Tokyo Shibuya Small-Group Guided Nighttime Bar Hopping Tour
If you are new to the city and don't speak Japanese, finding Tokyo's best bars (with the signs written in kanji) can be tricky. This small-group guided nighttime tour of Shibuya takes you to multiple izakaya-style bars that you'd be unlikely to find alone. Enjoy handpicked drinks and local dishes (drinks and food extra) along the way, which equate to a full meal, while you soak up the local atmosphere.
Highlights
- ✓Visit a hidden indoor yokocho alleyway bar
- ✓Your guide orders enough dishes and drinks for a full dinner meal
- ✓Discover small bars you'd never find alone, avoiding tourist traps
- ✓Enjoy a more intimate experience with a small group
What you'll see & do
- ✓Just minutes from one of the busiest intersections in the world, Udagawacho sits on a quiet plateau where the developers never quite arrived. Independent coffee shops, natural wine bars, and decades-old record stores line streets that feel nothing like the Shibuya most visitors see. This is where locals actually spend their evenings — and where your night begins, with a seat at one of the neighborhood's most beloved izakayas.
- ✓A pedestrian street that has reinvented itself every decade since the postwar years — from black market stalls to teen fashion mecca to the buzzing dining and nightlife strip it is today. Your guide walks you through the history as you move deeper into the crowd, before settling in at a lively local izakaya that captures everything Shibuya is known for.
- ✓Up to 3,000 people cross from every direction at once — and somehow, it works. Your guide explains how this intersection became a global symbol of Tokyo, and what's changed in the neighborhood towering above it. The perfect place to pause, look up, and take it all in — before disappearing down a side street to a hidden sake bar that most visitors walk right past.
- ✓The bronze statue of a dog who waited nearly a decade for an owner who never came home. Hachiko became a national symbol of loyalty — and the most recognizable meeting point in Tokyo. Your guide shares the story behind the statue before leading you into the city's most iconic neighborhood.
What's included
- ✓3rd Stop: 1+ glass of specialty sake (cash-on-delivery)
- ✓A 3.5-hour tour led by a MagicalTrip-certified guide who knows every hidden corner of Shibuya.
- ✓Pre-game turmeric shot — Japan's iconic drinking ritual
- ✓1st Stop: 5-course meal + 1 drink — pay fresh at the venue, so every yen goes straight to the food.
- ✓Photos taken by your guide throughout the night, sent to you after the tour.
- ✓2nd Stop: 4+ shared dishes + 2 drinks — you split the bill on the spot, Japanese-style.
What's not included
- ✓Food and drink bills, settled on-site at each venue.
