My name is Koichi. I will guide you to underground restaurants in Shinjuku. This plan includes some drinks and food in the price by default. Shinjuku's Kabukicho is an underground place. "Golden area" is an even deeper place, lined with bars that have an atmosphere like the Japanese version of the speakeasy bars of the US prohibition era. I will introduce three places, selected by me. Koichi, our guide, lives in Shinjuku Ward, about 15 minutes by car from Kabukicho. I know about Shinjuku a lot, and I'm very good at English. I previously lived in Manhattan and Philadelphia for about two years around 2011. I am a certified public accountant of the United States. I have many friends in the United States, Europe, Taiwan, China, Thailand, the Middle East, etc., and is very friendly.
