5.00Sara was our fantastic guide who showed us Shinjuku’s vibrant nightlife with warmth and knowledge. From the neon-lit streets to hidden gems like Memory Lane and Golden Gai, she explained the area’s history and customs in a fun, approachable way. We learned a lot and always felt comfortable and safe exploring with her. Highly recommended!
Really recommended

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I joined the free Shinjuku walking tour with Hiroshi and honestly, the two hours flew by! He’s incredibly friendly, funny, and knows the area like the back of his hand. His English is excellent, and his jokes are absolutely top-tier — we were laughing the whole way through. Without Hiroshi’s local knowledge, we never would have discovered the hidden, behind-the-scenes spots of this neighbourhood. He explained everything in such an immersive and engaging way that it really brought Shinjuku to life. If you’re looking for a fun, informative, and genuinely enjoyable way to explore Tokyo, I can’t recommend this tour (and Hiroshi!) enough. A must-do experience!
Highly recommended

5.00A must-do tour! Daniel, our tour guide, was simply amazing, and he "walked" us through amazing city stories that we had no idea about them! Little alleys with the most mindblowing little japanese pubs, big shiny roads with huge electric signs... from the start till the end it was an amazing tour with an amazing guide and amazing storytelling! Thank you for this experience!
Night fun in Shinjuku.

5.00The Shinjuku night tour was fabulous. Danny did an excellent job explaining the area and giving his opinion on different Japanese ideas and lifestyle. We lived in Japan and have known and visited this area but still learned new information. Danny shared tips on where to eat, drink or socialize. Danny was a very friendly guy with a smile in his face. I would not miss his tour.
Fun time meeting new people and learning about Shinjuku/Japan
