Highlights
This tour with a niche theme is intended mainly for fans of Japanese architecture or guests who have seen the movie about them. It was back in 2020 when some of the top names in Japanese architecture joined a project to redesign public restrooms in Tokyo's Shibuya district. The project got additional attention when Wim Wenders featured them in his film "Perfect Days". A total of 17 toilets opened within a span of 4 years, from 2020-2023. On this tour, we will see a few that stands out the most, and was designed by famous architects such as Tadao Ando or Kengo Kuma. The visit will include several key locations featured in the film, such as the lush green space where Hirayama, the main character always had his lunch. We will finish at Shibuya Station which will be a convenient location for going to other areas of Tokyo. Of course, you can choose to stay and explore the area a little more.

About Tokyo
Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.
Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
