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.

It was really an unexpected tour but a great one. Ryo managed to create a different kind of walking tour in terms of storytellimg and explanation and it felt great experience something else compared to most of the free walking tour. I would highly recommend to go on this tour.

Response from Ryo
Sergiu san ! Thank you very much for your review ! I am really glad that you liked the tour. It was obvious that Emma was exhausted from the beginning. So I thought you guys would drop out somewhere in the middle. Also, since we talked a lot, it took almost 3 hours to finish the tour. But you guys stayed until the end ! I admire your strength and determination! It was my honor to walk and talk with a beautiful couple from Rumania ! 😁😁😁

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.

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 !

Response from Ryo
I had a wonderful time walking with you two lovely ladies. As a man in his 50s, I don't often have opportunities to get to know younger women like you, so it was a very enjoyable experience for me. Since you requested it, we changed the tour route and visited some photo-friendly spots. I've never had that kind of tour before, and I had so much fun. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience.
