The tour will begin at 9.30am inside Yotsuya-Sanchome train station where you will meet your tour guide. You will meet directly outside of the ticket gates at the yellow information board directly in front of you to the left side. Once everybody has arrived, you will officially start the tour and your tour guide will escort you to the first destination! Enjoy a guided tour at a local history museum dedicated to Shinjuku’s past and development over time. We will journey from early Japan all the way to modern times to understand how Shinjuku has become one of the busiest and most exciting entertainment districts on earth. Remember to take photos with the impressive to scale replicas at the museum!
We will then walk to Shinjuku Gyoen Park and Gardens to enjoy the tranquility and nature that this popular destination provides to locals looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the world’s most populated city! A guided tour on the history and development of the park will be provided and you will then enjoy a matcha and traditional Japanese sweet experience at the Park’s own tea room.
Next, we will make a quick stop at a local shrine tucked away from the craziness of the city. This beautiful shrine will make you feel like you’ve stepped out of Tokyo where you can enjoy the peace and stunning shrine architecture.
It is now your lunch time! Here, we will walk to Golden Gai and Kabukicho, Shinjuku’s lively entertainment centre. Golden Gai is a small area lined with small traditional Izakaya and bars, and makes for a great photo opportunity.

You will then enjoy exploring and trying some local food at your leisure on your lunch break! Remember to look up and wave to Godzilla!
