Tour Reviews
Really fun tour!
She was awesome, very friendly and knowledgable, we got to see places we haven’t seen yet, and she taught us how to use chopsticks! She brought order to a chaotic itinerary. We really appreciate it and thanks a lot!
Tomogo’s Harajuku tour is super fun and I recommend this to everyone. There are soo many speciality stores that are very unique and in addition to the cuteness (kawaii) culture there is a great (Meiji Jingu) shrine with a great park nearby and there are many interesting desert and coffee shops in the main Takeshita street.
Harajuku felt like my kind of area. A bit colorful and full of fun little corners. Enjoyed seeing it from a local perspective. I even went back again after the tour to revisit different stops.
The tour was amazing. We did a tour of the shrine and learned about the different meanings of what takes place when you go to pray and after. It was so insightful. We also got to check out the shops on Takeshita Street and try some snacks.
