Fantastic tour with Hiro in lovely Shimokitazawa

I really enjoyed the tour and had a fantastic time in Shimokitazawa. It’s a lovely and somewhat alternative part of Tokyo full of vintage stores, restaurants, creative shops etc.! Hiro was such a lovely guide and showed me places that I would have certainly not found (or understood) myself. He’s also a musician, designer etc. and deeply rooted in the area. I highly recommend joining his tour - it was so much fun!

Great tour in a hip neighborhood. :)

This is a lovely little tour around a non touristy parts of Tokyo. Perfect opportunity to meet some real people and learn how they live.

Excellent tour

My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. It was informative and gave us a lot of information on Shimokitazawa from shopping, food, culture, and things to do.
