Return details
The tour ends at the last stop.

  • Omoide Yokocho
    Stroll through Omoide Yokocho and soak in the nostalgic atmosphere of narrow alleys, tiny shops, and old Tokyo charm.
  • Don't miss the iconic giant 3D cat of Shinjuku East Exit — one of Tokyo's most beloved digital landmarks. Keep your camera ready, though this mysterious feline sets its own schedule and may not always be around to greet you. (pass by)
  • Stop at the iconic Kabukicho Gate for a photo op. This grand entrance marks Japan's most famous entertainment district, which transformed from postwar ruins into a vibrant hub of nightlife and pop culture. (pass by)
  • Look up and spot the legendary Godzilla head looming over Shinjuku — a must-snap moment for fans and first-timers alike. (pass by)
  • Shinjuku Golden Gai
    Your guide will bring Golden Gai to life with stories of its postwar roots — a maze of tiny bars and narrow alleyways that has long been a gathering spot for locals, artists, and night owls. Walking through, you'll hear how this hidden corner of Shinjuku has somehow managed to stay exactly the same while the rest of the city transformed around it.
  • Hanazono Shrine
    Visit Hanazono Shrine, a landmark that actually predates Shinjuku itself. Your guide will share the stories behind its long history and explain why it remains a spiritual anchor for the local community.
  • Pass by Suehirotei, one of Tokyo's oldest surviving rakugo theaters and the origin of the name Suehiro-dori street. This corner of Shinjuku 3-chome has a quieter, more neighborhood feel — a side of Shinjuku where locals have gathered for entertainment and everyday life for generations. (pass by)
