We begin at the very starting point of the incident: the underground levels of Shibuya Hikarie, specifically within Tokyo Metro Shibuya Station. We will trace the tragic trajectory starting from the B5F platform of the Fukutoshin Line, the exact site where the strongest sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, was sealed. This station served as a brutal battlefield between Jujutsu High sorcerers, curse users, and cursed spirits. By standing in the cold, concrete depths of the station, you will witness the reality of the conflict that paralyzed the city and follow the authentic path of the struggle that changed the fate of the sorcery world forever.

Meiji Jingu Shrine is an essential location for uncovering the Curse Origins and the historical truth of the Heian Period—the golden age of sorcery. Within this sacred forest, we dive deep into Japan’s spiritual roots. We will explore the history of the real-life "Onmyoji" who served the Imperial Court, as well as the origins of Japan’s "Three Great Vengeful Spirits" and the "Three Great Sorcerer Families" that haunt both history and myth. Why did Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, call the Heian era the peak of sorcery? Why was that world so saturated with jujutsu? We will unravel these mysteries through the Japanese concept of "Kegare" (Impurity). By understanding Shinto’s unique religious perspective, you will realize that the Shibuya Incident was a modern manifestation of deep-seated fears that have persisted for over a thousand years.

Takeshita Street is where you can catch a glimpse of the daily lives of the Jujutsu High students. For a moment, we step away from the tragedy of the Shibuya Incident and introduce this area as a place where the first-year trio—Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki—enjoyed their brief moments of youth. As the heart of Tokyo's teenage culture and fashion, it is the perfect spot to relive the lighthearted scenes from the series, such as Kugisaki’s excitement for shopping and the trio’s first meeting in the city. Here, you can experience the vibrant atmosphere of Harajuku just as they did, connecting with the characters through the ordinary city life they fought so hard to protect.

Cat Street, like Takeshita Street, was once a place where the first-year students enjoyed their peaceful daily lives. However, it also serves as the likely route that Itadori sprinted through at maximum speed to reach the heart of Shibuya the moment he learned of Satoru Gojo’s sealing. As you walk through this stylish street, you will catch glimpses of the characters' ordinary lives while simultaneously feeling the intense, heart-pounding realism of Itadori racing toward the crisis. It is a unique path where peaceful memories and the urgency of the incident intersect.

In the final stage of our journey, we witness the devastating scars of the unprecedented battles that tore through the heart of Shibuya. From the Cerulean Tower to the iconic SHIBUYA 109 and the massive mural at Mark City, we trace the footsteps of the final, fierce struggles of the sorcerers. The tragedy of that night did not end in silence; it was a mere prologue to the "Culling Game"—the beginning of even greater chaos. This conflict no longer remains within the sorcery world; it has begun to consume us, the "non-sorcerers," as well. Standing in the center of a transformed Shibuya, you are no longer just an observer. You stand at the very threshold where the story continues, and the next era of brutal battle for sorcerers begins.

Toyosu Fish Market Private Tour and Cooking Experience
This tour is unique because normally you don't get to visit Toyosu Market with a local chef, and you can't cook fish purchased and selected by you in the most important fish market in the world. It is also unique because the chef who performs this activity is trained in Japanese and western Mediterranean cuisine, so it is even more attractive for every tourist to try these exotic, super fresh, and special fish the way they prefer.
