterās unfortunate death. A popular spot to watch the organised chaos is from the second floor of Tsutaya Starbucks.

Omoide Yokocho, is a narrow lane made up of small restaurants, bars, and shops. Itās a small slice of Japanese back alley culture. For such a small space, thereās a lot going on. Itās chaotic in the best way possible. The lanes look like theyāre from a bygone era, and contrasted sharply from the modernity of the surrounding Shinjuku District. Omoide Yokocho actually has a second nickname, āMemory Laneā. This is a reference to the fact that the alley has changed very little over time. The heavenly smell of street food and brightly lit lanterns will draw you in. This is a great place to capture some old-timey Tokyo Instagram shots, as well as some tasty Japanese food!
30 minutes
Shinjuku Golden Gai is a small area in Tokyo with a lot of character. It has a unique and alluring nightlife scene. Small bars are clustered together and weave through narrow alleys and passageways. The lanes are only wide enough for a single person to pass-through. Because of this compact size, itās the perfect place to take some pics of Tokyoās city streets. Youāll easily be able to capture all the unique elements in one frame. At night, when the lights go out, and the lanterns and neon signs turn on, this area is especially magical.

Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien literally means "six poems garden" and reproduces in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden is a good example of an Edo Period strolling garden and features a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.

Yoyogi Park (代ć ęØå ¬å, Yoyogi KÅen) is one of Tokyo's largest city parks, featuring wide lawns, ponds and forested areas. It is a great place for jogging, picnicking and other outdoor activities.

Odaiba (ćå°å “) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a set of small man made fort islands (daiba literally means "fort"), which were built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against possible attacks from the sea and specifically in response to the gunboat diplomacy of Commodore Perry. More than a century later, the small islands were joined into larger islands by massive landfills, and Tokyo began a spectacular development project aimed to turn the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. But development was critically slowed after the burst of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
5 minutes
Shibamata (ę“å) is a neighborhood on the eastern end of Tokyo, not far from the Edogawa River which is the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-school charm from yesteryear and is a perfect break away from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions to see is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple not far from the station.
5 minutes
Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezuātwo of the neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo's old downtownāretain their last-century charm. You'll find historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine tucked away among shitamachi's narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops and retro stores selling old-style sweets and snacks. Here you can slip back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Tokyo with Hideaki as my guide. He was the most informative guide Iāve ever had and he has the kindest spirit. We hustled around Tokyo, breaking only for lunch! Iām so impressed with how much I got to see, and Hideaki taught me how to navigate the subway system so I was able to do it alone the remainder of my trip. I cannot recommend this tour enough!!
An amazing time touring Tokyo!

I had Hideaki for this tour and he was absolutely the most amazing guide Iāve ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable, and knows Tokyo like the back of his hand! We covered so much ground in our time, that I feel as though I got a very good representation of what Tokyo has to offer. Hideaki is very informative and extremely kind, and I could not have had a better experience!! Thank you, Hideaki!! Vanessa
