Had a fantastic experience on this walking tour! Exactly what I have been looking for. Plus, I was very privileged to be the only guest toured by both Mr. Tetsuo and Ms. Emi who are both very warm and so nice (Mr. Tetsuo gave me a personalized souvenir at the end of the tour ☺️). I will definitely recommend their Meiji Jingu shrine-Shibuya walking tour ❤️
