Ask for Hitomi! - Really enjoyed this tour. Special thanks to our guide Hitomi. She definitely made the most of our time. She gave so much information and made plenty of fun stops throughout the tour including a shopping at the Daiso, trying local snacks, and stopping at a photo booth place. She also gave us time to do some shopping after a great lunch. Would highly recommend her. She was awesome

Great way to experience Harajuku! - Ken was wonderful! He went above and beyond to show us Harajuku and the surrounding areas, making sure we got in everything we wanted to see and eat, and then some! It was a great way to see what can be an overwhelming area!

Great private tour of Takeshita Street in Harijuku - We had a fantastic tour of Harijuku, specifically Takeshita Street, with our guide Ken. We sampled some of the classic foods including rainbow cotton candy, and crepes, and then Ken took us for an okonomiaki lunch. We stopped in several unique retail stores stores along the way. At every stop, Ken would help translate for us. Our teenage kids enoyed Ken's insights. Ken's knowledge of the area and friendly style made for a wonderful first day in Tokyo. He even went out of his way and spent extra time with us to help us get into one of the animal cafes on Takeshita after our tour was complete.

Fun! - Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. My daughter and I enjoyed it, despite it being so hot. She made sure to adjust our schedule due to the heat.

Great Harajuku experience with lunch! - We really enjoyed our 3 hours with Megu in the Harajuku area! While I’m sure we could have shopped along the street on our own, Megu gave us some background info and provided us with little extras- like taking out pics, making our name in Japanese characters at the Sanrio store, introducing us to the cotton candy and crepe stores that we may have missed otherwise. The lunch was a special treat! She also brought us to this great museum exhibition that we wouldn’t have known about- super fun! We never would have found this place on our own and having a local teach us how to cook the onkonomiyaki gave us confidence to do it! And it was SO tasty. Can’t wait to do it again on our own now.

Just book it. And ask for Hana. - If I could write the world’s smallest review I’d so DO THIS TOUR. We had Hana and not only was she the sweetest lady, but she showed us all the hot spots in Harajuku and little off the beaten path places. We shopped, we ate, we took a million pictures. It was a ton of fun thanks to Hana. We loved her so much.

Wonderful and a time to remember - The trip was very scenic and memorable, Ken was a very knowledgeable tour guide and was very verse with the whole area and I was able to learn such a lot for the entire tour and even get some tips for other nearby attractions like Meiji Shrine. every second of it was a blast from Takeshita street, the Galaxy team labs to the lunch at Sakuratei and Harajuku area tour. it was a time to remember. Harajuku is a very colorful and vibrant culture, will visit again
