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.
Great tour
Ryo was an excellent guide, he showed us a dark side of Shinjuku we would never know of without his knowledge. I encourage everyone to experience it!
We had an amazing tour around Shinjuku with Ryo! It was such an interesting, off-the-beaten-path experience, showing us places we’d never have found on our own. You can really tell how much effort, knowledge, and passion he puts into every detail of the tour, from the stories he shares to the hidden spots he chooses. A note for future participants: This is a red-light district tour, so some content can be quite explicit, but Ryo is very respectful and made it clear from the start that if anything felt too much, he could tone it down. We appreciated that flexibility and professionalism. We absolutely loved the experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for something special and eye-opening in Tokyo. Thank you so much for making our time in Shinjuku unforgettable!
