Overview

Let’s explore Shinjuku, the most visited area in the world. This area offers a fascinating contrast—from streets that retain the retro charm of 70 years ago, to being the neon-lit heart of Tokyo’s nightlife, and even revealing glimpses of the city’s darker side, including the presence of yakuza. At the same time, you’ll also encounter pockets of nature that make for a pleasant and refreshing walk. We promise this tour will be a memorable and comfortable experience.

Please note: this is a budget‑friendly tour that relies primarily on tips.

Activity itinerary

Omoideyokocyo　Guide　Tours
  • 20m
First, let's explore Omoide Yokocho, a retro alley that preserves the nostalgic streetscape of Tokyo from about 50 to 70 years ago, during the Showa era. In the heart of the world's busiest metropolis, you'll feel as if you've wandered into another world filled with old-school charm.
Kabukicho
  • 20m
Let’s take a walk through an area known for Tokyo’s vibrant nightlife. While it’s home to numerous night entertainment venues like hostess clubs and nightclubs, it also reveals a darker side of the city, where homeless youth once gathered and yakuza presence was more prominent. Don’t worry—during the day to early evening, the area is safe to explore.
Shinjuku Golden Gai
  • 20m
Next, we’ll head to Golden Gai, another area that preserves the retro atmosphere of old Tokyo. Unlike Omoide Yokocho, Golden Gai has a strong subcultural vibe and was frequented by actors, writers, and other creative minds. It’s a unique bar district with a slightly more exclusive, sophisticated atmosphere.
Hanazono Shrine Festival
  • 10m
We’ll finish the tour at a traditional Japanese shrine where you can truly feel the essence of Japanese culture. The spacious grounds offer a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, allowing you to experience a timeless atmosphere far removed from the city's hustle and bustle.
