Best night of our lives! - We booked this tour as we wanted to go where the locals do in Shinjuku and it definitely did not disappoint! The places we were taken to were amazing and not places we could have visited on our own - the food was delicious and plentiful, the drinks flowing and the atmosphere next level. Our tour operators Dan & Suemi were so much fun and the group of people we toured with fantastic. The locals were so welcoming at each place and keen to have a fun time with us. After the tour ended we continued on with the group and hosts at a karaoke bar and it was the best time. Our group have all agreed that we feel this has pretty much been the best night of our lives. Thank you Dan & Suemi!

Awesome hosts and experience! - Everything was great. Suemi and Dan were great guides and hosts, making sure we learned about the area. They were also very accommodating with drink and food orders to make sure everyone got something they liked!
I’d highly recommend booking as you’ll probably get to have some experiences and food you probably wouldn’t get to on your own unless you speak Japanese.

So much fun!!! Worth every penny - Nana was a great tour guide! We had a group of 7 and we all had fun! Nana showed us a couple local bars we wouldn’t have found or experienced without her. Food and drinks were delicious. We also learned some interesting facts like, Omoide Yokocho- yokocho means hidden alley. Thank you Nana! 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend !

Best tour in Shibuya and Shinjuku! Do yourself a favor and book the tour! You will love it! - I can't recommend this tour enough, Suemi was our guide and senpai for the 3 hour journey. We got to see several local places, that would not be accessible without a Japanese speaker to guide us through.
Suemi's energy is fantastic, we went to a Japanese restaurant with the freshest fish I have had in my two weeks here, I am not a big fan of fish but this was GREAT. Everything was delicious and I even had a couple of sake drinks. We sampled several different fish sashimi and other dishes.
Next we went to an Izakaya with authentic Okinawan food (soba, pork, egg rolls), drinks, musicians, and atmosphere. Everyone on the tour felt so welcome, we sang, danced, and I got to play the drum for a couple of songs as well!
This is hands down the best possible way to enjoy Shibuya and Shinjuku, we ended up getting a couple of drinks at Golden Gai as well! Any of my friends who visit Tokyo will be recommended to take this tour! Thank you so much senpai Suemi, you researched a lot to make sure you bring the best experience to your visitors and we love it and appreciate it!
Take this tour, there is no doubt that you will love it if you want to enjoy your time here in Tokyo and have a tour guide that really cares about you having the best possible experience!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😁😁😁
P.S. the drums and singing at the Okinawa Izakaya is still ringing in my ears! A truly unforgettable experience!
