🥷 What You’ll Experience
1. Meet Under Godzilla! Infiltrate the "Sleepless City"
The meeting point is beneath Shinjuku’s landmark, the "Godzilla Head." After uniting with your NINJA guide, head first to the iconic red arch of "Kabukicho Ichibangai." Passing through this gate, once called "Tokyo's Broadway," you will start your adventure feeling the heat of entertainment that has spanned from the Showa era to the present day.
2. Through the Neon Forest to a "Secret Shrine"
Passing through the bustling streets, the atmosphere changes completely. You will visit a historic shrine that has long protected the city of Shinjuku. This is a very rare shrine derived from the "Oni no O" (King of Demons) found in Japanese folklore. The benefits here are unique: In addition to the God of Business Prosperity (Ebisu), it is also worshipped as a guardian of skin health. Experience a Japanese wish-making ritual by pouring water on a lucky object in the precincts called the "Kaeru-ishi" (Frog Stone) to pray for "good fortune to return" (a play on words, as "Kaeru" means both frog and return). It is a potent "power spot" known only to those in the know.
3. Time Slip! The Retro "Golden Gai"
Next, we head to "Golden Gai," an area that retains the atmosphere of the post-war black markets. It is an area where about 280 tiny bars are crammed into the valleys between high-rise buildings. This narrow alleyway, where film directors and writers have debated night after night, is packed with the creative soul of Tokyo. While these back alleys can be intimidating for first-timers, with your NINJA guide, you can walk through feeling like a local connoisseur.
4. Finale at the God of Entertainment, "Hanazono Shrine"
Finally, we visit the urban oasis, "Hanazono Shrine." Known since ancient times as the guardian of entertainment, this is where many actors and artists come to pray for success. After swimming through the sea of neon, calm your mind in the quiet precincts. There are many delicious restaurants around the dismissal point. Your NINJA guide will recommend the perfect dinner spot for you, and the mission is complete!
