Tokyo: Shibuya Local Bar & Izakaya Crawl Tour

A three-hour Shibuya bar crawl through places most visitors walk straight past — an izakaya above the crossing, a bar on the Miyashita Park rooftop, and a counter in the lanes behind Center-gai. Your guide orders, translates and explains, so the evening goes on talking to people rather than working out a menu.

• Three bars in one evening — Scramble Square, Miyashita Park and Center-gai
• An izakaya above the world's busiest crossing
• Backstreet counters that rarely see a foreign visitor
• A guide who orders for the table and translates as you go
• English throughout, no Japanese needed

1. Shibuya Station

   Meet your guide at the Mizuho Bank branch outside the station.

2. Shibuya Scramble Square

   See Shibuya Crossing from above, then go to the first izakaya of the evening.

3. Miyashita Park

   A bar with a local crowd in a lush green rooftop park.

4. Shibuya Center-gai

   The final bar, in the lanes behind the main street.
