Had so much fun on this ghost and wartime stories tour near Shinjuku! A great mix of spooky stories, history and plenty of laughs. We also got to explore some lesser-known areas we probably would have missed on our own. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and different way to discover Tokyo!

What an amazing tour! John was a very enthusiastic guide, who brought a different side of Japanese history/culture you probably wouldn’t fit anywhere else. He is clearly passionate about Japanese culture and life, and so happy to answer any questions you may have. I 100% recommend booking this tour for something different to do in Tokyo that you won’t find anywhere else.

I had a really good time, it was a small group, our guide John was funny and very knowledgeable. There was a good balance between the darker stuff and some more lighthearted jokes. The tour actually covered a lot more than what I had anticipated: from urban legends and superstitions to war crimes, the yakuza and all the shady stuff going in in the red light district.

overall, very good. John was easy to follow, both in walking and narrative.

Walk Tokyo’s dark side

Hear the history of crime
in Kabukicho and Golden Gai

The tour begins in Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Japan’s largest entertainment district and the center of organized crime in Tokyo. Here you will hear about gang wars, shocking murders, abandoned lovers and the hidden side of Tokyo’s nightlife industry. You will also take a short walk through Golden Gai, packed with tiny bars.

Listen to ghost stories at Toyama Park
and Aoyama Cemetery

Next, walk to Toyama Park to hear stories connected to the victims of Unit 731’s human experiments. Finally, at Aoyama Cemetery, listen to old Japanese ghost stories and visit the grave of Hachiko, Japan’s famously loyal dog. The tour ends near Aoyama-itchome Station.
