Hello, I’m Harry. This nickname comes from Harry Bosch, a character in American detective novels. I like watching films, listening to music and reading books, especially detective stories. I love meeting people from different countries and would like to help them understand Japanese culture and history. I was born and raised in Osaka and have lived in Tokyo for over 35 years. I am pleased to welcome tourists from all over the world. I will do my best to make your days wonderful. I can guide not only small groups but also large groups. I can also arrange a bus, coach, or luxury car according to your needs. Please feel free to contact me if you have any requests or questions. I can also provide shore excursions, such as Otaru, Hakodate, Sapporo, Muroran, Aomori, Akita, Sakata, Miyako, Hitachinaka, Yokohama, Tokyo, Niigata, Kanazawa, Maizuru, Sakaeminato, Shimonoseki, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Beppu, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Kochi, Takamatsu, Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Shimizu, etc. Please feel free to contact me if you have any requests. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.

Let's explore Shinjuku - its subcultures and local flavors
Overview of your Tokyo tour
Step into the heart of Tokyo’s nightlife with this guided evening tour of Shinjuku, ending with a drink and local dishes in the nostalgic alleyways of Golden Gai. Discover the contrast of neon skyscrapers and hidden backstreets, hear stories of Tokyo’s nightlife history, and enjoy food and drinks at a cozy izakaya loved by locals. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, and groups looking to experience authentic Japanese nightlife culture! ⭐︎At small restaurants, payment is accepted in cash only, so it would be good to have about 5,000–10,000 yen in cash per person. ⭐︎This is not a food tour. We decide what to eat and which restaurants to visit together, but please let me know if there are any specific foods you would like to try in advance, such as chicken skewers or Oden etc. ⭐︎Please let me know if anyone does not drink alcohol in advance.
