Creator's Key Takeaways
We hired our guide off of Viaur. There were six of us that went in together from the cruise. It was $80 per person for a 7-hour day.
I'm very glad we had a guide with us as we were taught the train system throughout the day.
The ramen was absolutely fantastic and piping hot. I will say culturally, you are supposed to do your honest best to finish whatever food was there.
The trains are very cost effective. We did talk to another guest who went she paid Ubers to go to Shabuya on her own and she paid over $270. So, good lord, don't do that.
