So much fun

Our tour guide Anne was lovely and knowledgeable, took us to see all the wonderful sights and lights in shinjuku and the food was delicious the different cuts of meat were both wonderful and strange. My favourite place of course was the all you can eat snack bar.

Adventure in shinjuku station

I had so much fun. The tour is great, I can't recommend it enough. Shinjuku station is way bigger than you think, you will see some awesome sights such as a Shinto shrine and the view from the top of the metro gov building. The guide is also super friendly, has perfect English and is quite funny.

Great tour!

Our guide was Remi and we had a great time! Loved getting a variety of Japanese foods (sushi, BBQ, and a sake tasting) while also walking around Kabuki-cho and Shinjuku, getting to know people in our group, and talking to Remi about life in Japan. Our only wish was that the tour had a few more stops for smaller bites, instead of 3 stops with 2 dinners, but we’d definitely do it again!

Fun night out

Who knew there was vegetarian sushi! We shared a tasting of this plate, whilst eating the regular kind as well, and it was delicious. Good group, great guide and plenty of food. Japanese BBQ was fun and then to a bar for a drink and snack. Wandered down the narrow alleys of Omoide Yokocho which was interesting to see. Very lively at night.
