Our adventure begins in Omoide Yokocho, a labyrinthine alleyway affectionately nicknamed "Memory Lane."

We will explain the intricacies of the game: how to buy pachinko balls, operate the machine, and aim for the jackpot. We can help you navigate the process and exchange your winnings for prizes or tokens.

Now, we delve into the infamous Kabukicho, Tokyo's neon-drenched entertainment district. Kabukicho is known for its dazzling nightlife, but we'll be venturing beyond the flashy exterior to explore its hidden alleys and lesser-known corners.

Our guide, Zen, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Went through alleys and side streets that were out of this world, filled with dimly lit lanterns and packed with tiny restaurants that could barely fit 5 people. They were almost all full.
learned how to pray at shrine. Also the food recommended is very local which did really feel the subculture of japan
