Absolutely fantastic! Naomi was amazing with her knowledge and fun facts. She is also easy to talk to and has a great demeanor! I would recommend this to everyone.

The Shinjuku Red Light District tour was great! Naomi was very kind and very insightful. The hour and a half that I booked was just enough time to squeeze in so many spots that I’ll have to visit next time in Shinjuku. Via the tour, you get to see Shinjuku in a whole different light (literally). Going through alley ways lined with izakaya, bars, and brothels was not only super fun, but super interesting. Learning more about how these businesses function was probably the highlight of the tour.

The walk is amazing - the talking to walking ratio is small enough that you won't mind is at all. Host's knowledge about shinjuku is enough to talk about the surroing around, and reply to your questions. Trip was enoyjable enought to the point I didn't feel the timr as it passed by. Definitely recommend this activity

The tour was very informative. There were more interesting tidbits than the title of the tour suggests.

It was a fun ride and I learned a lot about the social dynamics in the shinjuku neighborhood as well as very particular things about social life in Japan

Great experience! Best way to get to know a place is by having a chance of getting to know its people and have them show you around. A special thanks to Dan for all the insights and availability!

It was a great experience to see the city's nightlife spots, its culture, recommendations and precautions. It was also a great way to see the most touristy spots like Godzilla and the 3D Cat. Nanase, our guide, was charming, professional with her explanations, and very patient with our questions. A great experience and a pleasure to be there. Highly recommended.

The guide was lovely and very attentive at all times. She recommended loads of interesting places, explained plenty of curiosities along the way, and managed to make the entire walk really enjoyable and pleasant. It’s honestly worth it, both for everything you learn and for how much fun the experience is.

This is the only tour of the Red Light District that you can participate in even if you are not 18 years old. So wor could participate as a family of four without any problems. We told Nanase from Omoide Journey Japan beforehand that our youngsters can endure anything in the Red Light District. Since you don't enter clubs or anything like that anyway, but are told from the outside, there was nothing youth-endangering. Nanase was competent, devoted, communicative and flexible to adapt to our numerous questions. We can fully recommend the tour and Nanase as a guide. In the end, she recommended us a delicious restaurant at our request.
