About this tour
When Em from our BugBitten team did this Tokyo tour, we traced locations from Jujutsu Kaisen's Shibuya incident arc across the city—matching real streets to manga panels and Netflix scenes. Your guide is genuinely passionate about the series (particularly Nanami Kento, apparently) and can tailor the route to your favourite character fights or iconic moments. It's a 1–3 hour private experience with transport sorted, hitting spots where major battles went down in the story. You'll need a working knowledge of the series to get the most from it, but for anime fans who know the arc, it's a clever bit of location spotting.
Highlights
- Manga-to-real-world comparison: panels beside actual street locations
- Private transport means no herding through crowded group tours
- Guide customises stops around your favourite characters and fights
- Netflix scenes matched to exact filming/story locations in Shibuya
- Optional anime shopping stops at Animate and Ichiban-kuji stalls
- Accessible for wheelchairs, prams, and varying fitness levels
- Guide's genuine fandom evident—not a recited script job
What to expect
Em joined a private tour that felt less like a bus-full sightseeing grind and more like walking Shibuya with a mate who actually knows the series inside-out. The guide met us with manga volumes in hand and walked us through key battle locations—Fushiguro vs. Sukuna's father, Choso vs. Yuji, and others—pausing to hold up panels so we could see how closely the real intersections and buildings match the comic panels. It moves at a relaxed pace; you're walking neighbourhoods, not sprinting between sites.
What surprised us was how specific the locations are. The guide didn't just say "this is Shibuya"—they pointed out exact building corners and street angles used in the anime. If you're mid-series or haven't read the Shibuya arc yet, chunks of this will spoil key plot moments. The optional add-on (anime merch shops and seasonal events) is worth asking about if you've got spare time; those stops feel organic rather than upsold.

Good to know
If you're a Jujutsu Kaisen fan who's seen or read the Shibuya arc, this scratches a real itch—seeing real Tokyo transformed by the manga/anime you've consumed. The private setup means no waiting around for stragglers, and guides are happy to linger on your favourite character's moments. Wheelchair access and pram-friendly routes are baked in, so accessibility isn't an afterthought.
This isn't for casual anime watchers or newcomers to the series—you'll be lost without solid familiarity with the Shibuya arc. Tokyo's weather can be punishing in summer or rainy in other seasons, and you're doing street walking, not ducking indoors. Snacks aren't included, so budget for café stops. The 1–3 hour range is vague; confirm the exact length and which stops are guaranteed when you book. Peak anime tourism (summer holidays, Japanese school breaks) will mean busier streets and crowds at merch shops.
