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.

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.

My fiance and I really enjoyed our tour with Harry. It was our first trip to Japan and we wanted to go to Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai but felt a bit intimidated as non Japanese speaking travelers. Harry made sure we saw the areas we were interested in and worked in a couple of other cool things that weren't on the itinerary like the projection mapping show on the government building. We had a lovely time and really felt like the tour was a good value and enriched our experience. I highly recommend a tour with Harry!

Enjoyed the view atop the Metropolitan Government Building as well as visiting and experiencing a yokocho. If we did not book this tour, we would never have experienced the night life of the locals. Harry was very informative and funny.

Harry is personable and a capable guide. We enjoyed our evening in and around Shinjuku.
