How Shibuya tours differ
Most Shibuya tours are walks of 1.5 to 3.5 hours in English. They differ in what they cost and in what the price covers. A walking tour can be free apart from a tip. A food tour includes tastings. A bar-hopping tour charges for the guide, and the drinks are extra.
The examples below come from single providers. They show what one product costs, not a market range. Listed prices are starting prices, not final checkout prices for every date, and a published offer does not show free places on your day.
Tour examples compared
Prices in 2026. Each row is one provider's product.
| Tour | Length | Price in 2026 | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daytime walking tour (Tokyo Localized) | About 1.5 hours | No fixed price, tip | English guide, advance registration |
| Night walking tour (Tokyo Localized) | 1.5 to 2 hours | No fixed price, tip | English guide, advance registration |
| Daytime food tour (Arigato Travel) | 3 hours | Adults from JPY 26,400, children 3 to 12 from JPY 13,200 | Tastings at five stops, one drink, dessert |
| Bar-hopping tour (MagicalTrip) | 3 to 3.5 hours | Food and drinks extra, plan about JPY 6,000 cash per person | Three stops, English guide |
The tip-based walks have no price to compare, so the cost is whatever you decide to give. The bar-hopping tour is the only example where you pay twice: once for the guide and once on the spot.

The four examples in detail
Meeting points, groups and cancellation.
Daytime walking tour
You register in advance. Spontaneous participants are not taken. The meeting point is in front of SABON on the 3rd floor of Shibuya Mark City, and the tour ends at Hachiko. Children can join with an adult, and children up to 15 do not count towards the group size. At most five counted people can book, so larger groups book privately. Strollers are possible, but the tour is not wheelchair accessible. There is no cancellation or no-show fee.
Night walking tour
Same meeting point on the 3rd floor of Shibuya Mark City, same end at Hachiko. The length is given as 1.5 to 2 hours, so do not plan a tight schedule after it. The price is a tip, and the walk is not a package with bar entries or drinks.
Daytime food tour
This tour starts at 13:00, and guests gather between 12:45 and 13:00. The meeting point is given in your booking confirmation, so check it there. You taste samples at five stops, with one drink and dessert. Extra orders, transport and tips are not included. Allergies and diets are not guaranteed, and a stop can be replaced. Children aged 3 to 12 pay from JPY 13,200, children up to 2 are free, and from age 13 the adult price applies.
Bar-hopping tour
You meet in front of the FamilyMart Shibuya Orchard Road Store, about eight minutes on foot from the JR Hachiko exit. The tour visits three stops and runs 3 to 3.5 hours. You must be 20 or older and bring photo ID. Food and drinks are not in the tour price, and the basic orders are shared in the group. Cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund. Accessibility and allergy-free food are not guaranteed, and vegetarian choices are limited, so ask before you book.
What to check before you book
The wording differs more than the prices do.
Date, product and meeting point
Check that the date, the product and the meeting place match. Public pages do not show whether places are free on your day.
What the price covers
A starting price is not a total. Tastings, a drink, extra orders, transport and tips are covered differently by each tour. Do not carry the terms of one tour over to another.
The evening drinking ban
In the designated area around the station, drinking in streets, parks and other public places is banned daily from 18:00 to 05:00. A tour does not change that. Drink inside the venues of a tour, not on the way between them.
Halloween and the drinking ban →Cash and ID
Bring cash for the bar-hopping tour and photo ID. Everything else depends on the provider, so read your confirmation.
