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.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We meet at Ebisucho station (Brown Line) exit 5 at the top of the stairs.

1Shinsekai
We get things started with a quick jaunt through an old school shōtengai (shopping street) to see some of the "old" before hitting the neon lights of Shinsekai. Learn about local mascots with a drink in hand to warm us up before the back alleys really start.

This is the reason you booked this tour. Nishinari is known for many things, and we're gonna go have a look. Abandoned house, dark alleyways and karaoke bars are the norm here. Expect the Unexpected.

Welcome to Aki's BBQ spot! A locally owned and operated spot where we finish every one of our back alley tours. Deliciously smoked meat and cheap drinks to finish the night off with a smile.
