Tokyo Skytree

As we drive past, you’ll catch Tokyo’s tallest structure shining like a beacon in the skyline. Your guide will point out photo angles and fun facts—but this is a quick visual pass-by.

30 min
A fun and quirky photo stop with Tokyo’s mini Statue of Liberty! The backdrop of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay creates a postcard-perfect scene.

As we cross or view the bridge, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of Tokyo’s night skyline. Watch the lights of the city shimmer across the bay
Shibuya Crossing

Stand in the heart of controlled chaos at the world’s busiest intersection. Capture the scramble and meet Hachiko, Tokyo’s most loyal dog.

Wrap up in Tokyo’s wildest nightlife district. Walk through neon-lit Kabukicho, snap photos of the giant Godzilla Head above Toho Cinema, and feel the pulse of Tokyo’s late-night energy

Night Tour of Tokyo
My daughter and I had fun on our tour with John. The city is beautiful at night, and he took us to several sites in Tokyo. He pointed out places of interest along the route, and we enjoyed chatting with him throughout the evening. He took some great pictures of us as well. I highly recommend this tour.

A night out!
We had a wonderful night on this tour, thanks largely to our guide, John. He was incredibly informative and truly took his time to make sure we had a great experience. Despite it being a rainy night, he went out of his way to be thoughtful, even parking undercover to keep us dry. We were able to see every local spot on our list, and we can’t recommend John and this tour highly enough!
