A trip to Tokyo is a journey to the thin veil between reality and the world of fantasy. Whether you are a devoted manga fan or simply wish to feel the pulse of modern Japan, this two-day itinerary will take you from the underground labyrinths of Shibuya to the soaring skyscrapers of Roppongi.
Day 1: Shibuya; Surrounded by Curses and Fashion
On this day, all locations are within walking distance, so there is no need for taxis or subways once you arrive at the hub.
Shibuya Station: Where the Incident Began
Start your exploration at the Hachiko Exit. After snapping a photo with the legendary loyal dog statue, head deep underground
to the Fukutoshin Line platforms. This is the exact site where Satoru Gojo faced Jogo and Hanami in a breathtaking battle before being sealed in the "Prison Realm." The narrow corridors and subway platforms, particularly Exit 13, are haunting reminders of the bloody "Shibuya Incident" struggles.
Tourist Experience: Don’t miss the view of the famous Scramble Crossing from the surrounding buildings. Inside the station, be sure to try the specialized Ekiben (train bento boxes) priced between $7 and $14. If you plan to use the subway to get here, tickets cost approximately $1.50 to $2.50.
Pro Tip: Before lunch, head up to the Shibuya Sky observation deck for a 360-degree panoramic view of the city beneath your feet.
Lunch at Gusto (Dogenzaka): Dining at the Curses' Hangout
A 5-minute walk will lead you to the Dogenzaka branch of Gusto—the spot fans recognize as the secret meeting place for Kenjaku
and the Special Grade Curses. Sit on the crimson chairs and imagine the atmosphere of the scene where Jogo unleashed his fiery rage.
Recommended Menu: You must order the Cheese-In Hamburg Steak; a juicy steak filled with 10 types of delicious cheeses. For about $3.50, you can also enjoy the unlimited Drink Bar. A full meal here costs around $7 to $10.50, making it very budget-friendly. Orders are easily placed in English via tablets on each table.
Shibuya 109: An Icon of Fashion and Survival
This cylindrical tower, which glowed in the background of the battle between Itadori and Choso, is your next destination. At the start of the Shibuya Incident, the tower’s facade symbolized the entrapment of humans beneath the "Curtain."
Shopping & Fun: This 10-story mall is the heart of Japanese street fashion. Brands like Sly and Moussy offer unique apparel. A full outfit costs roughly $35 to $100. Finally, visit the Purikura (fantasy photo booths) and capture a memory for about $3.50.
Day 2: From Roppongi Luxury to Harajuku Fantasies
Today, the contrast between modern architecture and Japanese pop culture will amaze you.
Mori Tower & Roppongi Hills
At the beginning of the Jujutsu Kaisen story, Nobara Kugisaki dreamed
of a mission in such a luxurious locale. Furthermore, Mori Tower is a primary location for Taki’s date in the anime film Your Name (Kimi no Na wa).
Art & Sightseeing: Start by visiting the Mori Art Museum on the 53rd floor, then head to the Sky Deck to see Tokyo at its widest expanse. Entry is approximately $14. In the outdoor plaza, viewing the giant spider sculpture (Maman) is free. Budget about $5.50 to $8.50 for a coffee with a dreamlike view.
Transit and Lunch
Take the Hibiya Line for a 10-minute ride to Meiji-jingumae Station near Harajuku. Grab a quick lunch nearby to prepare for an afternoon of walking.
Takeshita Street: Nobara’s Colorful Hangout
This high-energy street is where the comedic first meetings of Gojo’s team—Megumi, Itadori, and Nobara—took place. Nobara famously
explored this crowded area with shopping enthusiasm.
Foodie Experience: Harajuku isn’t complete without crepes! Head to the famous Marion Crepes or Santa Monica Crepes. Try the Strawberry Brownie or Banana Chocolate Custard for $4 to $5.50. Unique accessories along this street are priced between $14 and $35.
End of the Day: At the end of the path, retreat to the vast Yoyogi Park. Find peace among the lush green trees and reflect on the memories of this magical journey.
Tokyo is more than just a backdrop for your favorite stories; it is a living, breathing entity where the line between a manga panel and a city street often disappears. Following the footsteps of Itadori or Taki isn't just about sightseeing—it’s about discovering the magic hidden in the mundane. Whether you’re a sorcerer at heart or a dreamer seeking a connection, Tokyo awaits to write your own legendary chapter.
