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.

Thanks for the tour. Interesting insights in the world of "Japanese love". Good to mention, target group of the tour is adult men, not recommended under 18yo.

Response from Ryo
"Ramon-san ! Thank you so much for your review! Also, thank you for the cold drink during the tour. Since you told me about the Red Light District in Amsterdam, I’ve been watching YouTube videos about it. It looks so exciting, and I really want to visit someday!"

Excellent tour. Ryo was frank and honest so we learned a lot, no glossing over the strict facts with niceties. Went home to immerse myself in the TV series Tokyo Vice once we learned/understood the nuances. Excellent introduction.

Response from Ryo
Mark san ! Thank you for your review! Honestly, I had never watched Tokyo Vice before, but after reading your review, I decided to give it a try. It's looking great so far—I’m really enjoying it. I wonder how I didn’t know about this series until now!

Ryo was very professional, informative, entertaining and patient. We got to see a side of Tokyo that we would have never known about or seen without him.

Response from Ryo
Jean-san ! Thank you so much for your kind review! Honestly, during the tour, I wished we had more time to talk about New York and your life there. You mentioned that despite super inflation, there are ways to manage, and I’m sure you're doing just that now that you're back home. Thank you again for joining the tour—it was a pleasure having you !

It was very interesting to learn about the other side of Tokyo life. The tour was great, and our guide Ryo knows and most importantly loves his job. Thank you for an interesting evening!

Response from Ryo
Illisa-san, thank you for your review! Since you are the first Russian participant in this tour, I was very curious to hear your perspective, and I really appreciate what you shared about the war in Ukraine. May peace prevail !

Een mooie combinatie tussen persoonlijke ervaring en informatie. Het was erg interessant en grappig en ik heb me dan ook kostelijk vermaakt. Aanrader!
