5.00What a fun tour! We had a great time trying food and exploring and chatting with Kyle. Lots of laughs! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of interesting facts to share that we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. He also answered our questions about etiquette, history, language, and culture. All the food we ate was delicious too.
Great way to experience Shinjuku!

5.00Kyle and the food were great. It wasn’t too much or too little. Kyle was very personable and insightful of the insides and outside of Shinjuku. He would always ask if we’re okay and adjust to our pace. We left with a lasting impression and a perspective of Japan we wouldn’t have known and seen thanks to Kyle and the tour. Well recommended. Arigato gozaimashita
A must try!
