5.00I found iNok through youtube. I loved his food recommendations and his overall vibe, enough for me to book a tour with him. Wow, I wasn't expecting this level of accommodation. We started off with a meal in Omoide Yokocho for some skewers, snacks, and beer. Then toured through Kabukicho, Japan's famous red light district where ended up getting some additional snacks and drinks. We made a quick stop at a shrine for a prayer and then ended the night in a small cozy bar in Golden Gai. Throughout the tour, I got tid bits of trivia and information. Since I was solo, iNok and I had a great conversation. Not only he speaks English, he also speak Spanish! If you want to visit these places but are too intimidated to go, iNok will take care of you. 💯 He started the night as a tour guide and ended up as a friend!

5.00Inok, the tour guide, was awesome! The tour was so good! It was the perfect mix of walking the city streets with a local, eating great food without the stress or pressure of walking into unknown territory, and learning some of the history of the area of shinjuku. Inok was super friendly and it felt like we've known each other for years. He's a YouTube influencer for food in tokyo so it was pretty awesome being able to hang out with someone we've been watching to research our trips to Japan. The food choices were perfect and it was a great mix of drinking and eating. Ate some of the best gyoza of my life at one of the restaurants. Overall a great experience and couldn't recommend it enough!
Excellent introduction to Shinjuku
