Amazing Experience to Understanding Tokyo

I had an amazing time with Max! My girlfriend and I learned so much about contemporary Japanese culture and had delicious food along the way. I highly recommend everyone join this tour.

A must for Shinjuku

Max was amazing! Super chill and easy to talk to! He showed us parts of Shinjuku that we otherwise would not have explored without a local.

Operator response

Getting off the main streets is where Shinjuku actually gets interesting, and that's exactly what Max is good at showing people. Thanks for calling out how easy he is to talk to too, that matters as much as the food does. Ninja Food Tours Team
