Tokyo Station Marunouchi BuildingGinza Wako Clock Tower (start and finish)
4.5 km1 h 5 min6 stops6 languages
Longer than it looks: the palace plaza is huge and has little shade. On weekend afternoons cars are kept off Ginza's main street.
Nothing else to pay on the way
Shibuya to Harajuku
$9.99
The scramble and Hachiko, Cat Street, the Omotesando avenue, Takeshita Street and the cool forest around Meiji Jingu.
Shibuya Crossing and HachikoMeiji Jingu Shrine (start and finish)

A few gentle climbs, nothing steep. Browsing and the shrine stretch it past three hours; the shrine gates close around dusk.
Nothing else to pay on the way
Shibuya to Shinjuku
$17.99
Shibuya Crossing, the karaoke night, the Park Hyatt and the Kabukicho neon from the film's first minutes.
Shibuya CrossingYasukuni-dori, Kabukicho (start and finish)
5.7 km1 h 21 min6 stopsEnglish
One 40-minute stretch has nothing from the film, and a short train ride skips it. Start late in the afternoon to reach the neon after dark.
Nothing else to pay on the way
Shinjuku to Yotsuya

For fans of the film: Shinjuku Station's South Exit, the shelter in Shinjuku Gyoen, the Shinanomachi footbridge and the shrine stairs at Suga.

Yes. Pick 1 to 10 seats when you buy, one for everyone on the walk, you included. Each person hears the same stop at the same moment on their own phone.
Not for the stories: tours you own download to your phone, so the audio plays without a signal. The street map in the app needs a connection.
