Shinjuku's Nightlife Subculture Tour
Overview of the tour in Tokyo
Konnichiwa! I am your guide: Ryo. I lived in Shinjuku district for half of my life. I graduated from Shinjuku Public High School and went to Waseda University, which is about a 30-minute walk from Shinjuku station. I have first-hand experience going to many of the establishments which we will discuss during the tour. So I consider myself to be a local.
During our tour, I will guide you through famous spots in Shinjuku. I will let you see what is under the surface of these neon lights and discuss what real-life people are doing in these establishments. This tour is not recommended for children under the age of 18 nor people who get offended by talking about different sexual orientations…
As a local, I will do my best to honestly answer any question, whether it is political, religious, racial, or personal. There is no taboo in our intercultural communication. Blunt questions are welcome.
So far the shortest duration of this tour was 2 hours, but since this is a private tour, we have Q and A discussion, and that often extends the duration.
