Ryo - Tour Guide in Tokyo

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 tour was super interesting, entertaining, and informative. It gave context and insight into all the nightlife activities in Shinjuku, and covers all the major areas in just a little over 2 hours. I highly recommend it.

Response from Ryo
Sonny san ! Thank you very much for your review ! I always admire American people's sense of humor. Maybe you didn't even notice while you were doing it because it seemed very natural. But you told many small jokes whenever I finished explaining each place. That helped me a lot during the tour and made the entire tour more enjoyable for all of us. Every time I have a participant like you, I feel like I have to work on my ability to tell quick jokes !

Highly recommended! This was a fascinating and deeply insightful tour. Ryo was a fantastic guide, highly enthusiastic, welcoming, and incredibly well-prepared. He used his tablet to show excellent visual aids and data that really brought the history to life. ​Just a quick heads-up: this experience is definitely geared toward an adult audience, as it covers sensitive and graphic subject matter that might not be for everyone. It's also longer than your typical walking tour, but the time flies by because the content is so gripping. It tackles crucial, often overlooked aspects of Japanese culture and relationships between men and women. If you want an eye-opening, mature perspective on Japan, don't miss this!
