Begin your tour by finding out why Japanese food culture is considered one of the most unique cuisines in the world. Known to be a region with good rice and water, get a sample of traditional sweets and sake from the Niigata prefecture.
Known as the heart of Tokyo's vibrant youth culture and colorful pop art, you'll experience a truly unique cultural experience that you won't get anywhere else. Stop by a souvenir shop filled with traditional crafts from various places in Japan.
Harajuku is known for its kawaii (cute) and adorable culture. Aside from the fashion, toys and character merchandise has been supporting the kawaii culture in Harajuku. Stop by the famous Kiddy Land to find fun toys that even adults can enjoy!
Discover the city's less traveled areas! Unravel hidden spots, untold stories and a different side to the wonderfully crazy culture of Harajuku as you make your way through side streets and alleyways.
Continue your foodie adventure by trying some sweets that you can only find in Japan! Ready your tastebuds as you try ice cream with a Japanese twist. If decadent sesame ice cream isn't your thing, try a colorful unicorn ice cream to show your friends on instagram!
Among the many fancy boutiques and fashionable shops, check out the many shops carrying Japanese goods. Take this opportunity to let your guide help you find a perfect souvenir.
Tucked within the streets of Harajuku, follow your guide through the artistic alleys to a pop okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake) shop. Ask your guide for some recommendations along with a drink to accompany your meal!
Weave through the busy streets as you explore the many leading brands of Japanese pop-culture. Find some crazy-looking sweets and mouth-watering pastries to wrap up your Harajuku tour.
