Everything you need to know before booking your Shibuya food tour.
The Shibuya food tour starts from $80 per person. This includes 13 Japanese dishes at 3 different Shibuya eateries, 2 complimentary drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), and an expert English-speaking guide for 3 hours. All food, tastings, and guide fees are included.
You'll meet your guide in front of the 7-Eleven near Chuo-Gai and Tokyu Plaza in Shibuya, at the Kusumoto Building (1-chōme-3-3 Dōgenzaka, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0043). It's a 2-minute walk from the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station and the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
Your tour includes: an expert English-speaking guide, a walking food tour through Shibuya's hidden eateries, 13 Japanese dishes across 3 venues (1 izakaya, 1 street food stall, 1 traditional eatery plus a dessert stop), 2 complimentary drinks, and a walking tour across the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Gratuities are not included and are optional.
You'll taste 13 distinct Japanese dishes across 3 Shibuya eateries plus a dessert stop. The exact dishes vary by season and availability, but expect a mix of izakaya classics, traditional Japanese street food, and a sweet finish. Come hungry — it's a substantial amount of food.
Yes — the tour includes a guided walk across Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the world's busiest pedestrian intersection. Your guide will share the history of the crossing and pause for photos before leading you into the hidden food alleys nearby.
The Shibuya food tour runs approximately 3 hours. You'll visit 3 different eateries plus a dessert stop, starting in Dōgenzaka and ending in Shibuya's nightlife district. It's a walking tour through narrow streets and alleyways — wear comfortable shoes.
The Shibuya food tour centres on traditional Japanese dishes including meat, seafood, and grilled items. Full vegetarian accommodation is difficult given the fixed itinerary across 3 eateries. If you're vegetarian, contact the provider before booking to see what can be adapted. See our dietary restrictions guide for details.
The tour provider asks that you advise on any food restrictions when booking. They'll do their best to accommodate allergies and preferences, but the menu is heavily meat- and seafood-focused. Contact the provider before booking if you have severe allergies.
Both are 3-hour small-group tours by the same provider with a 4.9/5 rating. The Shibuya tour visits 3 eateries (13 dishes), centres on the Shibuya Scramble area and Dōgenzaka, and starts at $80. The Shinjuku tour visits 4 eateries (15 dishes) through Omoide Yokocho and Kabukicho, and starts at $74. Shibuya is younger and trendier; Shinjuku is more nostalgic with its Memory Lane alleys.
With a 4.94 out of 5 rating from 201 guests, it's one of the highest-rated Shibuya food tours on GetYourGuide. For $80 you get 13 dishes, 2 drinks, a guided walk across Shibuya Scramble, and a local expert who takes you to eateries you'd never find on your own. Guests consistently mention it as a Tokyo highlight.
Wear comfortable walking shoes — you'll be on your feet for 3 hours through Shibuya's narrow streets and stairs. Dress casually. Shibuya gets hot and humid in summer (light layers) and chilly in winter (warm coat). There's no dress code at the eateries.
The Shibuya food tour runs rain or shine. The 3 eateries are indoors, so most of the food portion is covered. Bring an umbrella or light rain jacket for the walking portions between venues. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before.
The standard tour is small-group (capped at around 8 guests), but private bookings may be available — ask the provider after booking. For larger groups or family bookings, contact them directly via the GetYourGuide platform.
Gratuities are not included and are entirely optional. Tipping is not customary in Japanese culture, but international guides appreciate it if you feel the experience was exceptional. There's no expectation or pressure to tip.
