Tokyo Walking Tour with Licensed Guide Shinjuku

Posted By : Janet_J
My husband and I did a walking tour with Shimmy around the Shinjuku area. He was very knowledgeable of the area. He took us to the Temple where we learned to pray, which was helpful in another tour we took the next day to a different Temple. There was a festival going on during this time and it was quite busy. But, we loved seeing so many different foods that were available, much like an event held in the States. We went to the Kabukicho Tower where we walked through the food court and then up to the 17th floor observation window. Shimmy also took us through some of the "back" alleys where we were able to see some of the more intimate bars that only allowed for seating of 6-8 people. We loved this tour. Would highly recommend. An hour isn't long enough for the hustle and bustle of this area, but it was just enough for a quick overview. Thank you, Shimmy!

This was an excellent tour with Terry, such a nice and personable fellow. He was open to whatever I wanted to do and had so much love for his people and country, great information about Shintoism and we had a lot of fun and laughs. I highly recommend Terry if you want a solo tour on your own terms.

My tour was with Yoko. She was really friendly and knowledgable. I'm glad I booked the tour because if I had walked around by myself, I'd have missed out

Thank you terry for a great whistle stop tour of Shinjuku. It was pouring rain for the full hour but Terry still remained positive and upbeat. Having a short trip like this is a good idea to get an understanding of the area. Would recommend.

My tour guide Yoko was great. I had been in this area before but I was shown parts I had never seen and learned a lot about the history and culture of the area.

It was very cold and we waited for the guide that did not show up. We got a ‘sorry’ reply and not informed beforehand that guide was not going to make it. So time was spent waiting and trying to contact operator instead of walking around. It was refunded by Viator.

The tour was very fast paced and we saw a lot of things on the tour, which was good. Terry was a very informative guide. I don’t think I realized this was a red light district tour, however, and he walked so fast that some of us had trouble keeping up. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to families or people who can’t walk quickly. Also, I was kind of surprised he wanted videos of us at the end of the tour.

Amazing alternative tour which offered great insight into Shinjuku area. Terry showed us so many things that we wouldn’t have spotted without him; telling us about the local dating scene, what life is like for young people in Japan, and showing us great bars to visit. His fun and funny personality made us wish he was our guide for all of our Japan trip!

This was a definite highlight of our weekend in Tokyo & I would highly recommend.
