Can you believe it?\n\nWelcome to our first stop on our Tokyo tour. We're going to check out Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Here you'll see how Tokyo mixes modern life and history. You'll find busy city life, hidden parks, and tempting food all right here.\n\nCan you picture this? Every time the walk sign lights up, as many as 2,500 people start crossing from all different directions. You'd think people would bump into each other but they never do! Isn't that wild? As we stand here, think about what it would be like when this area first opened up in 1932.\n\nLook around at all the tall buildings, bright ads, and colourful lights. You'll spot the famous Shibuya 109, a hotspot for stylish trends since the late 70s. Even before this area was known for its trendy clothes, people shopped here.\n\nHere's a fun challenge: try to find the Hachiko statue. Hachiko was a loyal dog that waited for his owner every day, even though his owner had died. If you find the statue, be sure to show your respect, it's a local thing.\n\nFor those of you who love cool things, check out the world's tallest Starbucks that overlooks the Crossing. From downstairs, it looks like a usual Starbucks, but go upstairs and you'll feel like you're in a movie. You have to see it for yourself, you won't forget it!\n\nTake a moment to soak in the bright lights, the tastes, and the culture of Shibuya. Feel the energy of Tokyo. Having fun so far?

Brace yourselves as we dive deeper into Tokyo's vibrant culture with our next mesmerising stop, Yoyogi Park. Are you aware that this expansive, verdant expanse was once the site of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics athletes' village? Remarkable, isn't it?\n\nAs your trusted guide, allow me to reveal the park's layers of history. A vibrant mix of city, nature, cuisine, culture, and history, Yoyogi Park offers an engaging glimpse into Tokyo's ever-evolving spirit. Right under your feet, a dynamic space came to life decades ago, hosting world-class athletes. Today, it serves as an urban haven for both locals and visitors.\n\nHave a look around, my friends. This park makes you forget you're in the middle of one of the world's busiest cities. Such tranquillity, right? Enjoy the verdant views, listen to the cacophony of chirping birds, and let the mild breezes rejuvenate your soul.\n\nYoyogi Park has gained a reputation as a favourite Sunday retreat, where Tokyo's eclectic subcultures come out to play. As we stroll past the green expanse, don't be surprised to witness a Cosplay-zoku member elegantly dressed in a unique costume or a Rockabilly Club member swaying to the tunes of the 50s. It's a fascinating, living melting pot of diverse cultures.\n\nNow, let's take a little challenge. Can anyone spot the round-shaped wooden arch nearby? Yes, that's a \"torii,\" the gateway to the tranquil Meiji Shrine, which honours Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Remember, it's customary to bow slightly before passing through.\n\nAnd now for some insider scoop. Amid this city park's widespread foliage is a hidden treasure - a traditional tea house. How about we indulge our taste buds with authentic matcha tea and Japanese sweets? What better way to embrace Japanese culture!\n\nWith a renewed sense of calmness, we can start to make our way out of Yoyogi Park. But don't rush! Absorb the peaceful aura, and when you're ready, signal me. Our tour, rich in culture and sprinkled with engaging interactions, marches on. As you take in the beauty of Yoyogi Park, bear in mind that you're walking through a remarkable timeline, breathing in a unique blend of Tokyo's past, present, and future.\n\n"}]},{"address":"Meiji Jingu","placeId":"ChIJ5SZMmreMGGARcz8QSTiJyo8","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.13768512890151668,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":35.67452168313247,"longitude":139.6986156},"media":[{"type":"place","content":{"place_id":"ChIJ5SZMmreMGGARcz8QSTiJyo8"}},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FJrX9zePFrNks4azR4UbD%2Fmeiji-jingu-iStock-499807771-1024x600.jpg?alt=media&token=a3e05d88-1edb-46ff-8782-a92f9900e7f6"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FJrX9zePFrNks4azR4UbD%2Fmeiji-jingu-shrine-main-complex-200210134821003.jpg?alt=media&token=27d83f11-ccfe-40d4-b5f9-d923d71b6761"},{"type":"text","content":"Ladies and gentlemen!

