Great bar hopping tour to get to know the main areas in Shinjuku
X9681CVgeorged, October 2026
Naoki was great! He has information about pretty much anything we asked. He taught us a lot about Shinjuku, Tokyo and Japan in general. He made sure everyone is having a good time and that we are not getting lost around Shinjuku!
