Konnichiwa! I'm Ryo, your local guide. I graduated from Shinjuku Public High School, a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku station. I went to Waseda University, 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 district. I have first-hand experience going to many of the establishments which we will discuss during the tour. Therefore, I consider myself to be a local. During the day, I am a cram schoolteacher, teaching English to high school graduate students.
Ryo was amazing from the beginning of the tour and didn’t hesitate to dive deeper into Shinjuku’s dark history. A lot of personal stories shared by him helped me understand the internals of how Shinjuku’s night life operates. It only happens on Sunday’s generally so make sure you keep it free for this tour!
Ryu was a great guide and the tour was very interesting - bringing to life the darker side and sex industry and history of Shinjuku. He shared the information and insights in very clear and thoughtful way and was very personable. Glad we took this tour!!
Nice dive into japanese culture without tabou
Ryo was an excellent guide and knows his way around. The best back alleys and main passages in Shinjuku. Highly recommended.
Ryo was legitimately the best tour guide ive had in my life, the guy’s sense of humor and storytelling is top notch! Im so glad I got to meet him and learn more about the underground scene of tokyo! Amazing!!!!
