Ryo

Konnichiwa! 　I'm Ryo Takagi, your local tour guide! Born and raised in Tokyo, I'm a native Japanese with a connection to the Shinjuku area. I graduated from Shinjuku Public High School, just a five-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, and then attended Waseda University, about a 30-minute walk from the station. I used to live in Kabukicho town and also worked for a film production company located in Shinjuku Ni-chome town, a famous LGBTQ+ district. I was a regular customer of several of the establishments which we'll discuss during the tour, so I can share my experiences and stories about the neighborhood. Currently, I work as an English teacher at a cram school in Shinjuku, teaching both high school students and recent graduates.
