FULL ITINERARY

Let's embark on a journey through downtown Shinjuku, exploring the iconic spots Bob and Charlotte loved. We'll start at the Skyscraper District, surrounded by towering buildings framing the cityscape. Capture unforgettable moments at the Shintoshin pedestrian bridge and admire the breathtaking Shinjuku skyline from an open-air terrace. To top it off, dive into the lively atmosphere of an authentic Japanese arcade Game Center, just like the characters in the movie, where you can have some fun and feel like a kid again.

Uncover the vibrant neighborhood of Kabukicho, Tokyo's famous red-light district and the epicenter of futuristic Tokyo. Neon-lit alleys pulsate with a diverse mix of people, creating a bustling, electric atmosphere. Explore this captivating area and be awe-inspired by the towering Godzilla, an iconic symbol of the modern city. Kabukicho's streets promise surprises at every turn, offering a glimpse into the pulsating heart of Tokyo's nightlife.

Join us as our journey unfolds through the narrow alleys of Golden Gai, a truly unique part of Tokyo. This area is a treasure trove of tiny bars, many with just two or three seats, where you can meet an incredible array of characters. It’s a place where locals and foreigners come together, sharing stories in a setting frozen in time. We’ll pause for a drink in one of the most unique bars in the area, savoring one of Japan’s most iconic beverages. Following this delightful experience, we’ll explore the tranquil Hanazono Shrine, a peaceful oasis amidst the urban chaos, offering a serene break in our adventure.

To culminate our adventure, we will immerse ourselves in the quintessential Tokyo experience by indulging in a late-night karaoke session, following the footsteps of Bob and Charlotte. At a private booth, you will have the opportunity to unleash your inner performer, relishing unlimited soft drinks while experiencing karaoke in the true Japanese tradition. This experience promises to be the perfect way to wrap up the night, offering a chance to let go and relish the moment, just as depicted in the movie.
