Amazing half day tour full of cute surprises in Harajuku!
Published on Jan, 2025
It can be quite daunting to visit Harajuku with so much to see but Mutsuko’s half day tour was perfect for my teenager daughters. She took us to such cool and fun places that we could never have found by ourselves. A fantastic tour!
Great experience

Kiyo was a wonderful guide. We had an amazing time visiting the sites, sounds and tastes of Kawaii Tour in Harajuku. We would highly recommend Kiyo!!
Eriko was Truly Fantastic!
Published on Oct, 2024
Picture the scene ... a couple in their 50s with their teenage niece in tow wanting to spend several hours in the throbbing heart of Harajuku ...
Quite a daunting prospect but that's where the Half-day Kawaii Tour and Eriko (our guide) enter the scene.
It was very clear from the first few minutes that Eriko and our niece had a fantastic bond and that Eriko knew exactly where to go, what to see, and what to do.
We use private guides a lot but it is rare for one to exceed our expectations by so much. Virtually everything she suggested was an instant success with our niece and she adapted the program as went went along to focus on things that were of most interest ... including assistance in the dressing up photo booth and helping to translate all the instructions to get the classic strip of photos produced.
We purposely chose a Sunday afternoon visit to get the full Harajuku effect ... which meant it was completely mobbed with teenagers and tourists. Eriko was able to weave our way thru' the crowds, find the specialist shops, and also the hidden alleyways to enhance the experience.
We honestly don't know what could have been done to make the afternoon more successful. Eriko - thank you for care and attention throughout our time with you!
If it was possible to give a 6 star review we would!!!

A Must tour for the real Harajuku
Published on Aug, 2024
Kaori was amazing and very flexible with us ensuring our tour was very customizable and fit our interests. We wanted to see the real Harajuku and experience like a local with art galleries and other treasures. She delivered and still also took us to places our kids would love too… if I could give more than 5 stars I would.
