Tokyo: Shinjuku Historical Walking Tour & Secret Backstreets

Kawa was informative, and very open to answering our questions. he recommended some great food spots. And we were able to see the history of Shinjuku in a relaxed and fun environment. we went as a family of 5 aged 13-adult so we did the tour late morning and it was good. we would Book the tour again at night when the kids are older to experience the areas we saw in another way.

had a great time exploring shinjuku. mao was such a great tour guide. we visited places, we definitely would bot be able to if we did not avail this tour. we got food recommendations and learned more about the history of shinjuku. this is a must tour.

I really loved this walking tour through Shinjuku! Chihiro was very knowledgeable, friendly and had a good sense of humour. We visited several sights and back alleys around Shinjuku that I would've struggled to find myself. She was very honest and open, sharing information on the area, the red light district, as well as providing recommendations on places to eat and drink. I highly recommend this tour.

Very articulate and knowledgeable guide who went through the narrative with remarkable clarity. She even went beyond her time to keep us fully engaged. the walk through the back alleys was quite revealing. worth the dollar. would highly recommend.

Great tour. The tour guide Ayika (sorry can’t remember her name). She was from Utah, Half Japanese. Was very friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating. we were short 100 yen and she spotted us for the coin locker. Loved the tour fantastic history.

Couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. Ayaka and George were excellent guides and their knowledge and insights of the area were great being first timers to the Shinjuku. We loved the glitzy and red light district areas as well as the 'dark' back lanes where a good time can be had by anyone that's prepared to try what Shinjuku has to offer. Do not miss this tour!

This was an awesome tour, highly recommend doing it early in your trip so you can get some food and drink venues to go back to. Yuki, Aruto and Rosa were friendly and got us around Shinjuku with ease.

Our guide Chihiro was amazing, and extremely knowledgeable. it was our first night in Shinjuku and definitely worth having someone show your around before setting out on your own. We were shown places we would have more than likely missed ourselves, great bars and eateries, cool things do do and even the sky line. Chihiro explained many things about Japanese culture, how to stay safe and what to look out for when strolling around at night, and showed us the popper etiquette for entering a shrine and making our wish. Would highly recommend.

This is a great tour of Shinjuku especially if this is your first time in Japan. Our tour guide, Naoto, was awesome; as part of the tour he showed us his recommended places to eat and value for money. We learned about how to enter a shrine, different types of outlet stores, showed us areas that we would have likely missed, and how to stay safe (super helpful on what to look for). It gave us the confidence to explore on our own and try new things. We booked the 5pm tour, which I highly recommend.

the tour was great and Koki the guide was amazing. we learnt a lot about Tokyo. Great Backstreet Experiences and real life about Tokyo from the inside out
