    Overview

    We offer an experience like no other. It is " real Japanese culture". Typical Shinjuku experience tours take you to places that are popular with foreigners. For example, "Memoide Yokocho" and "Golden Gai. But to be honest, most Japanese locals have never been there. Most of the people there are foreign tourists, and Japanese people do not go there. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that these are places for foreign tourists. Can we say that we "experienced Japanese culture" by going there? We do not think so. We take you to izakaya (Japanese style pubs) where "locals" always go. It is not a special place, but if you have Japanese friends, they will say, "What? You went there!" they will be surprised in a good way. We have begun to take action in order to show you the "real Japanese culture". Since we have just started our business, we offer our services at a lower price than usual.

    We will first stroll around "Memories Yokocho" near the meeting place. Although "Omoide Yokocho" is popular among tourists, I have never been there as I grew up in Tokyo. It is famous as a sightseeing spot. There are many stores in "Omoide Yokocho", but we will only stroll around. There are many menus in English and it is easy to enter, so please try it another time!

The signs for pachinko (Japanese pinball) and electronics stores are among the largest and most powerful in Japan. We will take pictures with the townscape in the background.
