How we choose what to list

Last updated: September 2026

Shibuya Sky Tours is an independent guide — not Shibuya Scramble Square, not a tour operator, and not a booking platform. We compare a focused catalogue and link you to Klook, GetYourGuide or Viator where you pay.

What gets on the site

  • Products we can link to on a major partner with a live affiliate URL
  • Experiences centred on Shibuya — Sky, Crossing, karts, walks, food
  • Listings with enough public detail to describe meeting points and policies honestly
  • No duplicate listings for the same operator route under different names

How we write tour pages

Each experience page includes an editorial verdict, pros and cons, partner ratings where published, and cancellation notes from the partner listing when we last checked. Reference prices are rounded guides — final price and availability are always on partner checkout.

We do not invent star ratings. When a partner shows a review count, we pass it through; when they do not, we leave it off.

Price and policy checks

We spot-check headline prices against partner listings and update reference amounts when they move materially. If you see a mismatch at checkout, the partner page wins — email info@shibuyaskytours.com and we will correct our summary.

Affiliate relationships

We may earn a commission when you book through our links, at no extra cost to you. That does not change which products we list. Read the full affiliate disclosure on this site.

Photographs

Tour card images come from Wikimedia Commons where possible, with author credits on our photo credits page. They illustrate the neighbourhood and experience type; they are not official venue marketing shots unless labelled otherwise.
