Sho is a very good guide. He took us to very interesting places about the dark side of Tokyo. He gave a lot of background information. He also answered all our questions. We really loved the tour and we can highly recommend it.

Bryant did an amazing job and completely changed the way we experienced Shinjuku. He shared so much information that we never would have learned otherwise and even gave us recommendations for great food spots. This was the best free walking tour I've joined so far, and I've done many across Europe and Asia.

My daughter and I very much enjoyed this walking tour, the guide Sho was informative, genuine and open during a tour with more of a darker side to Tokyo. The tour was well timed as I had been a visitor to Japan a few times and had not experienced a tour like this. 100% recommend if you are looking for a non typical tourist experience.
