Great Japanese experience - Hare was great. We gained a lot of insights into typical Japanese life, ate some great food and visited places I would not have ordinarily visited. Very safe.

Must do Shinjuku experience - Haru was a great host. He was friendly, engaging and took us to three places we would never have found as tourists. There was a bit of walking to do but it was a great way to orientate ourselves in a new city. My only suggestion would be to meet at the first destination rather than meet elsewhere and then walk. Great experience, thank you Haru!

Fantastic experience! - Kazu led an amazing tour through Shinjuku. It was a pleasure being able to try authentic food from some of the local spots while learning about Tokyo’s culture. At every step of the way Kazu ensured that we had food, drink, and fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Japan!

Sadly was a disappointing experience - We were super excited for this tour and to explore more about Japanese nightlife culture. Unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Our tour guide is super lovely and communicative. However he was inexperienced and didn’t tell us any stories or insight into Japanese drinking culture as advertised in the tour description. He was accomodating and was willing to adapt the tour for us but there was no solid suggestion or direction as to how the night should progress. We didn’t spend any time at Golden Gai and had no explanation about the history or what the place is about. What we hoped to be a fun and cultural nightlife experience turned out to be quite disappointing and scattered.
