Itinerary

  1. 1

    Hachiko

    15 min

    An example of loyalty and friendship: the statue celebrates the dog Hachiko, who, after the death of his owner, continued to wait for his arrival every day, returning from work.

  2. 2

    Shibuya Crossing

    15 min

    Known as Shibuya Scramble Crossing, it is one of the most famous spots in Tokyo. Illuminated on all sides by the lights and neon of advertising signs, it is the most congested intersection in the world. At peak hours, it can reach up to over 2,500 people, crossing from every direction.

  3. 3

    Shibuya Hikarie

    20 min

    A building almost 183 meters high, used almost entirely as a shopping mall.

  4. 4

    Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho

    15 min

    Of all the alleys found in Shibuya, the most picturesque is Nonbei Yokocho. Similar to the style shown by Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku, the street stands out for the large number of clubs and bars specializing in alcohol and drinks.

  5. 5

    Omoide Yokocho

    15 min

    In line with the nostalgic atmospheres of vintage Japan in the Showa age, Omoide Yokocho is a set of very narrow and rustic alleys, in contrast to the lights and neon of the modern buildings. In every corner there are various small Izakaya where people can savor that nostalgic atmosphere even more deeply.

  6. 6

    Kabukicho

    15 min

    It can be considered the largest red light district in Tokyo, with a high concentration of hostess clubs, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. It is also famous for the Godzilla head placed at the entrance of the Toho Building.

  7. 7

    Shinjuku Golden Gai

    15 min

    Golden Gai, literally translated as "Golden Block", refers to a set of six narrow alleys not far from Kabukicho. There are around 200 pubs, bars and izakaya all crammed into a very small space. Each of these alleys generally comes alive from 8 pm onwards, making Golden Gai one of the most visited nightspots in Shinjuku.