Intriguingly, did you know this imperial Shinto shrine, dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken, is encircled by a vast 170-acre forest, all in the heart of bustling Tokyo?\n\nIn our Tokyo tour, our focus today is not only the bustling cityscape but also the rich culture and heritage that makes Japan unique.\n\nAs we stand here, the sheer grandiosity of Meiji Jingu is nothing less than awe-inspiring. Look at the magnificent Torii gate, built with cypress more than 1,700 years old, marking our entry into this spiritual world. The story behind its construction is fascinating. The shrine and the forest were created in the early 20th century, and more than 100,000 trees were planted by the people of Japan as a sign of respect and love for their emperor and empress. Can you feel that connection as you personify the surrounding trees? Feel free to take a moment here to reflect.\n\nIf you look towards the central main shrine, you will notice its pristine simplicity, a hallmark of Shinto architecture. Inside, away from prying eyes, are sacred treasures and symbols. Challenge yourself: Try to spot some of them! And while you are at it, why not partake in a traditional Shinto practice of making a wish on an ema?\n\nHave you noticed the enormous collection of Sake barrels stacked and bound by straw? These are a tribute from Sake brewers across Japan, symbolizing a connection between the divine and the earthly. Its brewing process is as rich and layered as the history itself. And who knows, we might get to experience that in a future culinary adventure!\n\nOnce you've taken it all in, and the tranquillity of Meiji Jingu has seeped into your consciousness, signal when you're ready to dip back into the city's verve. Our journey in this harmonious blend of cityscape and nature, delicious gastronomy, and entrenched culture continues.\n\nAs your guide, I promise to fill your travel journals with memories worth reminiscing. So, let's share a laugh, marvel at the beauty of our stops, and lose ourselves in the stories that make Japan what it is today.\n\n"}]},{"address":"Takeshita Street","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.13768512890151668,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":35.67103351139898,"longitude":139.7051821},"media":[{"type":"place","content":{"types":["route"],"formatted_address":"Takeshita St, 1-chōme Jingūmae, Shibuya City, Tokyo 150-0001, Japan","geometry":{"viewport":{"east":139.7067739,"south":35.6694702197085,"north":35.6721681802915,"west":139.703024},"bounds":{"east":139.7067739,"south":35.6698337,"north":35.6718047,"west":139.703024},"location":{"lng":139.7051821,"lat":35.6710335},"location_type":"GEOMETRIC_CENTER"},"address_components":[{"types":["route"],"short_name":"Takeshita St","long_name":"Takeshita Street"},{"types":["political","sublocality","sublocality_level_3"],"short_name":"1-chōme","long_name":"1-chōme"},{"types":["political","sublocality","sublocality_level_2"],"short_name":"Jingūmae","long_name":"Jingūmae"},{"types":["locality","political"],"short_name":"Shibuya City","long_name":"Shibuya City"},{"types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"],"short_name":"Tokyo","long_name":"Tokyo"},{"types":["country","political"],"short_name":"JP","long_name":"Japan"},{"types":["postal_code"],"short_name":"150-0001","long_name":"150-0001"}],"place_id":"ChIJlVne8bqMGGARtX5O6ojMvsI"}},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FJrX9zePFrNks4azR4UbD%2Fimage.png?alt=media&token=98d98526-3cc0-4c7a-b2e1-4c090fc856d8"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FJrX9zePFrNks4azR4UbD%2FTakeshita-Crowds-Harajuku-iStock-624490332-aon168-1024x600.jpg?alt=media&token=1917b281-6df6-4486-ad27-380b9273bd10"},{"type":"text","content":"Konnichiwa, dear explorers!

