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" . The itinerary will allow for a quick sample of the different styles of each of the architects including Tadao Ando and Kengo Kuma. A total of 17 toilets opened within a span of 4 years, from 2020-2023. 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. Because of the very specific approach of this tour, guests seeking a more general guidance of Tokyo should look into my other tours. Otherwise it may lead to an awkward situation for both you and the guide.
This is a project that is entirely in the Shibuya area of Tokyo but it is spread out, so we will be doing short rides on the trains in addition to walking between the sites. On this tour, you will see works by the following Japanese architects. *Tadao Ando *Kengo Kuma *Fumihiko Maki *Toyo Ito *Shigeru Ban In addition, the industrial designers Marc Newson and Kashiwa Sato also contributed to this project. We will be seeing their works also. We will finish near the Shibuya Station, which is an interesting area to explore and also a great transportation hub to get to the other major areas of the city.
