This hidden gem nightlife tour will show you a side of Shibuya that tourists never see. Step back into history, and visit spots and have experiences that locals have enjoyed for decades! Visit drinking and dining stalls that are hiding in plain sight. Learn about the culture of Tachinomi bars where diners snack on local seasonal dishes and drink with friends and coworkers. Try some of the best local Ramen at a favorite shop that has stood the test of time–serving local fans for over 60 years! And have a dessert experience that you will never forget.

5.00Dianti was our guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the various types of Japanese cuisine/dishes but also the culture and history associated with the foods. Would highly recommend this tour.

5.00We did the best of Shibuya food tour with Jane. It was fantastic. Jane is so friendly and helpful, with so much local knowledge, history, tradition and food preparation. We ate so much, and in places we would never find without her. The sushi was to die for! We couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Historical Shibuya

5.00We enjoyed our tour of Retro Shibuya. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the area we visited. Seeing how some of the history is preserved in the food and design of the area gives you an appreciation of the culture. We especially enjoyed walking the historic hidden alleyways.
What a great tour around Shibuya.

5.00Wesley did a fab job showing us the more traditional food scene. It’s quite a compact tour so you don’t walk too far . Which means you spend more time learning about the area and eating, or drinking. We liked that. The Ramen stop was particularly good and we ended up the night in a very traditional bar about the size on my garden shed ! Excellent .
Best tour

5.00Jane was absolutely stellar. She has an in depth view and consortium of knowledge which really gave us a distinct understanding of the retro food scene in and around Shibuya. Would highly recommend. The amount of food is immense and the drinks were steady. All the goods I swear.
