Walking tours and photo sessions in Tokyo by Paulo

We will meet and start at the busiest train station in the world, Shinjuku station east exit. Then we will walk to the atmospheric alleyways of Omoideyokocho, where we can see a plethora of small Japanese izakayas that mostly offers yakitori or chicken skewers. Then next we will walk to the Kabukicho area, This entertainment district is filled with bright lights, bars, restaurants, and pachinko parlors as well as touts and hustlers. This place is also where you can find the famous Godzilla road and then from there, we will go to the Golden Gai, which is a collection of mismatched tumbledown bars lining alleyways. After this, (IF TIME PERMITS) We can also move to Shibuya, via the JR Yamanote line train and show you the young and vibrant visual of Tokyo. In daytime, we can detour to one of Tokyo’s most popular parks, the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. The park's spacious lawns, meandering walking paths, and tranquil scenery provide a relaxing escape from the busy urban center around it. (Park’s entrance fee not included) The tour is going to be approx. 2 hours. All of these while I take some candid and posed photos of you. If you want to do it in a different location, please let me know. Feel free to ask about available days and book any day which suits you best.

Authentic Shinjuku Food & Drink Crawl with Yoshi

Have you ever wanted to truly immerse yourself in the local scene, eating and drinking as if you were a local in “Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane aka Piss Alley” or “Golden Gai(nostalgic bar district)”? This is actually possible only with this tour from Japan Local Experience!　 Shinjuku ward is home to approximately 5,000 dining venues. Yoshi, who has meticulously explored every izakaya (tavern) and bar in the area, will guide you to only the most carefully curated spots. This tour is made possible by Yoshi’s strong trust and connections with the owners of these izakayas and bars. Both Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai are incredibly charming places, and just walking through them is a missed opportunity in my opinion. You’ll also explore Kabukicho, Asia’s premier nightlife district. Immerse yourself in its uniquely vibrant and chaotic atmosphere. Since you’ve come all this way, I want you to experience it fully. Over 8000 guests have participated in this tour, which has received high praise for six years as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience!. Why not spend an unforgettable evening in Shinjuku, becoming a local with Yoshi and enjoying a fun time?
