Activity itinerary

Chuken Hachiko Statue (Tsu City)

  • 10m
Meet your guide at the iconic bronze statue of Hachiko, Japan's most beloved loyal dog, right outside Shibuya Station. Your guide will introduce you to the storey of Hachiko and explain why this square is one of Tokyo's most recognisable meeting points. This is also where you'll get your first glimpse of the vending machines that line the surrounding area — your guide will set the scene for what makes Japan's vending machine culture so unique before the adventure begins.

Shibuya Crossing

  • 10m
Stand at the heart of one of the world's most famous crossroads. Your guide will share the storey behind this iconic landmark — its role in daily Tokyo life and its appearances in global pop culture. While taking in the organised chaos of thousands of pedestrians crossing from every direction, you'll also discover a nearby vending machine that perfectly captures the contrast between Japan's ultra-modern convenience culture and its buzzing urban energy. A great spot for photos before continuing the adventure.

Shibuya Kuritsu Miyashita Park

  • 20m
Explore Miyashita Park, a rooftop urban park built above a shopping complex in the heart of Shibuya. Here your guide will walk you through a curated selection of vending machines ranging from retro coin-operated classics to the latest AI-powered digital signage models at Shibuya Stream. This stop is your chance to compare old-school Japan with next-generation vending technology, pick up a unique souvenir, and try a purchase for yourself — guided by your local expert every step of the way.

Shibuya Center-gai

  • 10m
Dive into the electric energy of Center-gai, Shibuya's most vibrant pedestrian street. Packed with fashion shops, arcades, and fast food joints, this lively alley is a hub for Tokyo's youth culture. As you weave through the crowds, your guide will point out the vending machines tucked between shopfronts — from limited-edition flavoured drinks to quirky snack dispensers that reflect the tastes of the generation that calls this street home. A perfect spot to practise your newfound vending machine skills and grab a drink to fuel the rest of the tour.

Shibuya 109

  • 10m
Standing tall at the heart of Shibuya, the iconic cylindrical tower of Shibuya 109 is one of Tokyo's most recognisable landmarks and a symbol of Japanese street fashion. Your guide will share the history of this legendary building and its cultural significance as a trendsetter for youth fashion across Japan. Right around its base, you'll find vending machines that cater to the style-conscious shoppers who frequent the area — a small but telling detail of how seamlessly these machines blend into every corner of Tokyo life.

MEGA Don Quijote Shibuya

  • 10m
The legendary discount megastore famous for its floor-to-ceiling shelves, flashing lights, and seemingly endless selection of goods. Your guide will take you past the store's iconic exterior and introduce you to the vending machines in and around the area, which often stock exclusive or novelty items you won't find in standard machines elsewhere. From rare flavoured drinks to collectible capsule toys, this stop perfectly captures the wonderfully chaotic and surprising spirit of Japanese consumer culture.
