Overview

Experience the sophisticated harmony of modern design and traditional art on this 2-hour guided walking tour. We begin at Omotesando Hills, an architectural masterpiece by Tadao Ando, where luxury fashion meets innovative urban design.

Next, we dive into the creative energy of Cat Street. This trendy pedestrian walkway, hidden from the main thoroughfares, is the best place to discover local Japanese style, street art, and the unique “Ura-Harajuku” culture.

Finally, we transition from modern fashion to historic masterpieces at the Ota Memorial Museum of Art. Dedicated to the world of Ukiyo-e (woodblock prints), this museum provides a serene and profound cultural conclusion to your journey, showing you the artistic roots that continue to inspire Japan today.

You can do the tour with local guide and learn about traditional Japanese culture.
