Shinjuku Introduction Tour

This is a tour intended primarily for guests staying in the Shinjuku or Shibuya area that would like a quick orientation of the surroundings.

I will show you practical information around your hotel, such as convenience store with ATMs, nearby coffee shops and lots of information about the transportation system including the chance to use them for a short distance. Also general advice about what you should or should not do while you are in Japan.

If you need assistance receiving your Japan Rail Pass or booking long distance train tickets, I can help during the tour. 

We will then do a walk of Tokyo's biggest commercial area, covering major spots like Kabukicho with the "Godzilla Road" to the "Golden Gai" and some quiet shrine in the back alley.

The tour is offered either in the morning or in the late afternoon/early evening.

 

To book: Please contact me first to check availability.

If you are staying in an area outside of Shinjuku or Shibuya but still want to do this tour, I can offer it for a different duration/price. I will reply with details after receiving an inquiry.
