Tuk, our guide led us on a unique ecperience that we will never forget. - We enjoyed a night that we will never forget with our guide, Tuk, who was the most amazing host. He took us to a restaurant and a small bar in Shinjuku that we would never have found on our own. The yakatori was amazing. We also found out that Tuk is a gifted singer, as the bar we went to, at the top of a narrow set of stairs, had karioke. Even my husband,who is usually quite reserved, participated. Tuk showed us a part of Tokyo that really would’ve been hidden to us, had we not taken the tour. He was so friendly and knowledgable and told us so much about the history of the area and of Japan. We wish that we could give this ecperience 6 stars. Cannot recommend it more highly.

It was a lovely night♡ - It was a great experience, going around the hidden gems that only locals know about! The guide took me to the deep back alleys of Shinjuku and izakaya with lots of uniqueness, and I was able to fully enjoy the local atmosphere that I wouldn't normally experience. They enjoyed delicious food and drinks and interacted with other participants, and time passed very quickly. Thanks to the guide's extensive knowledge and fun conversations, I was able to learn more about Japanese drinking culture and it was a truly satisfying night. If you want to discover a new side of Shinjuku, I really recommend it!

Night in Shinjuku - This was an exceptional experience. I came alone to Japan and was looking for someone to help me navigate Shinjuku area. My guide (Liang Shuai) was great and very knowledgeable. Great time!

Different atmosphere from the shop you use every day - It was worth coming all the way from Chiba! The night in Shinjuku was more lively than I had imagined, and I really enjoyed bar hopping around the unique shops! The atmosphere was different from the one I usually use, and I felt a little more mature. Great satisfaction to meet delicious sake! I want to make another opportunity to participate.

First experience‼️ - Authentic Japanese restaurant in Shinjuku It was exciting to visit the stores with so many unique personalities. Enjoy an exciting night that you can't taste locally. I feel a little more grown up and would love to be on different tours to meet people!

It was fun to casually interact with them! - I wanted to go out for a drink, but there was no one I could call on short notice, so I decided to join the tour. I interacted with people who are participating from abroad, but it was very exciting and fun
