“Cannot recommend this tour enough!! If you are wanting some fab photos of your trip, a fun time and to learn a little more about the Shinjuku area then this tour is the one for you! Gota knew all the best spots, showed you how to pose and provided information on the area, interesting facts we would not have known otherwise. He walked very fast but we were able to keep up.
