Konnichiwa ! I'm Ryo, your local guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I graduated from Shinjuku Public High School, a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station and then went to Waseda University, which is about a 30-minute walk from the same station. I used to live in Kabukicho town and worked for a movie production company located in the Shinjuku Nichome gay town. I have first-hand experience going to many of the establishments which we will discuss during the tour.
Currently, I work as a cram school English teacher during the day, teaching both high school students and recent graduates.
This was my 2nd Shinjuku walking tour and Ryo’s was the best. It was more informative and covered more locations than my previous experience, with a deeper focus on history, culture and social context. Ryo created a relaxed, open environment and explained the area in a straightforward, non-sensational way. I especially appreciated how open to questions he was. If you’re curious and want to understand this side of Shinjuku and Japan rather than just walk through it, I highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time exploring the red light district of Shinjuku with Ryo. He was a very professional, informative and friendly guide who showed us lots of hidden spots that we wouldn't have otherwise known about. We learnt a lot about Japanese culture and now feel like we have a better understanding of the country overall. Would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Ryo!
Ryo gave us a very detailed tour with detailed explanations of what happens in the establishments we passed. He is an excellent tour guide, very good English and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him
Ryo ist ein toller Guide. Viele interessante Informationen und Hintergrundwissen. Toll waren die Fotos der Bars auf dem Tablet - gut gemacht. Vielen Dank, Ryo. Uns hat es gut gefallen.
