After meeting, we will take you to “Memory laneâ€, narrow streets full of small Yakitori(skewers) shops and restaurants and enjoy beer and Yakitori as our first spot. Then, we will move to the east part of Shinjuku as most of the businessmen there do after 5PM for the night life. We will explore around Kabukicho-area, one of the safest red-light district in the world with Robot restaurants and Godzilla head and enjoy the 2nd Izakaya.

Awesome tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Hiro was a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. He speaks excellent English. I highly recommend this tour. It was great fun and gave us really good ideas for our next visit.

Worth every penny

Published on Dec, 2024

Worth every penny. Off the beaten path, would have never found these places on my own. Tak was a great guide and even taught us some basic Japanese.

Super Fun and Delicious

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide, Sean was amazing. He was super fun and very knowledgeable. We got to see so many interesting spots that I would not have seen on my own. Each of the places we went to were really delicious and super fun. You are really gonna have a good time on this tour.

Wholesome, fun and eye-opening Shinjuku bar experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

I had an amazing experience on this tour. It was only me with the guide, Tak, and I was travelling solo too so it made for some really great conversations. I was impressed with how easily Tak personalised the trip and made me feel so welcomed and relaxed. I’m sure he does this with all his groups regardless of size. The experienced involved some amazing local bar and food spots and Tak was educational, informative but also friendly and funny. I’ll be recommending this tour and hopefully Tak to my friends and family!

Excellent, do this!

Published on Nov, 2024

Excellent! Hiro is an extremely knowledgeable and this is a great way to introduce yourself to Shinjuku. It's also a great way to meet other travelers. I recommend doing this tour as soon as you get to Shinjuku.
