Harajuku Meiji Shrine Walking Tour in Tokyo

We booked this tour via Tokyo Localized Free Tour and when we arrived we were the only participants making this a surprise private tour . Our tour guide Yumi was fantastic. Deeply knowledgeable, kind and funny. We left knowing not just about the shrine and the local area but so much about Japanese history and culture. It was a highlight of our time in Tokyo. You never know who your guide will be but if you’re lucky enough to have Yumi you’ll have hit the jackpot!

My family and I had an amazing time exploring Harajuku with Hiroko— she was the perfect guide to give us a local’s view of the area, including an incredible history lesson spanning Japanese culture from ancient times to present day. We were able to experience so much more than if we would have explored on our own; 10/10 would recommend!
