Shibuya · Written by a resident · Free while we test

The real Shibuya,
made for you.

Someone who lives here writes a walk-and-eat plan around your dates, your pace and your tastes. It arrives by email — no guide walks with you, and you choose how long it runs.

Request your plan

What this is

Not a list.
A plan with your name on it.

You tell us your dates, how long you want to be out, how much you like walking and what you want to eat. Someone who lives in this part of Shibuya writes the plan for those answers — and only those answers.

The places come from how Japanese people here actually rate them, and from having sat in them. Not from the lists that get handed to every visitor.

Around Shinsen, Oku-Shibuya, Tomigaya, Yoyogi-Hachiman and Yoyogi Park.

What you receive

One email, three parts

  • 01
    A route Where to start, which way to turn, where it is worth slowing down. Built to the length and time of day you asked for.
  • 02
    Where to eat and stop Chosen for your tastes and anything you avoid, with what to order and roughly what it costs. Names stay in your plan, not on this page.
  • 03
    How to be there The small things — whether to queue, whether to pay at the counter, when a place would rather you did not photograph it.

How it works

Three steps, no meeting point

You never have to be anywhere at a fixed time. That is the whole point.

We write it

A resident writes your plan by hand. Not a template with your dates dropped in.

You walk it

It arrives by email. You go when you like, at the pace you like, alone.

The mood

What the walking feels like

Residential streets, a park you can cut through, somewhere warm at the end of it.

If you would rather not book it yourself

Some places here are hard to reserve from abroad. We are working out whether to help with that. It is not open yet — leave an email and we will write when it is.
