About this experience

Explore the hidden gems of Tokyo on a guided e-scooter tour. Discover the quiet neighborhood of Shōtō, the prestigious shrine of Yoyogi-Hachiman and the trendy Oku-Shibuya district.

Only minutes from the chaos of Shibuya Crossing lies the neighborhood of Shōtō, Komaba and Yoyogi, one of Tokyo’s best-kept secrets. We will pause in a park near Yoyogi to soak in the atmosphere, park the bikes to grab a quick snack from a local bakery and take photos in a spot tourists never find.

Next, roll through the charming streets of Yoyogi-Hachiman and Yoyogi-Uehara—neighborhoods that feel like cozy Tokyo suburbs but are just a short ride from the city center. See traditional houses standing beside sleek, minimalist architecture, quiet shrine, and locally loved bakeries and coffee shops.
