Fun, Cute Experience - Great experience. I had a great time and wish it was longer than 3 hours. So many cute shops and thrift finds. I wish more information on the place but it was rainy that day

Recommended!! - Max was awesome. He customized the tour to include exciting options for my daughters aged 11 and 12. Knowing about the history and culture of Harajuku really helped us appreciate the area much more than we could have on own. Also having a local show us all of the hidden corners also gave us a more thorough enjoyment of Harajuku.

Memorable tour - Ken and Anne are fantastic guides! They made sure the group knew the history of the areas that we visited and of the foods we tried. They stopped and let us explore any stores we passed by and really made the tour memorable. Highly recommend!

Good tour - I was alone with my guide Yoichi. He told me a lot about the area. We had a good chat. I can recommend the tour.

Great Guide - Our guide, Megumi , was amazing! She was able to tailor the tour to our interests. She even managed to get my 15 year old (who is not into anything cute) to engage and have a good time.

Fantastic time in Harajuku!! - WOW! A one-of-a-kind experience! Our gracious guides, RYO & AIO, were incredibly kind and helpful! They both went out of their way to make sure our family experienced the best of what Harajuku has to offer! Lunch was beyond delicious & a highlight! Another highly memorable moment was TeamLab at Galaxy Harajuku! An immersive experience- we will not forget! RYO & AIO met us as strangers, but within moments, due to their warmth- it felt like enjoying the day as friends!

Highly recommended - great tour - Ken was a fantastic tour guide. He gave us lots of additional tips of places to go. Harajuku is a vibrant area and we got to enjoy thing we normally wouldn’t have tried by ourselves.

Great way to experience Harajuku - I had an awesome time with our guide Hana. We were lucky to have a small group of two; practically a private tour. Hana was sure to show us the many different sides Harajuku, from the bright, colourful side of Takeshita Street to the artsy more traditional and upscale side of Omotesando Avenue. Most enjoyable and memorable was getting to cook your own okonomiyaki (come hungry) and experiencing Catching in the Sacred Forest. I highly recommend this tour, there was time to shop for a few souvenirs without feeling rushed. As an added bonus on the walk to drop off point Hana was kind & gave a brief overview of the history & significance of the Meiji Shrine as she knew we wanted to visit.

Fun tour but would benefit from more planning - Ken and Anne were very nice and knowledge me about the kawaii culture. We tried some of the popular foods of Harajuku (cotton candy and crepes) and enjoyed okonomiyaki! We went to the Samsung store nearby to have a teamlabs experience which was fun but didn’t seem to fit with the kawaii culture. The tour could have been better organized as well.

Explore on your own instead - Minimal info about the area - no insight about culture, fashion, or much else. But it’s a fun area to explore. No need for a guide - all the stops are very much on the beaten path and easy to spot. Photos from guide were not high quality.
