Full description

Wander off the neon-lit main streets and world-famous scramble intersection and into the nostalgic heart of Shibuya, where history lingers in the alleyways, and flavors tell the story of Japan’s post-war time. On this immersive night out, our expert guide will transport you to a time when Showa-era Japan was rebuilding, innovating, and indulging in the simple pleasures of great food and good company. Slip into hidden local gems, beloved by Tokyoites for generations, and taste your way through the soul of the city. Savor a steaming bowl of rich, umami-packed ramen from a shop that has satisfied loyal customers for over six decades. Bite into crispy, golden kushikatsu—deep-fried skewers —paired with a perfectly poured drink. Step into a cozy bar where craft beer flows, and regional specialties change with the seasons, just as the locals love it. And for the grand finale? We won’t spoil the surprise, but expect a nostalgic treat that will make your inner child grin. Shibuya’s past and present come alive in every sip, bite, and story—are you ready to taste history?

Great Food, Mixed Experience The food on this tour was exceptional — outstanding quantity, quality, and variety. We enjoyed generous portions of delicious local specialties. However, finding the meeting spot was very difficult. The instructions pointed to a mural that had been taken down with no clear alternative. Our guide Mae was friendly and knowledgeable, but she seemed awkward and not very engaging. She didn’t encourage group introductions, so we felt disconnected and noticed other guides were much more lively. She’s nice and knows her material, but may be better suited to a different role. Hoping the company can provide support without this affecting her job. The food made it worthwhile, but better logistics and energy would improve it.

Very disappointing, far from town and no real food tasting.
