Full description

This is a 4-hour experience from Tokyo, built around Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho, Shibuya Crossing and Dogenzaka. It is run by Japan Magic Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers Guide, Walking tour and All fees and taxes. It does not cover Transportation fee, Meals or drinks and Insurance, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hachikō Memorial Statue. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Japan Magic Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We were incredibly fortunate to have such an exceptional guide, and it is truly difficult to put into words just how remarkable this experience was. From the very first interaction, everything was seamless, professional, and reassuring. It was immediately clear that we were in the hands of someone who is deeply passionate about their work and genuinely committed to delivering an unforgettable experience. The level of professionalism was flawless: perfect punctuality, excellent organization, clear communication, and a well-structured itinerary that never felt rushed or rigid. What truly set thi

Jay took us around Shibuya and Shinjuku and showed us some places we might not have seen otherwise. He took us to a couple high end restaurant/night clubs where my adult kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our tour was scheduled for 4 hours but Jay stayed with us for about 6 and made sure everyone made it back to our hotel safely. Absolutely an amazing experience and definitely recommended. A+++

It turned out for my tour I was the only person. I chatted Jay on what's app and said what I had seen as I was here for 3 day already and told him my interests up front in stead of doing it when I got there and he taylored my experience add some things that were not usually on the tour (vinyl record shops, a funky shopping center and a Vinyl Bar). All were great and not expected. Easy to talk to and get along. Would have no issue recommending it. Cheers I had a great time.

Not a food tour. A one to one sample of two of the best Tokyo areas.

Sam was amazing! He was fun, knowledgeable and very interesting. We walked through colorful backstreets that we would never have found on our own and had the most incredible dinner with him at a small inexpensive family owned Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to get Sam you’ll understand why!

We recently went on a night walking tour, and we can confidently say it’s a must for anyone visiting the area! Our guide, Sam, was incredibly accommodating, kind, and friendly, and he quickly became a friend, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and included. As we navigated the vibrant streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku, we enjoyed a beautiful meal that exceeded our expectations, all while engaging in lively and meaningful conversations. The energy of the city at night is truly magical, and Sam’s insights into the culture and history of the area made each moment even more special. It was more tha

We struggled to get to the meeting place on time but kindly Sam waited for us for which we were very grateful. We found Sam very easy to talk to and had suggested a few things that interested us and he took us to see these things over and above what he showed us on our tour . He was very easy to speak to, and we enjoyed our time with him Dinner was absolutely delicious , a special ramen restaurant we would never have found on our own , we travelled on the underground for a short part of our tour and felt that he quietly directed us all tnd time caring about our interests as well as what he cou

Jenny is a wonderful Tokyo local who knows her way around the major sub-cities of Tokyo. Such knowledge allows for planning to see great places to visit or eat at that are out of the way of the crowded tourist areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hachikō Memorial Statue
The price does not cover transportation fee (guest), meals or drinks and insurance (we advise you to obtain appropriate insurance coverage before embarking on your journey in japan). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
Guide, Walking tour, All fees and taxes
The duration of the 4 Hours Shibuya - Shinjuku Night Tour is typically 4 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination. Guides typically arrive 10 minutes early and will message you on WhatsApp.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Razorpay for Indian cards. All payments are processed through a PCI-compliant secure gateway with 256-bit encryption. You can also pay in multiple currencies — the price is automatically converted to your local currency at checkout.
Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
