Overview
Join me on a unique exploration of this dynamic area. Dive into the hidden stories that shaped Shinjuku, where the foundation of this vibrant district was laid by mobsters, immigrants, and Japan’s underclass. You will visit Omoide Yokocho, Golden Gai, and enjoy a panoramic view of Tokyo from 200 meters high!
If you are interested in Japan’s history, culture, and society, you will enjoy this tour to the fullest. Let me share with you, my knowledge as a documentary and history show director. Memorable experiences await you. The view from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building observatory is breathtaking. Let’s get lost in Shinjuku’s underground maze and soak in the unique vibes of Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai.
