About This Tour
This isn’t another “look, a shrine” tour. This is the only experience in Japan that pulls you out of the brochure and Instagram fakery, and into the reality of a neighbourhood in Japan you DON'T want to visit (unless you're with us). Led by local guides, you’ll hear the stories only locals can tell. We talk honestly and openly about poverty, pride, crime, community, and the realities that never show up in anime or Instagram reels. It’s raw, respectful, and completely one of a kind.