Now, we'll be adding a touch of kawaii culture, brimming history, and a palatable start to this youthful journey.\n\nWhile remaining still, allow your eyes to roam through the busy crowd ahead. Can you locate the entrance to Takeshita Street marked by a grand, distinctive gate? Its installation in the 80s coined the street as a symbol of 'kawaii' culture—an exciting time that I witnessed in my teenage years!\n\nAs we walk along the crowed crammed street, you can observe numerous boutiques, stalls selling street food and sweets, and enticing crepe stands—a part of Takeshita’s culinary delights. Do you smell the sweet scent of freshly baked crêpes wafting through the air? This is the perfect place to satiate your sweet tooth.\n\nEven as a guide, I still find my heart skipping a beat each time I step onto this street, remembering my heady youth, hunting for quirky outfits from second-hand stores. And speaking of which, did you know? Many global designers seek inspiration from these local trendy boutiques.\n\nNow, let's take a moment to closely watch the people around us. You might be lucky enough to spot some Harajuku Girls; those charming young ladies dressed in outlandishly delightful fashion styles. Spotting them is similar to witnessing a live, open-air fashion show!\n\nTake your time here, explorers.

It's a part of Tokyo's 2nd half tour, which gives you a glance into Culture, Nature, and History, together draped beautifully under the City and Culinary tags. Shinjuku Golden Gai reflects the surge of post-war Tokyo, representing the grit and tenacity that truly uncovers the spirit of this metropolis as we know it today.\n\nNow, imagine it's the 1950's, black market trading is at its peak, this labyrinth of narrow alleys was known as the \"black market of Shinjuku.\" Sounds like a tale from a Martin Scorsese flick, doesn't it? Maybe a little less dramatic, but the Golden Gai made a remarkable transformation from that into the vibrant and engaging cultural hub we see today, brimming with cosy Jazz bars, art clubs, and very intimate eateries.\n\nLadies and gentlemen, if you look around, you might get a whiff of a cooking aroma wafting from that little Izakaya on the left. Let's try out some Yakitori there - a famous Japanese culinary delight most of you won't resist, trust me! Also, did you know that entering some bars in Shinjuku Golden Gai might require an introduction from a regular? But worry not, our insider connections have got us covered!\n\nThe architectural finesse of the Golden Gai is awe-inspiring. The bars are crammed together as small as they are, making you feel like one big family sharing a single living room. As we walk these dimly-lit alleys, you can feel the sense of nostalgia in the air. It is one of those rare places where time seems to stand still amidst the ever-evolving city transformation.\n\nBut there's even more to discover here! I challenge you to find a bar dedicated exclusively to punk rock, another to cinematic masterpieces, and a third to the world of Jazz, and yes, each and every one of them fits in less than ten customers at a time!\n\nAlright, once you've taken it all in, your next task awaits you at our next stop. When you're ready, just give me a sign so we can continue our exciting journey. Just remember, as much as Shinjuku Golden Gai is about the past, it's also about the present: its rhythm, the people, the laughter, and its sheer liveliness.

Are you excited to see the oldest Shinto shrine in Tokyo that was built before Tokyo itself?\n\nNezu is a mix of city life, historical sights, nature, and delicious food. It shows you both the old and new sides of Tokyo.\n\nFirst, let's take a walk around this quiet neighbourhood. We'll go through tiny streets filled with well-kept traditional wooden homes. As we walk, you'll feel how calm it is - not what you'd expect in busy Tokyo! This is where I spent a nice afternoon, poking around in little shops and cafes and really getting a feel for old Tokyo.\n\nNow we're in the middle of Nezu. Take a minute to look at the Nezu Shrine. Created over a thousand years ago, its beautiful red and gold gates still look amazing. Can you picture leaders from the Edo era long ago visiting this place during tough times? Let's walk under the row of Torii gates. Their bright orange colour creates a beautiful path leading back in time.\n\nNot far from here is another neat spot. As we get closer, see if you can spot the yozakura, special cherry blossoms that bloom at night. Also nearby is a place that makes Unagi, or grilled eel, a popular local dish with a yummy sweet and salty taste. It's believed to give you more energy, especially when enjoyed with a cold glass of Japanese sake. Here's a tip: the unagi places in Nezu are some of the best in Tokyo.\n\nAs we explore Nezu, you'll see how modern style and old traditions blend together, feel the energy of the city, taste delicious food, and enjoy the peace of nature.\n\n"},{"type":"text","content":"We hope that you enjoyed this tour and discovering Tokyo as much as we enjoyed guiding you.
