Dietro ogni stoica faccia da uomo d'affari giapponese c'è un segreto, quindi un aspetto di "honne tatemae", che si traduce vagamente in qualcosa del tipo di mantenere il volto pubblicamente accettabile e il vero volto interiore. Questo, combinato con il disprezzo generale della cultura giapponese per l'affetto pubblico, potrebbe far sembrare che Tokyo non abbia una presenza LGBT vibrante come sperato. Non ti preoccupare: in una città grande come Tokyo, c'è ovviamente una scena gay fiorente - se sai dove guardare. Stasera, non vedrai solo il più grande gaybority del Giappone, Shinjuku 2-chome, ma Asakusa anche la sera. Avrai anche un solido primer nella società gay giapponese, sia presente che passata. Ci fermeremo lungo la strada per un pasto giapponese locale (opzioni di verdure disponibili) e anche un paio di drink. Preparati per un'avventura a tutto tondo nel cuore dell'omosessualità in Giappone, guidata da un amichevole madrelingua (o equivalente) della tua lingua selezionata che sa cosa significa essere gay in Giappone.

Sensoji (Tempio) forma il cuore storico di Asakusa, ma le aree dello shopping, dei ristoranti e dei divertimenti accanto al suo approccio sono anche il centro della popolazione "gay anziana" di Tokyo. Un secolo fa, Asakusa era per molti versi ciò che Shinjuku e Shibuya sono oggi. In effetti, il tratto da Asakusa a Ueno era così popolare all'inizio del XX secolo che la prima metropolitana asiatica fu costruita tra queste due aree (questa è ora conosciuta come la linea Ginza). Man mano che la zona invecchiava, anche la clientela invecchiava e cambiava volto, e soprattutto negli ultimi anni, c'è stata una pletora di bar gay, saune e persino aree di crociera per i papà e i nonni della persuasione gay. Cammineremo per il quartiere, parleremo di storia, contesto culturale e daremo un'occhiata ad alcuni luoghi importanti dall'esterno.
Questo fiorente quartiere dei ristoranti e dello shopping è adiacente al 2-Chome, ed è qui che prenderemo qualcosa da mangiare e da bere (incluso) in uno dei ristoranti socievoli e informali che punteggiano le strade.
2-Chome (pronunciato "knee choh may") è il più grande distretto LGBTQ nella più grande regione metropolitana del Giappone (o del mondo, se è per questo). Alcuni bar sono sgargianti, altri sono di basso profilo. La maggior parte all'interno, ma alcuni hanno viste visibili e che si riversano nelle strade. Ti faremo una panoramica approfondita e ci fermeremo anche in un bar per un drink (incluso).
Sensoji è probabilmente l'attrazione principale di Asakusa, durante il giorno, questo complesso di templi buddisti risalente al 7 ° secolo, è affollato di visitatori, ma di notte è una scena più dolce, forse più suggestiva. Splendidamente illuminato, avrai il tuo telefono fuori per una foto prima che tu te ne accorga.

It’s not a bar crawl by a local informative celebrity but not exciting. Host was mildly entertaining
Sorry to hear you were disappointed. Nowhere do we speak of a "celebrity" leading our tour, and the evening is not designed to be a pure bar crawl type evening in the first place. There's some sights to see and history to hear in the old gayborhood, followed by good food, a walk, then a drink in the main, newer gayborhood.
Reina was literally the best guide for this tour! His knowledge of Japanese culture and how it affects the LGBT culture in Tokyo was comprehensive! Really great guy and funny! Set a great pace for the tour through Asakusa then over to Shinjuku for some food and a cocktail at a local bar. I can’t say enough great things about him and this tour! Absolutely recommend!!! Thanks, Reina! Aloha and Mahalo!!
Adrian did a great job of bringing us through Asakusa and showing us the most beautiful aspects of the district while discussing the history. We had a great time on our small intimate tour having traditional Izakaya food and checking out the 2 chome bar scene. It was helpful to get an idea and explore the city.
We were really looking forward to this tour, but were disappointed. As visitors to Tokyo before, we have seen many sites and know a bit about local culture. We expected our guide to provide more knowledge and information about the local LGBTQ community, and history of our community here in Japan. Our suggestion, if starting in Asakusa, skip the temple and figure out a way to stop into a member only bar or snack. Otherwise just meet and focus the tour on Shinjuku ni chome. And have drinks in at least 3 queer bars. We only had one drink in one bar in 3 hours.
Thanks for the review. The vast majority of our guests have enjoyed the balance, but we understand it is not for everyone. However, I would like to point out that while there is one drink at a bar, there is also one drink at the restaurant before that. Not everyone wants to drink, and to build in the cost of three drinks at bars given the price of this tour... while also keeping in mind the commission that online tour sites take... well, it would be pretty difficult to pencil that out, especially considering the small group nature of our tours. As for the member bars, they are generally not interested in a gaggle of English speakers coming in.
Adrian was great and had plenty of insight into the area. Tasted some food I hadn’t experienced before and it was great; bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes on a skewer! As a solo traveler it’s always great to have knowledgeable people who know the ins and outs of an area and the tour was a fun way to see and experience Asakusa/Ni-Chome! Thanks again Adrian!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear the tour offered a fun way to explore Asakusa and Shinjuku, and that Adrian’s insights helped bring the area to life. It’s great to know you enjoyed trying new dishes along the way, and that the experience felt comfortable and engaging.✨
Hiroshi was an excellent tour guide who blended history and humor effortlessly. He was flexible when we wanted to explore and encouraging when we had questions that ventured beyond the schedule. He was a joy to have and I am appreciative of the knowledge he brought.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear Hiroshi’s blend of historical insight and humor made the tour both engaging and enjoyable. His flexibility and openness to questions are qualities we truly value in our guides, and your kind words will mean a lot to him.✨
Good overview of gay history and culture in Tokyo, especially Shibuya. The tour guide was very enthusastic.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We’re glad the tour offered more than just a bar-to-bar experience, giving you a chance to explore the history and cultural background of Tokyo’s LGBTQ scene.☺️
I unfortunately didn’t go on this tour—I was told the guide would message me on what’s app. At 6:30, when the tour was scheduled to begin, I messaged Viator and told them I hadn’t heard from the guide. The guide then messaged me at 6:50 pm saying he could wait until 7. It seemed a bit shady and absolutely unprofessional.
Hi Sam. We are not shady, nor are we unprofessional: We've been in business ten years and served tens of thousands of guests. When you booked the tour, you were provided with the time and meeting point information. We did also tell you that we'd share the guide contact info (but, importantly, we never told you the guide would be in touch with you) just in case you needed it. Unforunately, a system error blocked that email containing the guide info from being sent. But again, you already had the meeting point location and timing information, so there was nothing precluding you from joining the tour. We are sorry the tour didn't work out for you, but we also feel the need to set the record straight (excuse the expression) regarding the question about whether you were able to join the tour or not.
As a solo traveler I never know what to expect. This tour, and especially our guide Hiro, exceeded all of my expectations!
We’re so glad to hear the tour felt enjoyable for you as a solo traveler, and that Hiro helped make the experience even better.😊
Hiroshi was a good guide. On time, friendly and knowledgeable. Spoke excellent English. Set a good pace. Decent meal at an authentic Japanese restaurant.
Thank you very much for joining our LGBT Tokyo walking tour. We’re glad to hear that Hiroshi’s friendly guiding and thoughtful pacing made for a pleasant experience, and that you enjoyed the authentic Japanese meal along the way. We hope the evening also gave some insight into Tokyo’s diverse culture.😊
