Full description

Starts at Hachiko — the bronze dog is the only reliable meeting point in a neighbourhood built to confuse newcomers.

The guide covers the Crossing mechanics (every signal red at once is deliberate), then ducks into lanes like Nonbei Yokocho where postwar shopfronts sit metres from glass towers.

No Sky admission on this tour; pair it with a separate ticket if you want the rooftop afterwards.
