Kagurazaka and Waseda - Tokyo's hidden neighborhoods
One of the challenges of navigating Tokyo is the complex transportation system. This tour aims to make your transition easy. Explore the city the local way by utilizing the public transit with the expert who knows the system very well. In the process, we will visit a few neighborhoods near Shinjuku
📍Meeting point: I will be waiting near the Shinjuku Station New South Gate, outside the JR East Travel Center. (There is a separate travel service center near the East Gate of the station so be careful you are headed for the "New South Gate".)
