Description
Meet at your accommodation and transfer to the dynamic district of Ikebukuro. Stroll the Otome Road and shop in Sunshine City.
Next stop will be Shin-Okubo and its lively Korean district. From there, we'll walk to Shinjuku and discover both sides of the station: the Western side and its high-rise buildings (we will go up the Metropolitan Government Office building, offering a fantastic viewpoint on the city), and the Eastern side where all come, play and shop.
Transferring to Harajuku, we'll visit the famous Meiji Jingu Shrine, make a brief stop in Yoyogi park, and stroll down Takeshita Street.
Walking the fashionable cat street, we'll reach Shibuya, its crowds and its neon lights towards the end of the afternoon.
We will use public transportation between each stops, and discover the city on foot, but a car can be arranged upon request. The itinerary is somewhat flexible and can be modified to accommodate your wishes.

I am a French national, residing in Tokyo for 19 years.
I am one of the very few non-Japanese fully licensed guide-interpreters, licensed in both English and French (I am of course fully fluent in Japanese).
I have spent the last few years re-discovering lesser known and lesser traveled neighborhoods, obscure areas and local attractions of Tokyo, as a hobby and for my own pleasure.
Bringing people to this "deeper Tokyo" is a hobby of mine.
I am fully aware I am not a native, but as I was a visitor myself when I first arrived, I can say with confidence that I clearly understand what a visitor could find interesting in Tokyo.
